Buttermilk Substitute
What my grandmother called buttermilk and what we can now buy at the grocery store are two very different things. In Gran's time it was the liquid left over from making butter - today it's a cultured product more closely related to yoghourt or sour cream. However what they both have in common is higher acidity, and recipes that call for buttermilk rely on this acid content to make the recipe work
