- I love to use buttermilk in my cooking. In the past I would just add vinegar or lemon juice to milk and substitute it for the buttermilk, if I didn't have any buttermilk in the refrigerator. Just recently I've discovered something that I never knew...How to culture your own buttermilk and never run out of it again! Watch my video and see how easy and inexpensive it is to make your own cultured buttermilk!

Seventy years ago i was three years old, my grandparents took me on a road trip and we got caught up in a tornado. I remember a piglet flying past my grandpa's truck and my grandmother tucking me under the dashboard. The next memory was sitting on the bed in my grandpa's white tee shirt, i was freshly showered. My grandma was slowly and deliberately pouring out a glass for me and said this is buttermilk it will make you feel better. Ever since that exerience Grandpa, Gramma and comfort spell BUTTERMILK.🤗
How scary! Glad everything turned out well! Thanks for watching!
When I was a child buttermilk had little junks of butter in it. My grandpa loved it.
You must have churned your own butter! That is wonderful! Thanks for watching!
Hi Blue Rooster, I made a jar of Buttermilk, it WONDERFUL ❤️ Thank you So Very Much❤️🙏🏻 It’s So very expensive in the stores. I’m working on another several to gift to my daughter in law❤️
I'm so glad you love it! Happy gifting!😊
Thank you so much! I have skipped recipes that require buttermilk because I don't have it on hand. This is a game changer!
You are exactly right! I love having it on hand all the time and it is so much cheaper to make! Thanks for watching!
What you are making was in my grandparent's day was called Clabbered Milk. Buttermilk is a different process.
I was thinking the same thing but you could still use this version in baking.
love this u have a new subscriber
Thank you for watching and subscribing!!😊
As a kid we used to churn fresh cows milk to make butter . After you take the butter out you had buttermilk.
You're right! The sad thing is that it isn't the same as what is needed in todays recipes...they call for the cultured buttermilk. It reacts with the ingredients to give moisture and leavening.
Yes please butter milk and cornbread 🙏. Okay did this yesterday morning, I now have amazing buttermilk Thank You so much best tip I’ve had a very long time! Outstanding!
You are so welcome!!!
I'm in!! I once used buttermilk from the fridge that I had had at least two months. It was absolutely fine. Now I know why. I'm SO going to do this because I never have the stuff on hand unless I plan well ahead. And like you, I've never cared for the vinegar type. Nothing gives pancakes the texture like real buttermilk!
Yes, we always used expired buttermilk since I was young. It just had a stronger "wang" to it. I'm loving being able to make my own! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing ... I remember my grandmother always made her own buttermilk. I remember seeing the jars on the counter! lol Didn't know it was this easy, I'll be making my own from now own. Again, great tutorial and thanks for sharing. All the best!
Thanks for all the kind words! Making my own buttermilk has been a game changer for me! Thanks for watching!
I used to be hospitalized every year for asthma tat turned into bronchitis, that turned into pneumonia. Each stay was about 10" days.
My doctor told me to take one tablespoon of buttermilk and, daily, gargle with it for a few seconds. Since then I have reduced the asthma attacks to about one or two a ear from daily, and in 10 years hand ad only one bronchitis episode and no pneumonia or hospitalizations!
If you are lactose intolerant just do not swallow the buttermilk.
That's interesting, I've never heard of anything like that before. Thanks for watching!
Hope your insurance is good. I just paid $5k for 3 days dealing with a blood clot

Wow, can you make small payments?
@@JosieStev yes, they'll split it over 12 months.
@@JosieStev the good news is I've met my out of pocket maximum for the year
Game changer! Thank you so much for sharing. I don't need to keep going to the store. Thank you😊👋👋
I know, right! We use buttermilk all the time in our baking and having it on hand all the time is going to be great! Thanks for watching!
@BlueRoosterFarm I appreciate the information on the expiration of the buttermilk, l had no idea. I'll be giving this a try. Again, thank you. 😊 👋👋
Now that a great tip, Thank You 🙏
It's been a wonderful discovery for me, too! Thanks for watching!
My mother made the best buttermilk when I was a kid, but I didn’t know exactly how much buttermilk or milk were needed. So I was excited to find your video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I will be making lots more cornbread now! Didn't Make it cause no buttermilk usually.
It's so nice to always have it in the fridge. Thanks for watching!
It can be frozen in ice cubes trays. Then u can just take out what you need. You can then start a new batch the frozen cubes when your supply gets low
That is really good to know! Thanks so much for watching and the additional info!
With the price of buttermilk so high this is wonderful thank you
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
I always thought you could do that. I just never did it. Well now I don’t ever have to buy it again. Thank you and I’ve been cooking for over 50 years too. We always learn thankfully.
Thanks so much for watching!
I’m trying a batch today let’s see how it goes, one of the best tips ever given!
Good luck!!
Oh! I Agree 👍😊
I make buttermilk bread which is my daughter's favorite. Now I don't have to buy the buttermilk, just make sure I plan a day ahead. Milk isn't cheap but buying buttermilk is more expensive. T.u. for this
Thanks for commenting and watching! I keep two jars of buttermilk in the fridge...that way I always have plenty on hand. ☺️
Beautiful hair!
Thank you! That is so sweet of you to comment that! I've been blessed with very thick hair. Thanks for watching!
Isn't it though!!! Color, style, thickness, absolutely Gorgeous!
(😊 I'm a little green)
What I like about buttermilk is it so versatile you can use it in baking you can use it in salad dressings instead of mayonnaise. Cornbread oh my heavens... biscuits oh.... the culture of fermentation of the milk is good for your gut. People that are lactose intolerant that is why in some countries especially the mountain folk use yogurt is that it takes the lactose out of the milk and makes it digestible and I think buttermilk is more digestible.
Buttermilk is a wonderful thing! Thanks for watching!
I did not know you could do this! Thank you 😊
I know... I've cooked almost my entire life and didn't know this until a couple weeks ago. It is a game changer. I now keep at least two jars in the fridge all the time. It has worked better, than what I buy at the store, in my recipes. I guess that is because it is freshly made. Thanks so much for watching...I love your channel!🤗
I’ve tried this before and would make it regularly however I started making my own Kefir and it was too much making all these things so I now use my kefir in place of anything calling for buttermilk. Heat will destroy the good stuff in it however everything turns out amazing - light and fluffy and I usually find it adds a bit more flavour as well.
I use plain yogurt with a splash of milk to loosen it up
Thanks for commenting and watching!
You can make yogurt the same way using yogurt you buy at the store boil your milk put a couple of tablespoons of yogurt , cover and put in warm place leave overnight 😊
Sounds great!
Oh my heavens Karen I watched this then went straight to the kitchen and made it. I have been so frustrated with the store bought buttermilk it's been just like skim milk 😝 and taste and cook awful. I'm so excited to have my baked goods back to normal. Thank you for sharing I have fermented in the past don't know why I didn't think of this. Just subscribed
I'm so glad you found this video helpful! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
Thanks for this. I have always done the add
White Vinegar or Lemon juice. Because my Mom did and so did my Grandma. I think part of it may have to do with the Depression, World War II & rationing, or going camping up in the north Canadian woods. All places were you use things that
can cover several uses. I would like to use
it in homemade Ranch. So I can controller
what goes in to the jar. No extra stuff.😀🌹
Yes, that is what my mom and grandmother taught me, as well. I was so glad to learn about this. The thick consistency is what I love. Thanks for watching!
i did not know you can do that,,i love buttermilk..thank you soooo much
You are welcome 😊. Thanks for watching!
I did this and it good thanks for showing me this I'm going to make some butter with this recipe of your
You are so welcome
I’ve been doing this got years! I love it!
I was so excited to learn this! Thanks for watching!
How you can make fresh buttermilk is through churning or shaking in a jar heavy cream until it starts to separate into buttermilk and butter. It takes a little bit of time, but it's worth it.
Yes, you're correct and the butter is delicious, but fresh buttermilk is different from the store bought cultured buttermilk that we buy at the store. It doesn't have the "good bacteria" that reacts with recipe ingredients to make moist and tender baked goods. From what I've read, homemade buttermilk that is soured (fermented) may be closer to store bought buttermilk. I'm certainly no expert, but you can do your own research to see if the two are interchangeable in recipes. Thanks so much for watching!!
And since the store bought cream is pasturized, it will rot instead of ferment, or sour. if left at room temperature. Since most of us don't have access to unpasteurized milk, cultured buttermilk is the way to go. Same for sour cream, it's cultured instead of sour, or fermented.
Wonderful tip thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been looking for a recipe just for this. I dont like the buttermilk thats made with vinegar ir lemon juice or cream of tartar.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
That’s amazing!!! I had no idea!!!!Thank you
You are so welcome! I was excited to find this information, too!
Totally trying this❤
You're going to love it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks❤
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
I’m thinking that I can use store bought kefir using the same method. I’ve made it from kefir grains for years but you have to maintain those grains! (It is like having a toddler.) I think I will try this way with both buttermilk and kefir. The conglomeration of lactobacilli is very similar anyway. Why wouldn’t this method work for both?
I am certainly no expert, but you could try it. Have you researched on the web? I do know that the bacteria used in each of these products is different. If you try it, let me know if it works! Thanks for watching!
😅😂 I feel the same! I finally dried and froze my grains. I needed a break. I know you can do the same with yogurt and sour cream, so kefir seems reasonable.
Thank you so much for sharing, how to make your own buttermilk. - I have been making my own yogurt for years, using a very similar method (I could not begin to tell you, the last time I actually bought yogurt in the store) - I am anxious to try your buttermilk recipe!
I know that you mentioned that it smells and looks like buttermilk, but I do you think that it would be drinkable or how it would even taste?? (better yet, would it even be safe??)
- I confess, I am one of those weird people, who love drinking buttermilk! - I loved drinking fresh buttermilk from my Grandfather's farm, when I was a child and have loved it ever since. (plus, it does have some good health benefits)
Thank you again for the tutorial and I will do some research on if it is safe to drink.
GOD BLESS!!
Thank you so much for commenting. You are very wise to do your own research. I, too, did my research when I first heard you could inoculate milk with buttermilk to make your own. Everything that I've read makes me feel that it is completely safe to drink. It is very similar to making yogurt...the difference is the bacteria that is being used to culture the milk... Buttermilk uses Lactococcus lactis or Lactobacillus bulgaricus whereas yogurt uses lactobacillus bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus. Buttermilk bacterias are able to culture at room temperature. Yogurt cultures need a higher temperature to inoculate the milk and change it to yogurt. So, as long as you have healthy bacteria in your buttermilk and your milk is fresh your homemade buttermilk should be perfectly fine. If you want to purchase buttermilk culture instead of using cultured buttermilk there are many sources online to purchase small packets. Thanks for watching!!
Looks great! Will this work with plant-based milks as well? I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and BLV in dairy. Thanks so much for sharing
I don't think so, but do your own research to be sure. Thanks for watching!
You just made a claber!
You're right! Thanks for watching!
One thing I don't no if the buttermilk needs to be room temperature or cold
I rarely need buttermilk, so I don’t buy it, I use the milk + lemon juice + sour cream combo substitute, which works very well. While that “culture it yourself” method will doubtlessly work, I feel that with a rarely as I need buttermilk, I would be wasting a LOT of milk by making up a new jarful from time to time, and not needing to ever use most of it. I always have milk and sour cream, lemon juice and/or white vinegar on hand, so it’s much easier and far cheaper to just mix up only how much I need, just when I need it.
I agree, if you rarely use buttermilk, lemon juice in milk works just fine. As a person who does a lot of baking, it is wonderful to have cultured buttermilk always on hand. Thanks for watching! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!😊
My house is usually really cold. Can I put it in my dehydrator on 110° like I do with my yogurt
Buttermilk cultures best at temperatures between 68 and 78 degrees…a lot cooler than yogurt. So I wouldn’t put in the dehydrator. Maybe sit it close to the stove or on top of the fridge. Thanks for asking!😊
When I was a kid we made buttermilk in a turn what's cow's milk
After a day, I checked mine and it came out in one thick stream. Was it ready or does it need to sit longer?
I can tell mine is ready when there is a bit of separation at the top of the buttermilk. It appears to have water sitting on the top. If yours has thickened it should be good.
How do you makw butter?
Buttermilk is what they call this milk... it will not produce butter. Originally when making butter something similar to this was left when the butter was made from cream. If you want to make butter you need to use heavy cream and blend it until it forms into a clump of butter. Thanks for watching!
Make your own butter. What’s left over is buttermilk.
You're right! The cultured buttermilk we purchase at the store is different since it has a bacterial culture added. This is the kind of buttermilk called for in todays recipes.
For the sake of my curiosity, I wonder if after making butter, if I added that to milk, would it make thick buttermilk after fermenting as your recipe calls for. What do you think?
Would the culters still be "alive"?
I can do this with a food processor
Could powdered milk be used instead of fresh milk?
I'm not sure. You could try a very small amount like a fourth cup prepared powdered milk and add a tablespoon of buttermilk and let it set. If it thickens and smells like buttermilk after 24 hours, you'll know that it worked. Let me know your results, if you try it. Thanks for watching!
I've been told recently that kefir and buttermilk are interchangeable.
That's great! Thanks for watching!
I just wrote a comment about this! I stopped making buttermilk and use my homemade kefir in its place. Works amazing :)
@@kelleyleblanc5025what is Keifer? I never heard of it.
Can i water bath this to put on shelf
I don't think canning any dairy is USDA approved. It would probably kill the good bacteria, as well. Thanks for watching!
Is Kiefer buttermilk? Thank you
From what I understand, they are similar but a different bacteria is used to produce Kefir. Thanks for watching!
Seems to me that this is cultured milk, NOT buttermilk, which is a by-product of making butter. Where am I mistaken?
You are right! Cultured buttermilk is what today's recipes call for when buttermilk is an ingredient. Buttermilk from long ago, would be closer to cultured buttermilk because they would be using fresh cream (not pasteurized) and it would start to ferment as cream was collected over several days and it was left sitting at room temp. I'm not sure if the cultures would be the same or similar to what is used today. It's all very interesting. All I can say is this "homemade" cultured buttermilk is so easy to make and works beautifully in my baking>. Thanks for watching!
Yes but where did you get the buttermilk in there first place? This is soooo frustrating.
You need to start with store bought buttermilk or a packet of buttermilk culture (can be found online). Once you have your milk cultured you just keep using a portion of that to make more by adding milk. It's very easy. I do a lot of baking and cooking with buttermilk so I make it all the time, now, so that I don't run out. Thanks for watching!
And if we keep turning it would turn in to butter
Good to know but i am sure will never make it
Thanks for watching!
Butter is expensive
If the store-bought buttermilk has been pasteurized, this won't work. Pasteurization kills the organisms that do the fermenting.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The buttermilk I used to start my own buttermilk, had been pasteurized. I would think the milk is pasteurized and then the culture is added to the pasteurized milk.
long video. cladded Clabber milk.
Clabbered milk doesn't contain the buttermilk bacterial cultures found in cultured buttermilk so they are not the same. Both are good, though! Sorry the video wasn't to your liking.
so you're not showing anyone how to make the first batch of buttermilk.... not helpful to use the buttermilk you've already made for a "how 2 make your own buttermilk" video.
Sorry that this video wasn't helpful to you. As I say at the beginning of the video, you have to START your first batch with store bought buttermilk (or a packet of buttermilk culture) but after that you never have to purchase buttermilk again as long as you keep a little bit of your buttermilk as your "starter" to make a new batch. I love that I no longer have to buy buttermilk from the store and I can easily make buttermilk every couple of days to build up my supply! Thanks for watching!
