Saco Cultured Buttermilk for Cooking and Baking, Powdered, 12 oz

Many of my bread recipes call for buttermilk, but it's not my choice of casual drink. I tried this powder and tasted it after mixing it in water; it's pretty good. I've found that warming the water and using a corded hand held mixer gives the best results, though one would argue that it might not make much difference in the dough. My breads, with this in them, taste better and have a softer, firmer texture. For some reason, not available locally. I might try them in doughnuts.

I’ve used this product to make buttermilk bread in a bread machine for over ten years. It’s also good for other recipes. And you can use it when you want to soak chicken in buttermilk before cooking. The container I received yesterday smelled strongly of chemicals from being shipped with non-food items which reeked of chemicals. It’s likely that the chemicals off-gassed during shipping and transferred to my food items in the same box. I might have to throw this container away because it’s cardboard and it can’t be washed thoroughly to get the chemical odor off. But I will continue to purchase and use this product because it’s so handy. And it can be stored for awhile in the fridge. It’s cheaper than having to buy fresh buttermilk on a regular basis.

Pantry staple in our house as we love to use buttermilk but it can sometimes be a pain to remember to pick it up for a special treat or use it all in time when fresh. Currently using for bread maker buttermilk bread and I can't tell the difference between this powder mix and fresh buttermilk.

as expected

This product has been around forever and has never failed me. It is a combination of buttermilk solids, whey, and lactic acid. I use it for baking so I don't know how it would perform if you just want a glass of buttermilk.

I have had a hard time finding this buttermilk in stores. The price was great. This product is great to have when you need some buttermilk, but don't buy the fresh stuff.

this is a very good product.

If you can’t get real butter milk. This is awesome to have one hand. Works the same as buttermilk in the fridge
