Any idea where to buy buttermilk?
Thanks in advance.

I have seen it at Cold Storage (King Albert), Tanglin Market, Jason's. You may have to try a few times though, it's not always there when you need it.

You know you can also make a very good substitute, just google it and a lot of options will come up. The powdered kind also works very well. Happy Hunting.

I make buttermilk pancakes and sometimes find it at Cold Storage, but as MHB says, it varies whether it is available. I have this substitution that seems to work just as well. Mix a quarter cup of white vinegar and 1 3/4 cup milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using, you should see it curtle a bit. I can't tell the difference and the pancakes are always gone.

Found buttermilk at Centrepoint CS and the birthday cake was a big success!

Next time I might try the substitute. Thanks again.

I was forced to drink buttermilk when I was a kid . . .

This explains a lot. Were you particularly thin and sickly or was this the only option for you as it has a longer shelf life ?

My father was a jerk.

OK, no buttermilk for you.

How do we feel about rhubarb?

I may be wrong but I thought buttermilk was the milk left over when the butter had been removed. So isn't buttermilk just skimmed milk? ie low fat milk?

Nope, it's disgusting thick stuff . . .

It is the liquid left over from the butter making process, but real butter can only be made from cream, not milk. Cream as you know separates from fresh milk and rises to the top.

Skimmed milk is milk in which the fat solids have been skimmed off.

Most buttermilk sold is cultured, so it's not real buttermilk at all, rather it is cultured, much the same way Matney expalined.

Where do I get all this useless dairy knwledge? Living in a state with more cows than people helps
