Calamity Kris Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I have some buttermilk I need to use before it spoils. I could make biscuits but I'm up for trying something a little different. I know we have a number of wonderful cooks here so please give me some ideas for the buttermilk. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/classic-southern-buttermilk-pie That's close to grannies recipe, although we sometimes used crushed Graham crackers mixed with butter for the crust.

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 It makes good ranch dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Pancakes, bread, as already suggested pie or dressing, soak chicken or pork chops in it before cooking them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Also, cornbread, mashed potatoes, you can find recipes for buttermilk soup or buttermilk ice cream. Cole slaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Mary Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Smothered Pork Chops Ingredients · 1 cup all-purpose flour · 2 tablespoons onion powder · 2 tablespoons garlic powder · 1 teaspoon cayenne · 1 teaspoon salt · ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper · 4 pork chops, ¾ inch thick, bone-in · ¼ cup olive oil · 1 cup chicken broth · ½ cup buttermilk Directions Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess. Heat a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper before serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Back when I fried chicken (too messy) and made pancakes I'd use it for that (only good with wheat flour and Hubby is allergic to gluten). Now, I only use it to make Mexican Crema for Mexican Lasagna (rice noodles, of course). As it only used 2T for 16 oz. heavy cream. I chug the rest straight.

Pat Riot Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I love butter and I like milk, but I do not like buttermilk. In a recipe buttermilk is okay By itself, it can just go away. Ranch dressing for salad is divine, Pancakes with syrup taste just fine. Buttermilk biscuits are delicious, and I think they are very nutritious. Some others, like doctors, may disagree but that really does not bother me. Buttermilk makes recipes delectable. By itself, I find it detestable. I do not like buttermilk, it tastes funny. I would not drink it, not even for money. If you like buttermilk, drink and enjoy. I’ll not stop you or be a killjoy. But if forced upon me I will not think, I’ll react very forcefully and will not drink. Buttermilk is unique and has it’s place, in many recipes that I like to embrace. So use buttermilk and use it with glee To make tasty treats and share them with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks for the recipes and suggestions. I appreciate it. Love the poem, Pat!! I have to get some ingredients before I can do anything. I won't be able to make a trip to the store until tomorrow after work. I'm thinking about making a slowcooker dish and making biscuits to go with it. I also like the pork chop idea. I'll run these by Uno and see what he thinks. Thanks again.

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 If you live in a desert how do you know if you're having a drought? And how can you tell if buttermilk is spoiled? I thought it came that way. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
