Chef's notes
Homemade buttermilk can be used right away or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a couple of weeks.
Check the expiration date on the milk used to make it for a more solid guideline on how long to keep your homemade buttermilk.
Give the container a shake or stir the homemade buttermilk before adding it to your recipe.
Any kind of milk will work with this method of making buttermilk. It's best to use fresh milk with a further out expiration date.
Use whole milk for a richer, creamier buttermilk. Use reduced fat milk for lighter recipes.
