I buy the Sego powdered buttermilk. It works really well in recipes like
batter breads and biscuits. No tossing the leftovers.

My husband used to drink it, although he always complained it wasn't
"real"; i.e., it was cultured rather than left over from churning
butter. Also, he was raised in the country and loved cornbread made
with buttermilk.

The dear aulde dad did. He also used to stuff left over cornbread in a
glass of buttermilk and actually called it "spoon bread." :-)

And I've used buttermilk well past its "sell by" date with no ill
effect. If it passes the eyeball and sniff tests, I'll still use it.

I often buy just a cup (half pint) because that's what I need for my
weekend pancake recipe.

I do, and I love it when I'm in the mood for it. I also add it to salad
dressings, use it wherever sour cream would be called for, or stir it
into cold soups.

I watched my husband put cornbread into buttermilk many a time. I
agree - buttermilk is OK long past the sell date.

Buttermilk is the ONLY type of milk I will drink. I can't stand the taste
of regular milk, regardless if it's full fat, 2%, or skim. Having said
that, I don't really drink buttermilk all that often; only when I've bought
if for some other purpose, then I drink the rest.

I do much the same, buttermilk is basically spoiled milk anyway, it just
gets more sour. I have kept a half-gallon jug in the fridge for months
and just kept using it until it was gone. It never smelled bad but I
don't know how it tasted as I don't care for buttermilk, just cook with it.

Add that baking soda to it and watch your cornbread puff up when the
acidic buttermilk turns to gas.

Use some for reconstituting canned condensed tomato soup instead of
water or milk. Some people call this Tomato Bisque but I just call it
tasty. Tip: this curdles easily, so don't let it boil on the stove top.
Better yet, heat to serving temperature in a microwave. Also, don't add
anything acidic, like lemon juice. This will cause it to curdle too. BTDT

I love to drink buttermilk. It's just not a good choice for a thirst
quencher. If I were in the mood for tomato juice, the same urge for a
"savory" drink would be satisfied with Buttermilk.

Felice - I forgot to mention that if you needed buttermilk for a recipe,
and don't want to buy it. Just add a Tbs of vinegar or lemon juice to
one cup milk, let sit for at least 5 minutes.

Thanks! I always thought that canned tomato soup was yuck. But this
sounds like one of those flavor combos that might work.

I do. Modern commercial buttermilk is produced on the same lines as
yoghurt or kefir and is not unlike a thin version of either. Served
chilled (which is the default, since it ought to be refrigerated), it is
very refreshing.

I'd rather have kumys, though, even if only the faux version made with
cow milk. It is much more intensive tasting than any other fermented
milk product.

When I get buttermilk I tend to use it for pancakes and scones. One of
these days I should try it for fried chicken.

No, I've never drunk it. I bet it would freeze well. If you
are just using it in a recipe, the thawed texture shouldn't matter.

Yes. I used to balk at buying it for a recipe too, until I acquired a

A friend gave me hers when she packed to move almost 2 thousand miles
away. It turned yellow and into a rock. I tossed it.
Course, she might have had it since the Vanzetti affair.

It is not sold in all stores around here, and the only size I have ever

From personal experience, I've found that the powder doesn't work
successfully in every recipe that calls for buttermilk. While it does supply
the acidic and general flavor characteristics, some recipes also need the
somewhat thicker consistence of either cultured or homemade liquid
buttermilk. YMMV

I've found that often 1/2 pint and pint cartons are available at convenience

Mr. Bill - Note I did not say that it was buttermilk. I said, it could
be done for a recipe. I probably should have used the words "substituted
for", but the intent was the same.

I can't remember what I didn't add salt & pepper. I also don't remember
if someone suggested, I saw someone do it, or I did it (like with tomato
juice sometimes) cause I thought it would enhance the flavor.

Not mine either. I buy quarts for pancakes and fried chicken or oysters. I
rarely use up the quart before I have to dump the remainder. I always try to
find one with at least a 2 week expiration to give me a fighting chance at
using it all up.

Yep. I love it, but I don't drink it often. I only really
like to drink it with a traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon,
potatoes, etc. I especially like to pour a tall glass and
add a dash of salt and a hefty sprinkle of freshly ground
pepper and then stir it in. Yum.

You shouldn't have to toss it after one use even if you don't
drink it. It keeps a very long time - months! And there's lots
of things you can use it in. If you like scrambled eggs - I like
to use some buttermilk in with the eggs instead of milk or water.
Then you can make buttermilk biscuits, or buttermilk pancakes, or
lots of stuff.

Why not plan several things that use it when you want to make
something that calls for it. It is a shame to waste it.
