Freezing Extra Buttermilk

 
OUT OF BUTTERMILK FOR BISCUITS ???
 
 
 
How many times have you tried a recipe that calls for 1 loving cup of buttermilk but they exclusively sell it inward quarts? Usually (at my solid anyway) the unused/extra buttermilk sits (forgotten) inward the dorsum of the refrigerator until its "use by" appointment has expired, but that is directly a affair of the past. Since I discovered how good buttermilk freezes, I ever have it inward the house.

The exclusively play tricks is to freeze it in small containers thus that it thaws quickly. The smallest container I tried was my H2O ice cube tray. After they are frozen, only seat them inward a freezer pocketbook together with carefully score what's inward the bag:
 

 

Ice cube trays are non a criterion size. I accept ane that measures two tablespoons per cube together with ane that measures 1½ tablespoons per cube, thus cash inward one's chips on that inward heed when you lot are thawing out the cubes (I unremarkably only thaw a brace extra to hold out on the prophylactic side).

As a full general rule:

8 frozen two oz. cubes = 1 loving cup buttermilk
6 frozen  two oz. cubes = 3/4 loving cup buttermilk
4 frozen two oz. cubes = 1/2 loving cup buttermilk
2 frozen two oz. cubes = 1/4 cup  buttermilk
6 frozen two oz. cubes  = 3/4  loving cup buttermilk

 
 
You tin post away thaw the buttermilk cubes overnight inward the fridge, or if you lot remove them sooner than that, you lot tin post away microwave them for only a few seconds.
 
DON'T FREAK OUT TIP:
Sometimes, the thawed out buttermilk looks similar it's separated (not pretty), don't freak out. Just whisk it dorsum together (for a few seconds) thus role it inward whatsoever recipe.

TIP # 2:
The accuracy of the SIZE of your frozen buttermilk cubes is only a guideline together with non at all important, it only gives you lot an visit of how many to thaw out for whatsoever given recipe.
