Any Home Bakers Here?

[Aria]

I will start the Thanks giving cooking on Wednesday.

Luckily I can edit pdfs since I have Acrobat pro-- Most of my recipes are on Drop Box.

I will miss the planning and cooking. ENJOY.

Y’all need to remind the rest of us to take our turkey out of the freezer. I forgot!

For the first time in over 30 years I have a bought turkey in the freezer.

Hi home bakers! I am also a home baker but have never posted here.

I have a question that isn't 100% related to baking (maybe your answers will be?), but I figured you guys might be just the ones to ask.

So yesterday, I made butter for the first time, using my stand mixer. It turned out great! I hate wasting anything so I filled a jar with whipped cream halfway through, and I also saved all of the buttermilk that separated from the butter.

My question to you all is, what can I do with this UNcultured buttermilk? Everything I've looked up so far is people mixing it with store-bought cultured buttermilk to make more buttermilk, but buying more buttermilk defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do: just make use of what I have.

What recipes can this be used for? Can I use it just like I would cultured buttermilk, even though it doesn't have that tangy flavor? Can I somehow use it in my pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving? I was also thinking of sharing some with the chickens but I'd mostly like to make use of it for myself.

Thanks!!

Welcome!

I am a cheese maker, and I do have a recipe for butter, the same way you make it. I think my recipe book says what you can do with that uncultured buttermilk.

Let me check.

Here’s a recipe from my cheese making book for what you can do with that buttermilk.

Thanks so much for looking that up for me! Sounds like I'll be making that next weekend. I also have some really good blueberries from blueberry season that I froze, so I'll top it with those. Yum.

No problem. Glad I could help.

The butter recipe in that same book says to refer to this recipe for what to do with the buttermilk, so it should work for you.
