Did you know
…that buttermilk is produced by adding live cultures to low-fat milk? This thickens the milk and gives it a pleasant creamy, tangy flavour. Buttermilk is a useful ingredient in baking, particularly in scones and muffins.

Tasty and super easy to make... Loved it! Substituted buttermilk for Soy milk with 1 & 1/2 tbs of lemon juice to make it dairy free. - 04 May 2014
