A » Buttermilk is traditionally produced as a byproduct of churning butter from cream, where the liquid left after butter is formed is the buttermilk. Commercially, it is made by fermenting skim milk with lactic acid bacteria, creating a tangy flavor and thicker consistency. This cultured buttermilk is commonly used in cooking and baking for its acidity and ability to tenderize ingredients, resulting in lighter and fluffier baked goods.
