    This vid was JUST what I needed for a family meal this weekend, thanks so much! Speaking of just what one needs, look for powdered buttermilk in your grocery's baking aisle. It's shelf-stable for a year until you open it, and then keeps in the fridge for monnnnnnths. 4 tablespoons powdered buttermilk + 1 cup water = 1 cup of buttermilk so close to fresh that you can use it to make buttermilk pie without telling the difference... and no carton of leftover buttermilk taking up space in your fridge until you finally guiltily throw it out! The buttermilk pancake recipe on the back of the Sacco buttermilk container is AMAZING and has been my go-to since I discovered it in the 90's. Thanks again for this how-to!
