Traditional Buttermilk – Traditional buttermilk can be made by using buttermilk as a byproduct. The ingredients you need to make it are:
Ingredients:
Heavy cream or Full-fat Milk
It is possible to culture buttermilk as a starter.
Instructions:
Pour in the heavy milk or cream.
In the jar add 1 to 2 tablespoons (or less) of cultured Buttermilk. This starter culture helps the milk ferment.
Be sure to gently stir in the buttermilk starter.
The jar can be covered with plastic wrap or a soft cloth. A rubber band, or lid will secure the container.
Letting the mixture ferment for up to 48 hours at room-temperature is recommended. The longer you ferment it, the tangier your buttermilk will get.
Refrigerate buttermilk if you want to stop fermentation.
