When I grow up daddy, I want to be a nudge just like you. It's a tough job being a nudge, but someone's gotta do it. I can't accept that bribe, I'm an honest nudge.
Buttermilk is also usually much lower in fat than regular milk and cream. Cultured buttermilk, as it is called in the United States these days, is a pasteurized milk product. A culture of lactic acid bacteria is added to low-fat milk to curdle and sour the milk. Many dairies also add tiny yellow colored flecks of butter to simulate, wellâ¦ buttermilk. Buttermilk is an important part of baking. The acidic milk combined with baking soda in a recipe is a bakerâs dream. Itâs helps add a lightness and tenderness to baked treats. When baking soda is combined with the lactic acids of buttermilk, the acid neutralizes the metallic taste of sodium carbonate.
Milk for dairy products and as human food is also obtained from camels, donkeys, sheep, yaks and goats. Milk is also sometimes homogenized to prevent the cream from separating from it and leaving a thinner residue. Buttermilk can also refer to fermented milk drinks particularly in countries with a warm climate. Whether buttermilk has been prepared by the traditional churning of milk or cultured, it has a tartness unlike milk due to the high lactic acid content produced by the bacteria during the fermenting process.
