Homemade buttermilk, together with sweetened condensed milk are the most recent additions to my repertoire of homemade pantry staples.
How to go about Making Homemade Buttermilk
I must admit that before I began making homemade things, I was skeptical. I worried that it would take too much of my time. However, I have come to realize that there is enough time do whatever I set my mind to. I have also come to realize that doing it this way is more effective as I know what goes into my food. This sentiment is shared by other bloggers.
This recipe for homemade buttermilk only calls for milk and vinegar. Within ten minutes, your buttermilk is ready for use. It has simple ingredients and takes a short time to prepare.
When I’m making baked goods, I prefer using buttermilk for liquid. I find it best for marinating fried chicken. It gives your chicken a tender crumb and extra moisture.
Trips to the grocery store can become tedious, and many people prefer to skip it if it means going without one recipe ingredient.
When it comes down to it, you can choose fruit juice, vinegar or lemon that is freshly squeezed for this recipe. I prefer white vinegar, but there are other neutral kinds of vinegar that work as well.
The milk used to make the buttermilk will depend on your preferences. You can decide to go for 2%, whole milk, skimmed milk, or any other type. I like to go for the whole milk.
It’s exciting how easy this recipe is. I don’t have to buy a carton of buttermilk at the store anymore. I find it a total waste of money. Now all I need is milk and I can make the buttermilk I need.
