  • damn, I have to walk all the way out the city, just to get some raw milk, and buy buttermilk, to get buttermilk to make buttermilk....

  • This is good if you are getting low on buttermilk and need to make more, especially if youre not going out to the store anytime soon. You can also make buttermilk by adding 1 Tbsp. of white vinegar to 1 cup of milk...and let sit for 5 min.. this is useful to use in a recipe, when buttermilk is called for..and you dont have any in the fridge!

  • this is fine and dandy if you are going to be using buttermilk forever but if i needed buttermilk for 1 recipe and didnt have buttermilk on hand....this video would be useless.

    for everyone saying "lol...buttermilk to make buttermilk" this is a seeding method. its like bakers using a premade yeast loaf that they add to the main bread loaf....its just keeps recycling

  • That is really dumb if you asked me why buy buttermilk from a store then make buttermilk from regular milk?

  • I made some of this yesterday, but although it smelled like buttermilk, it had the consistency of thin yogurt and a sweet taste to it. Any thoughts?

  • Christ, just do it this way: Buy some fresh heavy cream and let it sit for about 12 hours - maybe a little longer at room temperature. It will begin to sour - which is what you want. Then whip the cream until the butter comes. What's left is a chunk of butter and some nice, tangy buttermilk. Yes, it's more trouble than it's worth, but at least you have some fresh butter AND real buttermilk. Fuck buying buttermilk and raw milk to make buttermilk. Silly...

  • Ummm...using buttermilk to make buttermilk? Lol defeats the purpose of making homemade buttermilk if you don't have it on hand doesn't it?

  • Thank you for posting this video, I was just trying to decide if I should buy a culture on line, but this works for my needs.

  • If you "dont get this" its because you dont understand culturing.

  • or you can simply mix a cup of mil and a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice!

  • Can you use the homemade buttermilk to make more or do you have ot use the commercial once you have homemade already?

  • @ForexStrategySecrets Homemade is fine. In some cases, It's cheaper to buy commercial buttermilk to produce more (homemade) more buttermilk then to produce homemade buttermilk from scratch. Especially if you have no cattle.

  • I was going to ask the same thing. If you bought buttermilk, why make buttermilk? Is it the culturing? I get the creme fraiche recipe, because it's different. Explain please!

  • hmmmm

  • why make buttermilk if you just bought buttermilk? lol

  • @paydn202 To make more and use it for other dairy products. Homemade is healthier anyways.

  • @paydn202 The same reason you buy yogurt to make yogurt... you use it as a starter so once you buy that first bottle you never have to buy buttermilk ever again you just take 1 tbs. out of the last batch and make more!

  • @paydn202 I guess it's more about making your buttermilk stretch. lol I know you can also make buttermilk by just mixing milk and lemon juice together, although I don't remember how much of which.

  • @Ballira Nah, lemon juice + milk = lemon juice in milk. It approximates the tangy taste, but that's about it. Also, no, this is not about stretching your buttermilk. It's not just diluting your buttermilk with milk. It's about creating new buttermilk from normal milk. It's about making your buttermilk last forever, for the price of just plain milk.

  • @paydn202 Because then you don't have to buy it ever again after that. Just buy milk, which is cheaper, and use your own buttermilk to make more buttermilk!

  • umm commercial butter milk?

  • But I live in an area where it's illegal to sell raw milk...

  • I dont get it. In order to make buttermilk at home I need to buy buttermilk at the store?

  • Because she used un-pasteurized milk it is healthy than store bought buttermilk... I think. haha

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum That's what I was thinking too...did you get an answer?

  • @29render No. No answer yet. Apparently some people are perfectly comfortable with paradoxes.

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum Try 1 tea sp of white vinegar per cup of milk, and then just cover it in the fridge...works pretty good! Or just buy the buttermilk; it's faster anyway. Thanks for the follow up!

  • @29render Or buy high fat cream, agitate until you get butter and what is left is real buttermilk.

  • @TheCFTube Thanks for the tip!

  • @29render Got that buttermilk answer... See ShinobiShindou's answer

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum

    Yes, you need the bacteria that, I guess ferment is the most applicable word here not perfect but close, ferments the milk into what is called buttermilk. Usually things that need a starter are somewhat hard to make wholly on your own. Such as sourdough, most people don't want to go to the trouble of growing and nurturing a starter on their own so they get a premade grown starter. Same deal here, you use the store bought for its cultures only.

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum

    i lmao at your comment. i was thinking exactly the same thing.

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum You can, You don't have to. Buttermilk can be made with many dairy-based products.

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum probably so that when u have some buttermilk to start it, u wont need any more later on because ull have the buttermilk u made to start the next batch, if that made any sense

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum , That is kind of like saying " I don't get it. In order to grow real carrots I have to go BUY carrot seeds? IF I'm going to buy seeds why not the whole bag of carrots?"

    Here's why: Cultures are a live organism, not a solution that can be created by mixing shelf ingredients. So in effect you are buying buttermilk-culture-seeds to grow more buttermilk as needed without paying $5 per quart. You pay $5 once. EVER.

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum Yep. But then you don't need to buy it anymore. You can use the stuff you made to make the subsequent batches.

  • @CogitoErgoCogitoSum the enzymes in it help it turn into buttermilk.

  • Hi, what is the difference between buttermilk and yogurt? thank you
