Ingredients
- Buttermilk (as fresh as possible*)
Instructions
- Pour the buttermilk into a storage container, leaving at least 1/2 inch of headspace in the container to allow for expansion during freezing. Or, you can freeze it into smaller portions in a silicon freezer tray.
- Seal the container tightly and label it with the date. Place it in the freezer. Freeze for up to 1 month for best results, or up to 3 months.
- To defrost the buttermilk, place it in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours (or you can place the container in a bowl of lukewarm water). Stir the buttermilk to re-integrate the texture; it should work for use in most recipes. Once thawed, use within 3 days.
Notes
*It’s best to start with buttermilk that is as fresh as possible (don’t freeze milk that’s past its expiration date).
