What is Buttermilk
Buttermilk is a fermented milk drink. Traditionally it was made from the liquid left behind while making butter from cultured cream and it is common in areas of the world where milk spoils easily due to warm weather. These days most buttermilk is cultured. Used often in cooking, buttermilk acts as an acid and when added to baked goods, gives them their soft and fluffy texture.
How to create a buttermilk substitute
If you can't find buttermilk at the grocery store or if you want to save a few dollars, making a buttermilk substitute is fairly easy. To make a buttermilk substitute, you'll want to add 1 Tbsp of acid to every cup of milk and letting it site for 10 minutes until it has curdled. Common acids to use are white vinegar or lemon juice.
How to store biscuits
While biscuits are best eaten right away, you can store them for a bit. For storing at room temperature, place in an airtight container and store at room temp for 1-2 days. If storing in a fridge, biscuits can last up to one week. If you want to make biscuits in advance for a holiday or large meal, place fully baked biscuits in an airtight container and store in the freezer. Everything Bagel Biscuits will last 2-3 months in the freezer.
