By proclamation, post 20 supercedes all other posts in this thread. So be it. All in favor? Motion is cared.

Wait a minute. Hold the phone. I hate to do this. I'm normally not that kind of guy but I'm pulling rank on the dandelion wine. Sarge and I ARE the most senior moderators here so I think it should go to me first and then I'll pass what's left to Sarge.

You guys stick to your jobs and Crash and I will stick to ours, OKAY?

Hmmmm. Crash has TWO jobs now. Well, he DID start with Q.C.

Post 20! That's all I'm gonna say.

I often make a fake buttermilk by just adding some yogurt or buttermilk from the store and then just leave the milk in a warm place. I used to use heaters to warm the milk to the right temperature, but I don't bother anymore. I never boil the milk and never had a bad batch. Sometimes, I just put the milk in the sun to keep it warm enough to get the culture growing. Some people think I'm drinking sour milk, but it's not the same. You can set unpasturized milk out the same way to make "clabbered" milk....curds and whey. You can strain it for cheese or make butter. I always liked clabbered milk from the milk goats my parents had. Store milk sours in a differnet way and is nasty. I've regularly put yogurt or buttermilk in the gallon jug to keep the milk from going sour if I don't have refrigeration....or even when I do. Instead of going sour it will turn to a yogurt drink.

Growing up in Ozark County Missouri my Grandma Wiggins used to make what she called sour butter from the milk she gathered daily from her old Jersey Milkcow. Without this fresh whole milk available it had been nearly twenty years since I had tasted this butter melted atop a hot piece of Cornbread. My Mother in Law and I were talking about this one time, she used to cater in and around Savannah Georgia for nearly twenty years and we share recipes often. She came up with this recipe for me and I have to tell you that this is as close to the real Sour Butter Grandma Wiggins used to make as I have had since before she died.
If you like Buttermilk, you will like this.

Country Butter
(The Easy Way)

2-Sticks Salted Butter (Softened)
2-Sticks Margarine (Softened) Do not use Spread
1-8 Ounce Sour Cream

Beat all three together well and chill to temper it. Allow it to come back to room temperature before serving.
Taste like homemade butter.

That has got to be good. There must be 600,000 calories in it.

[crashdive123]

Maybe I'm missing something (in fact I'm sure of it), but wouldn't the two sticks of butter taste like.......well.....butter?

Crash,if you have never had homemade soured cream butter,you would not under stand,personally,I hate the stuff,but when I churned it as a kid,people were on a waiting list to buy it,they would not buy butter from the store,they just waited until they got the phone call,and then buy as many as they could at one time,I think it was an addiction myslef,bleh.

Butter milk is only for cooking,IMO.

I second that Nell. I love to cook with buttermilk and that's about it.
