money saving. What's more, buttermilk powder delivers a hearty
serving of protein, potassium and riboflavin.

Buttermilk powder is an awesome staple for preppers who bake
but don't want an expiring carton of buttermilk in the
refrigerator. Using buttermilk powder to give you the same
creamy goodness of the traditional stuff is easy and you don't
even need to reconstitute it. You can use powdered buttermilk
with the dry ingredients! Here's how to cook with buttermilk
powder (and even make soap from it)...

Cooking with Buttermilk Powder
Buttermilk is a basic by-product of butter making. During the
butter churning process what remains is more of a liquid. Not
wanting to waste any food, farmer’s wives quickly learned to
use this liquid goodness of buttermilk in their recipes. They
quickly learned that buttermilk was an excellent leavening
agent for baking.

While buttermilk is great to have in the fridge, it doesn’t last
very long, and you may not use it up before it expires. If you’ve
ever felt disappointed with this experience then buttermilk
powder is for you. Buttermilk powder is dried without lactic acid
or cultures added as in commercial buttermilk. This gives it long
shelf life.

Buttermilk powder is great to have around for baking biscuits,
bread or cakes, making pancakes or creating the most amazing
homemade ranch salad dressings. You can also make creme
fraiche if your recipe calls for it, and so much more. Buttermilk
powder provides flavor and texture unlike the use of regular
milk.

powder:

which requires that you also have cream of tartar.

#2: Cook up buttermilk pancakes and waffles.

recipes or mixes. To make buttermilk pancake mix follow

mixes you can also mix the powder into the water called for on
the box. What’s more, buttermilk powder is ideal for creating a

buttermilk, just replace the liquid for the powder and you’ll find
it’s thick enough to frost any cake.

#4: Add it to you coffee.
An interesting way to use buttermilk powder is with your
morning cup of Joe! Boost your morning cup of Joe with a little
added nutrition from buttermilk powder instead of a creamer.
Try making a vanilla creamer by adding real vanilla and a bit of
sugar with your buttermilk powder. This makes your coffee rich
and creamy as it adds a bit of nutrition. Buttermilk powder is a
good source of calcium and contains around 5 grams of protein
per serving!
