About Buttermilk
Gently shake or stir separated buttermilk before measuring. Let foam settle, then read a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface at eye level. Follow the recipe's requested temperature when combining with butter.
Cultured buttermilk contributes acidity as well as liquid. Plain milk is not automatically equivalent in a baking-soda recipe. If a recipe provides an acidified-milk alternative, make it to the stated final volume rather than adding acid to an already full cup.
Tips for measuring Buttermilk
- Mix separated liquid back together before portioning.
- Keep recipe substitutions tied to their own liquid and leavener amounts.
Common mistakes
- Switching buttermilk and plain milk without considering the leavening system.
