All you need is a tall glass.
Growing up in Texas, I was trained to think that buttermilk was for fried chicken, biscuits, and ranch dressing. My dad, on the other hand, was always telling me toHe’d reminisce about his childhood in India when, to cool off during the humid, sticky summers, he’d drink buttermilk seasoned with green chiles, ginger, and a little salt, called chaach.
But I ignored my dad’s advice. I had enough dairy products crowding my fridge! Milk for my chai, yogurt for snacking. Did I really need buttermilk, too? And then, about a year ago, I moved in with my partner, who really,, and, uh, has a penchant for buying ingredients without checking to see if we already have them. Very quickly, our fridge became littered with half-filled bottles of various brands of buttermilk. We had no room left. Something needed to be done.
On one particularly hot New York day, I thought back to my dad’s childhood stories, poured myself a glass of buttermilk, and pinched in a little salt and pepper. To my surprise, it had all the best parts of yogurt and Gatorade—filling, energizing, a little acidic in a pleasant way. It satisfied my salt craving, and kept hunger pangs at bay all afternoon. I started drinking a glass of buttermilk with my morning toast or oatmeal—sometimes seasoned with salt and pepper, sometimes just plain.
Now I buy my own buttermilk, whether or not a bottle magically appears in the fridge after a weekend baking session. I splurge on the good stuff, which is thick and creamy, with a pucker-y tang .is far and away my favorite. It’s never crazy expensive, but it feels like a luxurious purchase since it’s not on my usual list of grocery staples. And because buttermilk lasts for a very long time in your fridge, there’s no race to finish it—just, in my case, a race against shelf space.
The best part of buttermilk, though, has nothing to do with its taste or nutritive qualities. Because it’s a little thick, it’s not one of those drinks you can just down and then race out the door. You’re forced to sip it slowly, and take a moment of peace, even if it’s just a short one, before you start your day.Explore Bon Appétit
