Albert, you're killing me. My wife's grandmother used to make buttermilk ice cream. I used to help her crank the ice cream machine.

Another use for underappreciated buttermilk.

Another use for underappreciated buttermilk.

I think modern people hear the word butter and they automatically think it's probably bad for you. While there's more fat in buttermilk than regular milk, it's not something you would use often, so it's no harm. That and I think people shy away from 'old school' ingredients.

Have always liked buttermilk. My Granny made some of the best. There is reduced fat buttermilk now. Nothing like buttermilk biscuits and buttermilk pie.

It is a must for fried chicken.
