66 Delicious Buttermilk Recipes Beyond just Pancakes

66 Delicious Buttermilk Recipes Beyond just Pancakes

When I think of school mornings of very distant past, it reminds me about homemade breakfasts with buttermilk pancakes. Other than buttermilk biscuits and pancakes, I never really gave buttermilk much thought. But, it's a very versatile ingredient that can be added to so many other baked goods and even some surprising savory dishes for dinner. I've put together a big list of buttermilk recipes all in one place, so let's get this party started!

55 Recipes Made with Buttermilk

For a few years, I had trouble finding buttermilk at my local store which can be an issue for recipe followers, that's why I started searching up substitutes. I've used milk with vinegar and that worked awesome, but there are many other buttermilk substitutes out there. Joy the baker has recipes for mixing things like lemon or yogurt with milk. If you can't track down your own buttermilk, give those a try!

Let's start with breakfast, hit baked goods and desserts and then finish off with some savory recipes fit for dinner.
