What it is

Sweet buttermilk is the liquid remaining after butter is churned from cream. It is a fluid dairy product that is cultured and pasteurized. It has a tangy flavor and a thinner consistency than regular milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sweet buttermilk as a leavening agent in baked goods, adding a tender crumb and a slight tang. It also adds moisture and richness to products like biscuits, pancakes, and muffins. It can be found in some marinades and seasoning mixes for its flavor.

Health notes
