    What's the alternative to this? I have a book that stipulates it a lot, is it thick or thin? I have been using ordinary milk, but don't know if I'm missing something in terms of flavour?

    Thanks, Ness.

    Hi ness,

    There's an older thread that might help too so I've added your post to it to keep all the replies together.

    This thread might help too:

    I have started to use buttermilk for my scones and they certainly attract compliments these days

    Can't tell you how to make it but my Morrisons and Tescos both sell it near the yogurts/cream. Tesco is 55p per carton and Morrisons is 35p per carton but it's slightl smaller size than Tesco.

    Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

    Isn't buttermilk what you get left when you make butter from cream? If you read the threads about making butter it's mentioned there...I read one of these threads and was inspired to have a go and apart from a bit of rsi it was pretty satisfying.

    It is usually with the cream at the supermarket. Failing that substitute yogurt.

    Commercial buttermilk is a cultured dairy product and is not the same as the liquid left after making butter.

    You can add a bit of vinegar to milk. That will sour it , giving the buttermilk taste. I read that tip on HERE, somewhere, ages ago :D
