I no longer buy butter milk I culture my own by taking a cup or so of butter milk and putting it in a clean qt mason jar and adding milk to it, then let it sit on my counter for 6-8 hours to culture then put it in the frige. That’s it, then when I get down to about a cup I just do it again. I use at least 2 cups of butter milk a week an have not bought buttermilk in six months since I bought my last qt to make my original starter. You can also buy the powdered cultures on line and at some dairy farms (so I have read, we can’t get raw milk here). you can use any milk- canned, raw, powdered, store bought… I have used canned and store bought, I don’t like the taste of powdered so I haven’t used that but I’ve read people use it.

This recipe looks great! We have a Belgian waffle iron– will it work in that?

I made these for the first time today. I have made waffles with other recipes before, but always with whole eggs. These were just awesome. I did use vinegar/milk instead of buttermilk because the only thing I would use buttermilk for is waffles.

Can you find some zero-waste buttermilk? I know Whole Foods here sells buttermilk in returnable glass bottles. It’s expensive, but holy moly! It’s REALLY good buttermilk.

You can use milk and vinegar, but it’s definitely not quite the same.

They sell powdered buttermilk, but the best you could do there is to find some in a recyclable container.

Kristen,

I started using buttermilk for your pancakes but have since gone “zero waste” in the kitchen so no longer buy the milk cartons. Have you ever tried making your waffles or pancakes with the cheat of milk and vinegar? I can understand the flavor would be similar but where would the light, airy texture come from? Thanks for any thoughts.

Linda, it was indeed too much work to keep up a baking blog. I couldn’t manage to do that and maintain this one, so I just decided to do baking stuff here once a week.

I have missed the reason you do not have the blog for cooking. Why did you discontinue it. I love the fotos that you post. I know it must be a lot of work for you to post them. Oh, all for the love of baking and cooking. A miracle that you stay so very thin and pretty.
lol
