Next time you’re out of butter milk, no need to drop everything and run to buy store-bought buttermilk. You can easily make it at home with just 2 ingredients. And trust me, you won’t believe how simple it is!
The taste is sour, so I wouldn’t recommend drinking it (although you can if you want). It’s perfect for baking and keeps your baked goods super soft and moist. It’s also great to use in condiments like dressings or syrup. I love using it when making this recipe for buttermilk pie, drop biscuits, buttermilk pancakes, or a homemade ranch dressing.
What is Buttermilk?
If you find yourself asking, “what exactly is it?” – the answer is simple! Buttermilk is a dairy product made with 2 simple ingredients: milk and vinegar. It’s has a tangy flavor and it usually has a thicker texture than regular milk, but is lower in fat.
