Buttermilk

This used to be a by-product of butter-making, hence its name, but now we have specially cultured buttermilk, which is made by adding a culture to skimmed milk.

It has the same acidic flavour as the original and is perfect for making extra-light scones, soda bread and American-style pancakes.
