What do you make with buttermilk? I was craving my mother-in-laws buttermilk syrup, so I finally decided to give it a try. The only buttermilk option I had at the store was a half gallon and only used one cup for the recipe. I am also going to attempt to make buttermilk biscuits tonight for dinner. Since I have never used buttermilk before today I am looking for ways to use up the rest of this half gallon. I do not like the taste, so I won't drink it. What other ways can I use this buttermilk before it goes bad?

I mostly have buttermilk powder so I can have it anytime. I use it in baking just about any thing that uses milk: biscuits, cornbread, cakes, dumplings, etc. Just decrease the baking powder by ½ teaspoon and add ½ teaspoon baking soda.
I have never heard of buttermilk syrup. What do you do with it?

When frying chicken you can dip the chicken in buttermilk before putting it in flour. Some people marinate the chicken in buttermilk up to 30 minutes. Tenderizes the chicken and adds flavor.

Judith, I was considering getting powder in the future so I don't have to worry about using it all before it goes bad. We use buttermilk syrup on pancakes and waffles. It is so yummy!
Thanks Sara. I may give this one a try. We are not big into frying chicken, but it's worth trying.

Some cake and cookie recipes call for buttermilk as do some types of breads. I made a pound cake this afternoon with buttermilk. I didn't buy the buttermilk, I just added a tablespoon of white vinegar to a cup of milk, whisked them together, then let it sit for 10 minutes. It works just fine. I've also used buttermilk for fried chicken and pancakes. Have fun finding recipes to use up the recipe of your buttermilk.

When I read your title before I clicked here my answer was "nothing!" LOL! Usually when I come across a recipe for buttermilk I just use my raw milk - for the same reason as you, I would never use it all if I bought some. And since I rarely use it there's no reason to culture my own. I had a thought though and checked - maybe try these: https://bakingitbeautiful.com/grandmas-buttermilk-cookies/

Thanks for the ideas Dawn.
Karen, sounds like I just need to get some powder!
Heather, thanks for the link. I will check it out.
On Wednesday I decided to make Auntie MaryJane's cast iron buttermilk biscuits! They were delicious! They didn't look the prettiest because my cookie cutter wasn't deep enough lol but they still tasted amazing! I will be making another batch again tomorrow.

Krista they look delicious! I think your buttermilk will be gone in no time. It does keep a long time.

Judith, I made my second batch last night. They don't seem to last very long in my house lol. I guess I will have to start making a double batch. I also don't have very much buttermilk left over either, so I agree with you.

Yes, biscuits and pancakes are great ways I enjoy using buttermilk. The buttermilk makes everything tender and flaky for me.
Krista, your buttermilk biscuits turned out great and look so delicious! Yum!

Pumpkin Waffles with Maple-Walnut Syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
pinch ground cloves
1 large egg
1 large egg-white
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, well shaken
3/4 cup mashed pumpkin
14/ cup dark brown sugar
1/2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1/2 tsp butter, melted
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
Preheat oven to 400F. Combine the first 7 ingredients (through cloves) in a large bowl. Whisk together the next 6 ingredients (through oil) in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; add wet mixture. Stir just until moist. Preheat waffle iron and coat in cooking spray or melted butter. Add about 1/2 cup batter, and spread to the edges; cook until the steaming stops. Repeat with remaining batter, setting waffles aside until all are cooked. Place on baking sheets in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp.
Melt butter in saucepan over medium-low heat. Add walnuts; saute 3 minutes or until lightly toasted. Add the maple syrup; simmer 2 minutes. Dust waffles with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with warm syrup.
