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.

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.Baron Greenback wrote: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?
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
