    Why Buttermilk Powder? Well, if you have buttermilk powder, you can mix it with water to get buttermilk…
    Question: Have you ever tasted buttermilk powder dissolved in water?
    I do not know what that stuff is, but is sure does not taste like buttermilk to me. However, when you add a bit to this recipe, it really gives the buttermilk a deep rich flavor; almost as if you are drinking fresh cultured buttermilk.
    Not all buttermilk powders are created equal. This is the brand, I have been using for years:

    If I have a choice between the vinegar and lemon juice, I think the freshly-squeezed lemon juice, wins out.

    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5
    Pour the milk into a container, and let it sit on the countertop for about 15 minutes, just to take the chill off.
  • 6
    Add the buttermilk powder, whisk to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • 7
    Add the vinegar, or lemon juice, and let stand an additional 10 minutes.

    Whisk to combine, and place in the fridge until needed.
