buttermilk
Pancake batter liquid
Buttermilk is the liquid left after churning butter from cream.
Traditional buttermilk is thin and slightly sour.
Modern buttermilk is cultured—milk fermented with bacteria to produce a thick, tangy liquid used in baking and cooking: buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk biscuits.
The acidity reacts with baking soda to create lift.
