How to Make Homemade Buttermilk

How to Make Homemade Buttermilk

EQUIPMENT NEEDED

- a 1 quart mason jar

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

- Whole milk (store bought is fine, but don't use "ultra-pasteurized." Whole pasteurized and homogenized milk is fine, and so is whole raw milk.)

- 2 tablespoons of a previous made batch of buttermilk, or two tablespoons of store bought buttermilk (this is your starter)

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Put two tablespoons of store bought or homemade buttermilk into a 1 quart mason jar.

2. Then fill the mason jar up with whole milk.

3. Seal the jar, and shake it well.

4. Place the jar into a dark kitchen cupboard, and leave it there for 12-20 hours.

5. After 12-20 hours, shake the jar and place it into the fridge. After it has cooled in the fridge, you have official buttermilk.

It may end up being a lot thicker than store bought.

This will be used to make whole wheat pancakes..so stay tuned for that tomorrow.Have a great day with your family! God bless!
