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.
Today, this is called traditional buttermilk. Buttermilk also refers to cultured buttermilk, a product where lactic acid bacteria have been added to milk.[1] Whether traditional or cultured, the tartness of buttermilk is due to the presence of acid in the milk.
