Buttermilk Recipe

Buttermilk is a general term for a variety of dairy drinks. Traditionally, buttermilk is the term used to refer to the liquid extracting from cultured curd. It is churned and diluted in water. You can have a salted or a sweet buttermilk. Such fermented drinks are common to warm countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, India, the Balkans and the Southern United States.

A few food items need buttermilk; items like waffles or pancakes. All you need are two ingredients, and you can make a version of butter milk that you would love sipping from an insulated tumbler

How do you like your buttermilk? Some people drink it straight or use it to cook but whatever your preference is, we have got you covered. Good news for vegans! It is possible to make vegan or dairy free buttermilk.

Health Benefits:

1. Buttermilk boosts the body’s protein intake. Every cell present in the human body has a certain quantity of protein in it. Also, every tissue in the body relies on protein for constant maintenance and repair.
2. The nutrients are particularly essential for the formation of strong bones, skin, and muscles. If you take 1 cup of buttermilk, you get approximately 8.1 grams of protein which translates to the same amount of protein you get from regular low-fat milk. The amount of protein you get from a cup of buttermilk is about 15% – 17% of the protein required by women and men.

Ingredients

milk: 1 cup

lemon juice or white vinegar: 1 tbsp

How To Make Buttermilk Recipe

1. Pour 1 cup of milk into a bowl.
2. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice alongside the milk present in the bowl.
3. Stir it well.
4. Leave the mixture for a period of 5 minutes.
5. The milk will now start curdling and it would become acidic.
6. You can then use this mixture in your any recipe, where it calls for some buttermilk!

TIP: If you have leftover buttermilk, don’t throw it away. Instead you can make:

• A creamy salad dressing; it's easy to make a quick ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing if you have buttermilk on hand, and they taste so much better than the bottled stuff.
• Fried chicken and coleslaw for dinner; it's not an average type of meal, but this combination just amazing and it's a great way to use up extra buttermilk.
