Cultured Buttermilk for Cooking and Baking, Powdered, 12 oz (041756040124)

I like using this product when making salad dressings and marinating chicken. It's easy to use although I have to refer to the website for exact instructions on smaller quantities such as one tablespoon or one-quarter cup. I keep it in the fridge and it keeps well. Recommended.

I don’t drink milk so I don’t buy it and keep it in the fridge. Unfortunately a lot of recipes call for milk so I end up feeling like I have to buy it. Instead I found this and I can keep it in the fridge to make buttermilk as needed for various recipes. It’s convenient to have you never know when you might use it. Still trying out recipes but it makes great pancakes!

This product makes great pancakes. We used to be able to pick this up at the Whole Foods grocery store where we shop but found this product on line at Amazon. If you like buttermilk pancakes, this is a great product as you do not have to buy actual buttermilk which is way too much leftover unless you eat pancakes every day. We have been using this product for several years & love the pancakes it makes for the 2 of us. Great to have on hand if there are only 2 of you to make breakfast for & we highly recommend it. Great for us empty-nesters. You do need to refrigerate it after opening & using the product for the first time.

Nice to have on hand when I don't have the liquid kind. I really like this brand. Expiration date is way ahead in time too. The only reason I didn't give it 5 Stars is because it could have been packed nicely and it came damaged. Quick Shipping though.

Many of my bread recipes call for buttermilk, but it's not my choice of casual drink. I tried this powder and tasted it after mixing it in water; it's pretty good. I've found that warming the water and using a corded hand held mixer gives the best results, though one would argue that it might not make much difference in the dough. My breads, with this in them, taste better and have a softer, firmer texture. For some reason, not available locally. I might try them in doughnuts.

Finally, a powdered version of a very useful pantry staple. Refrigerated buttermilk is not always available, and one usually doesn’t finish the whole carton before it sours. This is the perfect solution, and although I haven’t used it myself yet, I have it on excellent authority that it works just like the liquid kind.

I’ve used this product to make buttermilk bread in a bread machine for over ten years. It’s also good for other recipes. And you can use it when you want to soak chicken in buttermilk before cooking. The container I received yesterday smelled strongly of chemicals from being shipped with non-food items which reeked of chemicals. It’s likely that the chemicals off-gassed during shipping and transferred to my food items in the same box. I might have to throw this container away because it’s cardboard and it can’t be washed thoroughly to get the chemical odor off. But I will continue to purchase and use this product because it’s so handy. And it can be stored for awhile in the fridge. It’s cheaper than having to buy fresh buttermilk on a regular basis.

I'm never without this stuff. I use it in biscuits, of course, but it's also handy when a recipe calls for buttermilk. Who has fresh buttermilk laying around? What? You're going to buy a quart when you need two tablespoons, and let the rest rot in your fridge? With this product, one can mix up even small amounts of buttermilk as needed, and there's no waste. Just FYI, my primary use for it, is that I brine almost all meat—chicken, port, even beef—in buttermilk brine. What a difference it makes to any and every meat! Full marks.
