United StatesStart with a qt of whole milk buttermilk (we enjoy our local delivery from Longmont dairy - Colorado). Warm milk (86 deg F) and add one starter packet. Pour into thermos to keep temp steady for about 12 hrs. Then pour back into your qt milk container and refrigerate. We use it for salad dressing, baking/bread, and of course drinking fresh.
United StatesThis buttermilk culture works well and it gave me good results. I have really enjoyed doing business with this company. The website has very useful information on how to use their products and they answer emails promptly.
United StatesI love that this is so simple!
United StatesExcellent. Our pancakes are so good with this buttermilk
United StatesStore bought buttermilk that is available to me in Southern California tastes like chalk. It is all low fat. Not good. This starter makes buttermilk like I remember it. Very good and very easy to use. I suggest leaving it in for the entire 24 hours to get the good sour taste.
