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.
You can also use this recipe with nondairy milks, however they will not curdle and thicken in the same way that dairy milks will, though they will still work in a recipe. The second option to substitute for buttermilk is to whisk together 1/2 cup of yogurt or sour cream with 1/2 cup of milk. If you only have Greek-style yogurt on hand, use 1/3 cup yogurt and 2/3 cup milk. This mixture may be slightly thicker than store bought buttermilk, but it has good acidity and a very similar flavor to buttermilk for baking.
