The Magic of Buttermilk

Buttermilk is an ingredient I love to cook with. It makes the most excellent biscuits and cakes It’s extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes from dressings to marinades. It has a distinct tangy flavor adding richness to every dish. It’s thick, rich texture adds moisture and volume. It’s definitely an ingredient you’ll want to have around. But sometimes you want something with buttermilk and you don’t have any. I hate that. But there is a quick fix for that. You’ll never be without buttermilk with this quick trick.

Substituting for Buttermilk: Mix 1 cup of milk (whole or 2%) with 1 Tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 min. Once it starts to curdle stir it up and use it as you would buttermilk. Super simple, right?! This will work for any recipe that calls for buttermilk. Now you’ll always have it when you need it. Why Does it Foam? So this is a bit scientific but hear me out, it’s kind of fascinating. Buttermilk is very acidic, the acid is what makes it taste tangy and bitter. Baking Soda is a base, it’ll neutralize the acid in the buttermilk. Mixing the baking soda into the buttermilk causes a chemical reaction that reduces that bitter tang. As a result carbon dioxide bubbles form and it foams. This is why you need a pot bigger than you think you’ll need. You may notice that in many of your buttermilk recipes you’ll add baking soda to it. This is so it’ll create that wonderful chemical reaction which is what creates your tender biscuits and fluffy pancakes. This is another reason you don’t to over mix buttermilk once you add the soda, it’ll kill the bubbles. So now you know!

Tips and Variations

Buttermilk Syrup can be played with and it’ll still taste amazing. It’s such a fun syrup to use and even more fun to eat. You’ll want to make pancakes or waffles for every meal, just so you can pour this decadent syrup over the top. Your kids will fight over licking the bowl. Serve this syrup and you will be the hero of the morning! It’s just so delicious!

Caramel Version:  To get more of a caramel version add two tablespoons of Karo Syrup with the buttermilk and let it cook to a nice golden color. Then you may remove from heat and add the vanilla and baking soda. Spice it up: Add spice to your syrup when you add the buttermilk. For example half of a teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin spice. This will give it an original flavor. Flavor: You can use a different flavored extract to give it a unique taste. For example, coconut or almond flavoring works great. So delicious! What Else Can You Serve This On: This is quite an exquisite syrup and it can go on just about anything you want to. Serve it over ice cream, cakes, cinnamon rolls, crepes , etc. Double it: You can make a double batch and save the leftovers, if you have them. It’s a great recipe to double. Just remember you need a larger pot than you think you’ll need because it will foam up. You don’t want it to make a mess all over.

Storing Your Syrup

If you have leftovers this keeps really well in the fridge. Place leftovers in a jar or airtight container. It will keep for up to 2 weeks. You might want to warm it up before serving it. Microwave the syrup in 30 sec intervals to prevent burning.
