Buttermilk powder

Buttermilk powder is a dairy product that comes from buttermilk, a by-product of churning butter from cream. It's a convenient and versatile ingredient used in cooking and baking to add a rich, tangy flavour to dishes. Buttermilk powder is a popular choice for those who may not have fresh buttermilk on hand or prefer the convenience of a powdered form.

To make buttermilk powder, buttermilk is first pasteurised to kill any harmful bacteria. Then, the liquid buttermilk is turned into a powder through a process called spray drying. This involves spraying the liquid buttermilk into a hot chamber, where the moisture is quickly evaporated, leaving behind the powdered form of buttermilk that can easily be stored for longer periods.

You may find buttermilk powder listed on food labels as it helps enhance the flavour and texture of various foods. It can be found in baked goods like pancakes, waffles, muffins, and biscuits, giving them a light and fluffy texture. Additionally, buttermilk powder is often used in salad dressings, marinades, and soups to add a creamy tanginess without the need for fresh buttermilk.
