Memories!  My grandfather and father poured the buttermilk over cornbread in a bowl and ate it like cereal.  It was time for me to leave the room - didn't want any suggestions that it would be "good" for me.

Makes a big difference in cooking and baking. Biscuits, especially. Pancakes

are fluffier.

Stuff is disgusting . I would never drink it. LOL  Just for baking and such.

Try this... Best combo ever: Buttermilk and Pom juice ( any type but the real Pom brand).  About 1:1 ratio, or as you like it!

I have been addicted to this drink last 2 summers. So sweet yet tangy and cooolinggg. I love this drink. I hope others try it and love it too.  ❣️ Skye

I have a can of powdered buttermilk that tastes great and I don't have to worry about expiration dates. Plus no waste, as I often just need 1/2 cup for a recipe.

Since I use only for baking, I wish I could find in a pint size. Has anyone tried any of the powdered buttermilks for baking?

I freeze leftover buttermilk  in ziplocks in 1 cup portions for baking later..

@trenet  Yes I use the powdered buttermilk for baking and cooking all the time.  Hubby and I do not drink it, therefore to buy the liquid is a waste for us, it spoils before I can get it used up.  I buy Hoosier Farms and Wincrest from Amazon.  I make it the day before I use it as recommended.  I also use the powdered cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream and heavy cream.

When I was young and we drank buttermilk, it was not the cultured stuff you buy at the grocery.  We made our own butter and the leftover is buttermilk.

The buttermilk was not as thick as the cultured buttermilk and the taste was not quite as strong.

Guilty of eating "clabber" also.  And we always had cornbread cooked!

makena, Susan-QVC, All:

FYI............Buttermilk has a long 'shelf' life. Way past the date that is listed on the carton.

Google it & here's what you will find:

Buttermilk lasts for 1-2 weeks beyond the date printed on the carton, and it can usually even be used beyond that point for cooking and baking needs. Buttermilk is a dairy product now produced by adding a culture of lactic acid producing bacteria into whole milk.Apr 21, 2015
