About Milk, buttermilk, dried

Buttermilk today is a tangy, cultured dairy product made by fermenting low-fat or nonfat milk with lactic acid bacteria, giving it a pleasantly sour taste and a thick, slightly viscous body. The name comes from the original version, the thin liquid left behind after churning cream into butter, but most buttermilk now sold is deliberately cultured. It is lower in fat than whole milk yet rich in calcium, protein, riboflavin, and vitamin B12, and its live cultures make it mildly probiotic and easier on lactose-sensitive stomachs.

Buttermilk is a baker's secret weapon, its acidity reacting with baking soda to produce exceptionally tender, fluffy pancakes, biscuits, cornbread, and cakes, while cooks also use it to marinate and tenderize fried chicken and to whisk into creamy ranch dressings. In a pinch, milk soured with a little lemon juice stands in. Keep buttermilk tightly sealed and refrigerated, and shake it well before each use.
