Then gently stir the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes. If you don't have vinegar, lemon juice and cream of tarter also work as great buttermilk substitutions.

Separation in buttermilk syrup can happen when the ingredients are at different temperatures or because it wasn't mixed enough. The syrup might split into layers with fat (from the butter) floating on top and a sugary base below.

It's made up of water, milk proteins, milk sugars (lactose) and a small amount of fat (about as much as low-fat milk). When butter was made at home, the buttermilk was left out overnight to ferment and thicken on its own.

There are two things commonly called buttermilk: One is the liquid byproduct of butter churning, while the other is a fermented liquid made from skim or whole milk. Cultured buttermilk is what you will usually find on grocery store shelves.

Guidelines from agricultural programs at various universities recommend consuming buttermilk within three weeks of the date stamped on the package. In the test kitchen, we've found that buttermilk won't turn truly bad (signified by mold growth) until at least three weeks after opening.

How Long Does Buttermilk Last? Your buttermilk is likely expired if it's thick or chunky, smells sour or tangy, has dark colorations or mold in it, or if it's been at room temperature for more than two hours. Buttermilk can keep 2-3 weeks in the fridge and up to 1 week past its expiration date.

This is the same reason why honey never expires; bacteria have a hard time growing in these high-sugar, low-moisture environments. But one difference between honey and syrup is that syrup can get moldy after the container's been opened. This is because it has been exposed to mold spores in the air.

You can make homemade buttermilk with 1 cup of milk and 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Simply stir the two ingredients together and let them sit for 5 minutes. The milk will react with the acidity of the vinegar and curdle slightly, creating the same, tangy, creaminess of store bought buttermilk!

Yes, you can substitute sour cream! Thin it with milk or water to get the right consistency. For each cup of buttermilk needed, use 3/4 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup liquid. Editor's Tip: Sour cream has a higher fat content, so this will result in richer-tasting foods.

Add in your vanilla and baking soda and watch the magic happen! Your syrup will start to bubble up--this is the baking soda reacting with the acid in the buttermilk and brown sugar. The reaction between the acid and the baking soda creates tiny carbon dioxide bubbles giving you that soft caramely syrup.

The more glucose and fructose sugars in the boiling sap and the longer the sap boils, the darker the syrup will be. Sap with lower pH also breaks down sucrose, resulting in more glucose and fructose. Furthermore, the concentration of sugar in sap influences boiling time.

So, what is buttermilk? Traditionally, buttermilk was the fermented liquid leftover after churning cream into butter. These days, store-bought buttermilk is typically made from milk with added lactic bacteria, which produce lactic acid.

Aunt Jemima: cloyingly sweet corn syrup with some artificial flavor added. Mrs. Butterworth: cloyingly sweet corn syrup with a little molasses added in addition to flavoring to make it taste vaguely buttery.

Cow's milk is a fresh dairy product. Buttermilk is a fermented liquid that's created by culturing and fermenting milk products or by straining off the liquid that results from churning butter.
