| 4117.6 | What does the buttermilk do? | BSS::KELLY_NA |  | Tue Feb 18 1997 14:12 | 7 | 
|  |     Hi there,
    
    What does the buttermilk actually do for the recipe?  I don't actually
    like buttermilk but if it makes the bread moister, etc. would gladly
    give it a try.

It reacts with the baking soda to make the bread rise.  I assume it also
will add a bit of tang to the finished product.   I don't care to drink
buttermilk, either, but often find it useful in cooking (it's really great
for marinating chicken before frying, for example).

|  |     I don't use much buttermilk.  So if I need some for a recipe, I often
    just add lemon juice to regular milk and use that.  You just need the
    acid content.  Real buttermilk tastes somewhat better, though.

What I've always wondered is:  how can you tell if your buttermilk
has gone bad?  :-)

|  |     Believe me, you won't have any question about it if your buttermilk has
    gone bad!  Phew!*  And this is what usually happens to me if I buy a
    quart of buttermilk, since few recipes use very much of it.  I wish the
    stuff were sold by the half-pint.

|  |     Charlotte,
    
    Have you tried using the powdered buttermilk?  I often use plain yogurt
    instead of buttermilk.  It sets better with my digestion.  I add water
    to it to get the thickness right.

|  |     Or try making your own - regular milk and either vinegar or lemon
    juice.

It seems an awful lot like that when it's brand new to me. :-)

| 4117.14 | freeze buttermilk? | ORION::chayna.zko.dec.com::tamara::eppes | Nina Eppes | Wed Feb 19 1997 17:39 | 6 | 
|  | RE leftover buttermilk - you can freeze it, n'est-ce pas?  I remember
my grandmother and my mother freezing buttermilk in 1/2 cup or 1 cup
portions, since they used it pretty much only in my grandmother's doughnut
recipe.

| 4117.15 | Another vote for the powdered buttermilk | MROA::WHITMORE |  | Thu Feb 20 1997 10:05 | 10 | 
|  |     Many supermarkets now carry the powdered buttermilk in those round fat
    cans with a plastic lid.  The brand I see has a moustache'd guy in a
    hat on the label.  *Where* they're located is a bit tricky, I've found
    them near the evaporated/condensed milk cans, in the baking section,
    even in the dairy case...
    
    I only use it for recipes, and it works fine for me - I hate having to
    buy a quart of something when you know you only need 2 tbs.
