How Do You Make Buttermilk Out Of Powdered Milk?
Buttermilk is a baking ingredient that isn’t stocked by all grocery stores. Powdered milk, on the other hand, is an inexpensive staple that is found just about anywhere that sells groceries. Boxed powdered milk, when stored in a cool, dry place, is extremely shelf-stable and can last for over a year (although you should always check the “use by” or “best by” dates on the package). By using a small amount of buttermilk as a starter, you can make cultured buttermilk out of powdered milk. Measure the buttermilk according to how much you’ll need. The mixture requires 1 part buttermilk to 8 parts reconstituted powdered milk. If you need 2 cups of buttermilk, measure ΒΌ cup of buttermilk. Reconstitute the powdered milk. Following the package instructions, reconstitute eight times the amount of buttermilk you measured. From the example above, you will reconstitute 2 cups of powdered milk. Combine the buttermilk and reconstituted powdered milk in the bowl or jar. Stir or shake to mix thoroughly
