No. Buttermilk was originally simply what was left after churning cream into butter. It was very thin and not very appetizing. Nowadays, buttermilk is made with special cultures and emulsifiers, it is thick and creamy, and to some is very tasty.
The shortening can be replaced with butter of margarine. One can replace buttermilk with regular milk or you may add a teaspoon of vinegar to the milk which will make it curdle.
If you accidentally overheat buttermilk, it may curdle or separate. To salvage it, try whisking it vigorously to recombine the mixture. If it remains lumpy, you can strain it through a fine mesh sieve or use it in recipes where texture isn't critical, like pancakes or muffins. For future use, heat buttermilk gently and avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
why not it is same thing just not as fatty
Yes, you can use limes instead of lemons to make buttermilk. Both limes and lemons provide the acidity needed to curdle milk, resulting in a similar tangy flavor. Simply mix 1 tablespoon of lime juice with 1 cup of milk, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, and it will thicken and sour just like traditional buttermilk.
Yes, add one teaspoon of vinegar into one cup of milk; for instance, I use cider vinegar. Let the vinegar/milk mixture set for a couple minutes and milk will curdle a bit and become sour to give it the buttermilk taste needed in the recipe.
Yes, Camels milk does not curdle
Melt a tablespoon of real butter in a cup of milk. It isn't a perfect substitution, but it should work reasonably well.Clarification:Adding butter to milk as a substitue for buttermilk will not work. Contrary to its name, buttermilk has no butter in it; it is actually very low in fat. The best subtitution for buttermilk is a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to each cup of milk. Since buttermilk has a higher acid content than "sweet milk", the addition of an acid will result in a substitution extremely close to that of buttermilk.Simply add the lemon juice or vinegar and stir, then let stand a few minutes for the milk to "curdle", and it will look, taste and work pretty much the same as commercial buttermilk.
Bacteria in the milk can also cause it to curdle.
Vinegar will curdle cream or milk. If you need buttermilk for a cake recipe and have none, you can add a couple of teaspoons of white or cider vinegar per cup of milk, let it stand for about 15 minutes and it's ready to add to your batter.
Yes, soy milk can curdle when heated due to its protein content.
