Saves Time, Money, and Guilt and throwing out unused store-bought buttermilk!
I decided to try powdered buttermilk, after repeatedly buying a quart of buttermilk for a recipe that calls for 1 cup, feeling guilty about the left over buttermilk wasting time trying to think of another use for it, and then pouring it down the drain several weeks later. Or going to the store and returning hours later to discover that I forgot to buy the buttermilk in the first place. I expect this to save time, money, and guilt in the long run.
I’ve been using it mainly for biscuits and waffles and haven’t noticed any appreciable difference in taste. It’s been great being able to simply open the cabinet and add the powder whenever I need it. In fact, I find myself making more things that call for buttermilk, and I’m nowhere near putting a dent in this giant container! I highly recommend it
As another review pointed out, it’s completely ridiculous to show the ratio for making 1 gallon of buttermilk on the instructions (3 cups powder + 3.75 quarts water = 1 gallon liquid buttermilk). Who’s making a gallon of buttermilk, and for what?! I’ve found adding between 3 to 4 tablespoons powder to 1 cup water works well.
