Buttermilk is a fermented dairy product. Traditionally, it was the liquid left behind after churning butter out of cultured cream. As most modern butter is not made with cultured cream but sweet cream, i.e. uncultured, most modern buttermilk is cultured. Buttermilk can be drunk straight, and it can also be used in cooking. In making soda bread, the acid in buttermilk reacts with the raising agent, sodium bicarbonate, to produce carbon dioxide which acts as the leavening agent. Buttermilk is also used in marination, especially of chicken and pork.

    Buttermilk

    We have some leftover buttermilk from a recipe that called for it. For the heck of it, this morning I used some of it on my cereal. I was surprised that I really liked it. Do you use buttermilk and if so, how do you use it?
