    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.

    This is a great recipe... if you do not have buttermilk available.

    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.

    Quick recipe for items you have around the house when if you don't have time to run out to the store for buttermilk.
