Can you make cheese using powdered buttermilk?

Answer 1

You can make whipped cream from whipping cream. Besides have you smelled buttermilk?? Who would want to eat that on top of dessert?? Hi - you can make it from buttermilk but you also have to add heavy whipping cream, buttermilk is not stable enough on it's own to whip... if the smell were to bother you add a drop of vanilla of any edible essential oil, like lavender or rose... try this - 3/4 cup Whisk cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until peaks form. Refrigerate for approx an hour.

Answer 2

Add water and mix until it terns in to a liquid then leave to harden and there u have it, a lump of butter! :)

You can just buy buttermilk powder. Buttermilk is a produced when making butter, so dairy companies process it into buttermilk powder, the same as standard milk powder.

Answer 3

Powdered buttermilk is rarely easy to use. Try mixing with milk and slowly heating. I've found if the chunks are not ground to a complete powder in a mortar and pestle you'll never get the chunks to dissolve. If you try a sifter be aware it may cake in the holes of your sifter making it a complete joy to clean.

Another alternative I recently read and found to work well is essentially to make your own buttermilk by adding an acid to whole milk or cream base and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes after mixing. I believe the ratio was 1Tblspn to 1cup of milk product. I've used lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for this and it seems to work great.

Answer 4

The powder does not have the water content, it is an amorphous solid. The regular buttermilk is a liquid. They should have the same nutritional value when the powder version is reconstituted.
