What is buttermilk?
Buttermilk is a fermented dairy drink. It is also acidic which can react with baking soda in certain recipes. Buttermilk has a signature tangy flavor that goes incredibly well with pastries like cakes, waffles, pancakes, and more. It can also be used to retain moisture and tenderize chicken and pork. It's commonly used in fried recipes and pastries like cakes, waffles, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, and more. I believe buttermilk is what gives waffles that “nostalgic” taste that you just can't put your finger on! But, buttermilk is a specialty item and can be harder to find at the grocery store, especially organic versions.
Organic Valley makes my favorite buttermilk you can buy, but we don't always have it available here in our small town. So, when I'm craving Homemade Buttermilk Waffles then I will make this Organic Buttermilk Recipe!
This simple recipe for homemade buttermilk only requires two ingredients. And, you probably already have these ingredients in your kitchen now! Buttermilk is an acidic milk, so all you need is whole milk and lemon juice to create your own homemade buttermilk at home! You can also use white vinegar in place of lemon juice, but I like the lemon juice better. You can use whichever you prefer.
