29 FANTASTIC FUN IDEAS AND HACKS

Buttermilk is one of those versatile all-purpose ingredients that we should all use more often than we do. I try to keep a gallon of cultured buttermilk in my fridge at all times and it’s rare that I throw away a partial carton—I find every use for every last drop. I can easily add it to brine for fried chicken and pork chops but I mainly use it in muffins cakes biscuits scones bread and of course pancakes and waffles. Its rich thick texture won’t dilute batter and its acidity tenderizes the flavor of whatever I’m making adding a subtle tang that balances the sweetness. These nine recipes for buttermilk desserts might just inspire you to keep a carton of the cultured stuff around…and actually use it up.
