Homemade Buttermilk

Cultural Context

Buttermilk is a fermented dairy product traditionally used in Southern cooking, particularly in recipes for pancakes, biscuits, and fried chicken. Homemade buttermilk is a quick and easy alternative to store-bought versions, often made by adding an acid to milk. This method reflects the resourcefulness of home cooks who adapt recipes based on available ingredients.
