Heather, from My Overflowing Cup, shares how she was inspired by the Heavenly Homemakers site to make her own buttermilk.
Here’s a snippet of a post on her blog:
I use a lot of buttermilk! While I don’t drink it, it’s my favorite milk for all baked products. I use it for pancakes, waffles, muffins, scones, cakes, etc. I also use it in my Buttery, Caramel-ly Pancake Sauce.
If I were to buy buttermilk from the store and use it in my recipes, as is, it would not be a very frugal option for my family. However, I have found a buttermilk hack!
I was inspired by Laura at Heavenly Homemakers. She makes her own buttermilk using raw milk and a starter culture. You can read how she does it by clicking here. She will also show you how to make keifer and sour cream.

I can’t decide what I love most: The fact that Heather and her family are enjoying the health benefits of making homemade buttermilk – or that she is saving money doing this. Maybe I’ll just love both. :)
Keep in mind, since we’re all totally inspired to eat lots of salads now, homemade buttermilk makes a mean homemade ranch dressing. What a great way to hit the restart button!

You can fake buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. I’ve used that in baked goods and it seems to work well, although I’m not sure it would taste right in things where the buttermilk flavor is important.
