Ah, Buttermilk. One (yes, I said one) of the ultimate baking besties. But let's be real, have you ever prepped all the ingredients for a delicious stack of pancakes or craved your homemade ranch only to find buttermilk in the fridge past its expiration date or, worse, none?
Fret no more! I got you!
Today, we will tackle one of the easiest methods to freeze buttermilk. Yes, there are many methods but I find this way easier, simpler, and straightforward. Being a busy mom this is what I need.
Supplies Needed:
Buttermilk (of course)
Measuring Cup (desire amount to freeze)
Labeled Sandwich Bag
Before Freezing:
*check the expiration date
*mix the buttermilk well to ensure the liquid and solid components are well combined (give the jug a few shakes)
STEP 1: LABEL SANDWICH BAGS
BUTTERMILK------> write the contents that are inside the bag
1 CUP------> write the desired amount to freeze
6/10/24------> write the date being stored
STEP 2: MEASURE & POUR BUTTERMILK
pour the desired amount to freeze in the measuring cup and pour it inside the labeled bag
tip: only freeze your go-to amount-- don't exceed what you would normally use in a recipe- the goal is to freeze one recipe worth of buttermilk in one bag
STEP 3: SEAL & STORE
seal and make sure all air is out of the bag
tip: when storing, it is best to freeze flat for storage space and quick thawing
Tips:
*use within 3 months for optimal quality and flavor
*thaw in the fridge overnight, at room temp for a few hours, or submerge in cold water
Uses:
*can be used in baked goods or waffles and pancakes as is
And there you have it- an easy way to freeze buttermilk to save money and freezer space! You'll be well on your way to becoming the ultimate dairy hoarder (just kidding)
Homemade Buttermilk Recipe:
1 cup milk of choice
