how to always have Buttermilk in your pantry

I use Saco cultured buttermilk blend whenever the recipe calls for liquid buttermilk. The powder has a shelf life of more than two years when refrigerated after opening. The dry powder is easily reconstituted with 4 TB and a cup of water. From their container, here's a delicious recipe for pancakes. Freeze the leftover pancakes.

Buttermilk Pancakes

4 TB Buttermilk blend powder

1 cup all purpose flour

1 TB sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 egg

1 cup water

2 TB vegetable oil

Makes ten 4 inch pancakes (recipe can be doubled). Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add the beaten egg, water and oil. Beat just until batter is smooth. Do not overbeat! Drop from a spoon onto a hot greased pan or griddle, and cook until top is full of tiny bubbles and the underside is brown. Turn and brown the other side.
