Content: Make sure the container is large enough to accommodate the amount of dairy you're working with. Pour in 1 quart of milk. Whole milk is ideal, but 1 percent is perfectly fine. Stir to combine the milk and buttermilk thoroughly..
Place the lid on your container. ( A standard Mason jar will do, or use any non-reactive container with a lid.) Leave it out on the counter at ambient room temperature. After 12 to 24 hours, the mixture will thicken. The longer you leave it out, the thicker and tangier the buttermilk will be. Depending on how warm your kitchen is, it may also take longer. Once the buttermilk has reached the texture and flavor you desire, store it in the refrigerator for up to a month..
Use your buttermilk as you would store-bought buttermilk, like in a homemade buttermilk ranch dressing.
