What it is
A buttermilk biscuit is a type of quick bread, meaning it uses a chemical leavening agent rather than yeast. It is made with flour, leavening (like baking powder or baking soda), fat (like butter or shortening), salt, and buttermilk, which gives it a slightly tangy flavor and tender crumb.
Why it's used
Buttermilk is used in baking for its tenderizing effect on gluten and its tangy flavor, which reacts with leavening agents to create a lighter texture. It's a key ingredient in biscuits, pancakes, and some cakes, contributing moisture and a characteristic taste.
Health notes
Buttermilk is a dairy product and a source of calcium and protein. The FDA considers buttermilk to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated buttermilk and its components. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Buttermilk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless the flour used in the recipe is not gluten-free.
