2009-Apr-6 - Homemade Buttermilk
I love to make anything and everything homemade if I can! So when it comes to the kitchen, homemade is definitely a priority! I just love to ‘create’ my own buttermilk! This makes SUPERB pancakes, salad dressings, biscuits and so much more! This is so easily done.
I grab a quart of organic, raw buttermilk from my local Natural Foods Co-Op (you can use regular store buttermilk too!) I take 2 cups, I then pour this in one of my (very clean) half gallon glass milk jugs and fill the rest of the way up with raw goats milk (You can use store bought milk here too if you wish). I set this out on the kitchen counter for 12 hours. I give it a little shake, and put in the fridge. Voila!
Use clean containers, and fresh buttermilk and milk to start. It should smell ‘buttermilk-ish’ not ‘bad’. I’ve yet to have a bad batch. I use a good amount of buttermilk and if you always keep it FRESH, and keep 2 cups to make a new batch…you’ve got your own homemade buttermilk! (This is akin to a ‘starter’) If you don’t use so much buttermilk, just cut this recipe in half!

I am very interested in making everything homemade that I possibly can. I love your precious website!
Silly question here: You are making homemade buttermilk but begin with storebought buttermilk as part of the equation. I'm confused as to why this is?
