Thanks, Emeril! I just used this recipe to make my own ricotta cheese, and it turned out heavenly.
For reviewers who expect this to be actual homemade buttermilk, maybe the title is a tad misleading. If you want a more real deal, churn heavy cream into butter and use the leftover liquid. This is a *substitute* buttermilk, darn handy when you don't have heavy cream on hand or don't feel like making butter. This way is cheaper, too, and works great in all sorts of cooking/baking applications. If you're looking to chug it down straight as a beverage, however, this isn't the recipe for you.

I did not have buttermilk for a biscuit recipe, so I found this, and -- everything seems to have come out quite perfectly! Thank you, Emeril, for the wonderful recipe :

well sorry, but this is definitely no buttermilk.
As this word contains 'butter' it has something to do with 'butter'. It is a leftover from the butter production.
The taste is pretty different to that product I can get when I follow this recipe, I only get soured milk....
But as the Americans use 'butter'milk only for cooking, this might fulfill their needs.
What a petty - they miss a really healthy drink, excellent for beauty and very low in calories. Rich of minerals.... and a great taste.

I will never buy buttermilk again. This recipe is EASY and makes the best salad dressing.
