Sometimes a baking recipe will call for a small amount of buttermilk. Not only do I never have that on hand, I don't feel like spending $4 or more on a carton when all I need is 1 cup. I found this nifty tip in one of my cookbooks years ago and haven't bought buttermilk since. I can't taste the difference with the end results, either. Tastes just as good!

Earlier in the week, I wanted to make some biscuits but noticed I was out of buttermilk, and didn't want to go to the store. I had an old buttermilk container in the fridge and decided I'd make my own.
Though many people have an aversion to buttermilk, this tasty, cultured dairy staple has a place in every frugal household.
