- 1 ounce Sugar
- 1 ounce Dry Yeast
- 2 1/2 pints Whole Milk, tepid (90ºF)
- 2 1/2 pints Water, tepid (90ºF)
Instructions
- Mix sugar and yeast together. Gradually add milk and water.
- Cover and leave at room temperature for 2 days.
- By then, it should have the sharp, pleasant smell of buttermilk. Strain the buttermilk and use it as usual.
- Keep the sponge-like residue that remains in the strainer. Rinse it thoroughly in tepid water, place in a scalded container, add more tepid milk and tepid water to make more buttermilk.
Note: Your "buttermilk plant" will go on producing forever, as long as you are careful to strain and wash it about every 5 days. Also remember to always use water-milk mixture tepid.
