Even though the heavy cream is the only ingredient you need, it's best to shop smart. Your buttermilk will turn out best if you avoid a cream that is ultra-pasteurized. The regular pasteurized cream has a fresher taste because it isn't subjected to the very high temperatures used in the "ultra-pasteurization" process. It can be more difficult to find but is worth it. Preparation
To make a small batch of homemade buttermilk, fill a jar halfway with heavy cream. Then, screw the lid on firmly (a canning jar works well for this purpose). Start shaking the jar up and down. After several minutes, the cream will thicken and turn into whipped cream. Keep shaking until the whipped cream is replaced with a yellow glob (that's butter) and a separate liquid (that's the buttermilk). Pour the buttermilk out of the jar and use it in any recipe that calls for it—or drink it straight, as they did in the olden days.
