This convenient shelf-stable powder is praised for baking biscuits, pancakes, cornbread, and ranch dressing.

Overall, shoppers appreciate not wasting liquid buttermilk.

Ended up with milk instead of buttermilk

II ended up with normal milk powder instead of buttermilk powder.The was two labels one as milk and the other as buttermilk, so I was not able to determine which was true until I used the product. At that point it was too late to return it.

Nothing like buttermilk

When mixed as directed, result is white water, essentially. Even at 4 times the amount of powder, tastes nothing like buttermilk & is still thin & watery.

Nothing like buttermilk

This stuff tastes more like regular powdered milk than buttermilk. Best to just skip it and get the real thing.

Won’t repurchase

This did not taste anything like buttermilk, it tastes more like half and half. My biscuits turned out ok, but I will not buy this again.

Missing that buttermilk tanginess

This buttermilk powder is ok but lacks the tanginess of regular buttermilk. Fine for shelf stable baking mixes but your baked items will be missing a little something. So far I haven't found a buttermilk powder that's does have that tangy quality.

Container crushed, leaking and broken upon receipt

The container was crushed and leaking when received although the shipping box was not damaged. Product leaked in the box. Not usable as I don’t know what could have gotten into the container. Since it’s a food item there’s no option for return or replacement. I’m sure the product is good but this container is not usable. Will reorder and try again.

Too much fat that doesn't dissolve properly when mixed or stirred.

Little hard to get it to mix with water, which makes it lumpy

Hot necessarily think this is a good value for the money due to you really have to work with it to get it to blend with water, it tastes OK so the only thing I use it for to blend it up and use it to cook chicken or food before I cook it. The shelf life seems to be good, it’s thick and the size is great. I wish the texture was smoother to it.

Tastes like milk powder

I bought this to avoid having to buy cartons of buttermilk for infrequent recipes, but was somewhat disappointed as it far thinner when mixed than the real thing and I don’t notice it takes like real buttermilk

No mixing instructions on container

I was very surprised when I received this that there were no mixing instructions on the container. Luckily, they had the instructions on their website.

Reminds me of USDA Powdered milk

It reminds me of USDA Powdered milk mixed with yogurt and rested for a day makes a very drinkable low cost buttermilk.

Doesn't add buttermilk tartness

I don't see how this is any different from regular milk powder. It works well as regular milk powder in baking, but it absolutely does NOT add any tang to your biscuits or other baked goods the way real buttermilk or other buttermilk powders I've used do. I also tried it to make buttermilk dressing and it just tasted sweet.

It clumps, flavor good but not worth it.

Not Bad for Powdered

This buttermilk powder has a nice flavor but is entirely lacking any tartness. If you’ve ever tasted buttermilk straight, you’ll know what mean. One of the main flavor components of fresh buttermilk is the acidic bite it has. I added a bit of tartaric acid and the hydrated product was closer in flavor to buttermilk but still pretty obviously a powdered milk product, even in biscuits. I don’t think there’s any dry substitute for real buttermilk but this powder is better than most and doesn’t have additives.

Good product but...

Product works well in recipes but is supposed to have a 3 year shelf life. The product I received expires in Jan of 2022. Can't retuen and message to the seller went unanswered. Bottom line good product but purchase from someone else.

It tasted just like regular milk. So disappointed.

It tasted nothing at all like buttermilk. Just had regular milk flavor. It’s a good powder so I can use it but very disappointed.

Yuck!

Convenient buttermilk

Convenient for those recipes that call for buttermilk. The directions only tell you how to make 4 or 8 ounces, so you have to guess if you need a different amount. It didn't dissolve the way I expected, but the end result seemed to work, so I'm happy with the product.

Good for a backup

It works in a pinch. Problem I had with it is that it’s to thin. It also took longer to blend. Perhaps it’s just this batch. Expiration isn’t for more than a year so that helps.
