Please Note:
Next, the (slightly) harder way, which involves making your own buttermilk culture from raw milk.
If you’re looking for a good starter culture for Buttermilk (or any other fermented foods like Kombucha, sourdough, yogurt, etc.), check out the listings on my resources page.

1 cup of cultured buttermilk
3 cups of whole milk
1 lidded glass jar
The How-To
Pour the buttermilk into the jar. Add the milk. Shake it up, then let it sit on your counter or another relatively warm place for 24 hours. When cultured, the thickened new batch of buttermilk will coat your glass. Now, pop it in the fridge, and it will last for weeks. Easy! Please Note: 1) Quantities don’t matter as much as proportion. Stick to the 1 to 3 ratio, and your buttermilk will always turn out well (as long as your starting culture is alive) whether you’re making 1 cup, 4 cups, or a gallon. 2) If you use raw or non-homogenized milk, your cream is likely to separate and culture on its own as well.
