When I made butter not long ago, I was left with a quart of buttermilk and I was looking around for ways to use it up.

The buttermilk you get from making butter is a lot different from the buttermilk you purchase at the store.  Store bought buttermilk is usually cultured so it has that tangy sort of smell to it and has a much thicker texture to it.

The buttermilk that is leftover from making butter is a lot smoother, creamier, and has a soft sweet butter tast to it.  It’s not tangy at all and is in fact, very pleasant.

I was excited to cook with it! Take a look at all that I made!
