I searched fruitlessly for buttermilk today. Since it is Thankgiving some grocery stores were closed as was WalMart, but 3 were open. Wondering why such a basic baking commodity was off the shelves here, I googled a bit and found that a local supplier had closed 7 locations but I also found this video jewel and thought it was interesting. I ordered some of the starter. I look forward to its arrival.
On my part I think I was a sweet kid and a sour adult, taste wise anyway. It grew on me over the years. I can remember Mother at her family farm enjoying buttermilk, cornbread and onions.
There was a time….. There’s nothing better than butter milk biscuits or sourdough anything Fermentation of foods is making a comeback in my household but only for veggies. Unfortunately our household doesn’t consume enough to maintain healthy cultures for bread or milk products. I really miss sour milk butter. What a treat it was.
