BUTTERMILK POWDER 14 OZ - 14 oz

The Many Uses of Buttermilk Powder

Most professional bakers will tell you that buttermilk is a necessity for any kitchen. It's acidic and reacts with alkaline baking soda to create carbon dioxide bubbles, which gives baked goods that signature light and fluffy texture. NOW Real Food® Buttermilk Powder is superior to the liquid form since it has a long shelf life and doesn't require refrigeration. Buttermilk is an excellent source of protein and calcium.

But what exactly is buttermilk powder?

Buttermilk powder is simply dehydrated buttermilk. It's made by removing the water from pasteurized buttermilk using a spray drying process, which leaves behind a fine powder.

Buttermilk powder has a number of advantages over liquid buttermilk. For one, it has a much longer shelf life—up to 18 months when stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This makes it a great option for those who don't use buttermilk frequently or don't have easy access to a grocery store. Additionally, because buttermilk powder doesn't require refrigeration, it's perfect for taking on camping trips or other outdoor adventures.

How to Use Buttermilk Powder

Buttermilk powder can be used in any recipe that calls for liquid buttermilk. Simply add ¼ cup of water for every 1 cup of buttermilk called for in the recipe. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of liquid buttermilk, you would use ¼ cup of water and ¾ cup of buttermilk powder.

One thing to keep in mind is that because buttermilk powder is more concentrated than liquid buttermilk, it can sometimes cause baked goods to brown more quickly. To counteract this effect, you can either reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit or bake the goods for a shorter amount of time.

In Summary:

Buttermilk powder is a versatile ingredient that every baker should have in their pantry. It's easy to use and has a long shelf life, making it perfect for those who don't use buttermilk often or don't have easy access to a grocery store. Give it a try in your next baking project!

Suggested Usage: To make buttermilk pancakes, follow directions on any pancake mix and substitute reconstituted buttermilk liquid for milk in the recipe.

To reconstitute into buttermilk, blend 1/4 cup of powder into an 8 oz. glass of water.
