Title: BUTTERMILK
Post by: Yvette on January 12, 2011, 09:58:48 pm

Sorry for my ignorance is buttermilk with the normal milk or is it a longlife product?

it is the milk you are left with after making butter. The fat (cream) is separated from the butter milk in the process and you are then left with buttermilk  ;)

No ignorance, we have all been there over something some of us like me (that didn't have a cooking background) more than others and eveyone is always ready to help  :D :D

Thanks for that Kathryn I have noticed it in a few recipes I have been looking at lately can you buy it in the supermarket?

Hi Yvette, yes you can buy buttermilk in the supermarket. It will probably be near the milk or cream.

Yvette you can make your own buttermilk (apart from that left after making TMX butter) - use  just under 1 cup (250 ml) milk + 1 tabsp white vinegar or lemon juice

• Place tabsp white vinegar or lemon juice 250ml measuring cup.
• Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to 250 ml
• Let stand for five minute

I have often used this when there is no buttermilk in the house. Cheers  :)
