Takes a bit of adjusting

This one is a bit tricky to use. It's nice and thick, but it's a bit complicated to use. I ended up not getting the mix right in baking I was doing. But beyond that functionality, this is nice to make quick buttermilk to drink or use within pancake mix.Shelf life isn't bag and the taste is pretty decent. It is a mix, so it will never be a good as fresh buttermilk, but the manufacturer tried hard to make it taste good and be accessible whenever you need it. I don;t find the instructions to make it to be spot on; fair warning. But it's close so it might be needing just small adjustments. But if you can take your time and find the right consistency you'll enjoy having this on your shelf when you need it.

Made great waffles

This made some of the best waffles I’ve ever made at home. I like to have dry waffle mix on hand to make breakfasts easier. This helped my waffles be fluffy on the inside and crispy on the inside. It’s easy to use in place of liquid. The only downside is there’s not a whole lot.Review for Healthier Comforts Buttermilk Powder | Kosher, Gluten Free, Non-GMO | Baking Supplies, Biscuits & Gravy, Salad Dressing, Mini Pancakes | Made in USA (12oz)

Perfect quality and super handy for baking and cooking

Healthier Comforts Buttermilk Poweder is a terrific product that is much more economical to use for the half cup or two thirds cup or quarter cup of buttermilk I need for some recipe, versus buying a whole carton of the stuff which I normally don't use very often. Before getting smart and getting myself some buttermilk powder I used to have to avoid recipes that called for buttermilk because I didn't like the inevitable waste. Now I seek out those recipes because they generally produce a softer and fluffier end product.This powder is high quality and mixes up perfectly in warm water. The proportion to use is 1/4 cup of mix to 1 cup of water. I use a coffee frother to blend mine thoroughly. I use it in pancakes, quick breads, even my favorite cole slaw dressing. If you actually like to drink buttermilk, you would want to mix it up in advance with warm water and powder, blending well (such as with a hand held coffee frother gadget) and then chill it in the fridge as you like. This is a skim milk buttermilk, it is fat free. It contains milk, lactic acid, and cultures.The quality of this product is perfect. It contains only buttermilk. There are no clumps and the drying process doesn't require high heat so the flavor is basically exactly like fresh buttermilk. It tastes delicious.

As Described. Happy to Have This Product Available

Our resident chef has complained about buttermilk being more difficult to find than previously. While most prefer the "real" thing for drinking, having a more convenient substitute for cooking and baking was an attractive proposition. So, this 12 ounce bag was ordered.It arrived over night which was just as expected. The factory bag was unscathed as were its contents.The powdered buttermilk is white in color and has an extremely fine texture. So fine that it is very easy for small amounts to 'escape' when opening the package. So, take care in that regard. I found the package to be a bit difficult to reseal and employed a freezer zip-lock bag as a backup. The instructions call for adding one-quarter cup of powder (2 ounces) to a cup of water. Meaning this 12 ounce bag should produce 6 cups of buttermilk. However, you are at liberty to make the finished product more or less concentrated depending on your tastes. A teaspoonful in an ounce of water produced a reasonable, if slightly thin, facsimile of buttermilk, however.Although the labeling indicates no refrigeration is required, most such products are stored in our refrigerator or freezer. The listed expiration date is 09/27.

Small bag, big flavor… makes pancakes and waffles extra creamy

I’ve been using this buttermilk powder mostly for pancakes and waffles, and honestly, it’s been a great option. It gives them this extra creamy texture and a flavor that’s a little richer than usual… my son loves it, and right now pancakes and waffles are basically his favorite breakfasts. I feel good knowing it’s a healthy ingredient that actually adds something beneficial while making his meals tastier.Even though it comes in a small bag, a little goes a long way. I’ve used it in multiple batches, and it really stretches across several recipes. It’s a simple way to boost both the flavor and texture of baked goods or anything you’re cooking, and I’m really happy with how versatile it is in the kitchen.

Shelf stable buttermilk

This buttermilk powder came in a resealable zipper bag. It is very easy to use in baking, that you add this buttermilk powder to your dry ingredients and then add water to the wet ingredients before combining the two. I used it to make maple bacon scones that I had been craving since we had an incredible one when we went to Alaska last year. Found recipe online which called for 255ml of buttermilk, which was about a cup. I followed the bag directions to add 1/4 cup of this buttermilk powder to my dry ingredients which was easy to mix with a whisk, and 1 cup of water to the wet. They turned out so good! Tasted very similar to the maple bacon scones we had in Alaska! Success!I also used it to make buttermilk pancakes, and that also turned out well. I have not reconstituted it as buttermilk itself to soak chicken in before baking or frying, that would be a good use for it as well.I always find myself needing buttermilk for different recipes but never had it in my fridge. This is so convenient to have, and it's shelf stable, that I can just keep it in my pantry. Very versatile and functions well. It's a good size at 12oz in this bag, will last me a long time. I also appreciate that this is non-GMO and made in the USA. Would be even better if it were organic. Average value for money.

Quality ingredients

I was looking for a healthy powdered Buttermilk product and this seems to be it! I do a lot of baking but do not like buying Buttermilk as I usually throw some out as it expires. The powdered Buttermilk is always on hand. I keep it in the refrigerator in a sealed container which I feel keeps long after the expiration date.

Makes great biscuits.

Buttermilk biscuits came out great. The packaging is great in that you can easily reseal it. However I find that sometimes the powder gets trapped in the zipper making it a bit of a challenge to make sure it's fully sealed.

Great shelf stable buttermilk option for baking and cooking

This buttermilk powder comes in a resealable pouch to keep it fresh. It's a great way to add that tangy buttermilk flavor to recipes without having to keep liquid buttermilk on hand. I mostly use it in powder form and just add it with my dry ingredients, which works fine for biscuits, pancakes, etc. I've also added it to liquid ingredients such as batters and marinades. It mixes in well generally, though it may impact the thickness of your recipe. In either case though, I've been satisfied with the value, quality, and convenience of having access to buttermilk flavor without having to buy a whole container at the store which I rarely need all of.

A Convenient Kitchen Staple: Exactly What You Need for Baking and Beyond

As someone who loves to bake but doesn't always have fresh buttermilk on hand, I was excited to try the Healthier Comforts Premium Cultured Buttermilk Powder as a reliable, shelf-stable alternative. After using it in several batches of biscuits and other recipes, it has definitely earned a permanent spot in my pantry.Specific Performance and UseThe primary purpose of a product like this is convenience without compromise on results, and this powder delivers.Effortless Mixing: The powder is fine and blends exceptionally well. I've used it both by reconstituting it with warm water beforehand (using a small whisk to ensure no clumps) and by adding the powder directly to the dry ingredients for some recipes. In both cases, I had no issues with clumping.Results in Baking (Biscuits): I primarily tested this in my standard buttermilk biscuit recipe. The biscuits came out just as tender, light, and flaky as when I use fresh, cultured buttermilk. It provides that essential, slight tanginess that balances the fat and leavening agents perfectly.Savory Applications (Marinating): This powder is perfect for savory uses too. I often skip buttermilk when making fried chicken tenders because I never have buttermilk in the fridge. Having this on the shelf means I can mix up exactly the amount I need for an overnight soak without waste, resulting in moist, perfectly tangy chicken every time.The Convenience FactorThe shelf stability is the biggest win here. I used to either have a half-full carton of fresh buttermilk go bad in the fridge or have to run to the store for a small amount for a recipe. This powder eliminates that waste and frustration completely. The ability to measure out exactly what you need. That's whether it's a cup for pancakes or just a tablespoon for a dressing. It's incredibly economical and practical.Overall, if you're a home cook who uses buttermilk for baking or savory recipes but struggles with the limited shelf life of the fresh liquid, this powder is a high-quality, reliable, and convenient solution. It tastes like quality cultured buttermilk and performs exactly as it should.

It mixes in easy, no clumpiness. I like that I can just keep it in the pantry as a staple that won't expire fast and does not need to be kept cold. The bag’s a good size and at $12 its a fair deal.

Handy Pantry Staple

Buttermilk in recipes has always been the bane of my cooking. It's not all that easy to find fresh buttermilk in stores, and it's not something that I keep on hand given that it has limited uses. This powdered buttermilk is an excellent solution to my biscuit, ranch and pancake making dilemma. The powder smells good and seems fresh. I personally don't bother mixing it with water and just sprinkle it right into my recipes to get the buttermilk flavor that I'm seeking. I LOVE that it's shelf stable, so it won't get wasted and I can use it over time when my cooking calls for it. It's made in the USA and checks all the right boxes, according to the listing and their website. However, because I'm not familiar with this brand, I wish there was a little more information about the the company on the website (an "About Us" section, for instance). I was able to locate Healthier Comforts on the Kosher Michigan website, so that is reassuring. I think it's a decent value... not the most expensive out there, but not the cheapest either. The long shelf life makes it worthwhile, because fresh buttermilk is pretty pricey for something that gets a single use.

Great pantry add

I recently tried a buttermilk powder and was really happy with the results. It's so convenient to have on hand for when a recipe calls for buttermilk and I don't have any fresh. I used it to make biscuits, and they came out fluffy and tender with that classic buttermilk tang. It was also great for a batch of mini pancakes, making them extra moist and flavorful. The container is a good size, and I appreciate that it's shelf-stable. It's definitely a handy staple to keep in the pantry for all kinds of baking and cooking.

Convenient for baking

This is a 12 oz resealable zip top bag of buttermilk powder, from Healthier Comforts. It arrived fresh and factory sealed. I use buttermilk powder frequently for baking. Rather than keeping liquid buttermilk on hand all the time, which can go bad quickly, I always keep buttermilk powder on hand. This Healthier Comforts buttermilk powder is hormone- and antibiotic-free, and made in the US. It imparts that nice tangy flavor of buttermilk into baked goods such as pancakes, waffles, and biscuits, which also helps with leavening baked goods. This is good quality, tastes great, and works great. I love that it is shelf stable and doesn't require refrigeration. At the current price of $12.99 though, it is not as good of a value compared to other similar products.
