Buttermilk is one of the most magical things that has ever happened to cooking! From making your cakes super moist, to tenderizing your chicken for frying, it's applications are endless. The only problem is that you usually have to buy a half gallon, only to use a couple of cups. So what do you do with the rest? I'm so glad you ask. Let me show you How to Freeze Buttermilk to use in later recipes!

To begin I get out my muffin tin.  This provides the perfect half cup portion.  I simply pour the buttermilk into each compartment, place the muffin pan on a baking sheet, and freeze overnight.

In the morning, I remove the muffin pan from the freezer, let sit on the counter for five minutes, and the frozen buttermilk cubes pop right out!  How cute are these perfect half cup portions!?!

Next place the cubes in a resealable bag.  I like to write how much each cube is.  When you are ready, melt and use in what ever dish you need!   It’s that simple!  It’s simple kitchen tricks like this one that help up save time and money.  So give it a try soon!

And as always…

Happy Reading, Happy Eating, Happy Living,
