Homemade Buttermilk Recipe
Our homemade buttermilk recipe is so easy to make that I make it all the time! Homemade buttermilk can be made with fresh milk or milk that has gone sour. It literally takes me two minutes to throw it together, let it sit overnight and then in the morning I have fresh homemade buttermilk for my pancakes.
- Yield: Makes 1 quart.
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
Instructions
- Mix ingredients together.
- Let sit out in a warm spot for 24 hours.
After that, you’ll have a fresh batch of homemade buttermilk! This works great. Save a half cup at the end so you can make a new batch of homemade buttermilk. It keeps going and going!
Notes
- You can use any kind of milk including dry milk, but regular milk works better than skim or dry milk.
- This recipe is a good way to use sour milk without throwing it away.
Homemade Buttermilk Dressing Recipe
Here’s an easy buttermilk dressing recipe that doubles as a creamy salad dressing or a flavorful party dip. With just two basic ingredients and a handful of seasonings, it’s quick and easy to whip up!
Ingredients
Seasonings:
chopped dill
parsley
chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients. You can adapt this to include the seasonings of your choice.
- Chill for 3 or more hours to let the flavors combine.
This is a great dressing for salads but if you want to make it into a dip, then just add more mayonnaise.
Notes
Foe seasonings, I love dill, onion and garlic powder and parsley. If I have some chopped chives will throw some of those in too.
