Buttermilk??
Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Buttermilk??
I was at the store yesterday and picked up a 1/2 gallon of milk. I got home and started making dinner. The recipe called for 2 Tbls. of milk. So I started pouring the 2 tbls. in and thought to myself "why is this milk so...thick?" I checked the label, it's Buttermilk! They really should make it more obvious that it's buttermilk, the label looked exactly the same as normal milk.
So now I have this 1/2 gallon of Buttermilk and have no clue what to do with it. I've never used it before.
Does anyone use buttermilk? Do you have any good recipes that I could us it in?
TIA
Buttermilk pancakes or biscuits.

a lot of muffin recipes call for buttermilk.
soak boneless chicken breasts in buttermilk. While it is soaking mix a few cups of bisquick with two packets of hidden valley ranch dressing powder and a few cups of finely crushed corn flakes. Roll the soaked chicken breasts in this mixture. Coat it well. Place in a pan that you have greased with butter. Bake at 375 till it's done, about an hour.
My son, who is so picky about what he can and cannot eat (he has asperger's) loves this recipe. The chicken is so tender that he has no problem at all chewing it.
I second and third the fried chicken after soaking in buttermilk. I use flour, salt and garlic powder in mine though.
Use it in cornbread instead of whole milk.
Drink it. I don't like it but my dh gets so excited when I bring it in. He'll down a glass in a heart beat.
My parents crumbled cornbread in their buttermilk and ate it like cereal. That still grosses me out.
eew the crumbled cornbread in buttermilk sounds gross to me too.
Everything else sounds good. I knew I could count on you ladies!
Thanks!
