I use buttermilk for breading fish and chicken and it has so many uses besides enhancing the flavor of what you're cooking or baking
Buttermilk is great in our best pancakes, shortcake and even used for soaking chicken wings in it before deep frying.
Scroll down to the recipe card and bake a double batch, these won't last long!
Buttermilk Makes The Difference!
This kind of milk brings out the chocolate flavor to another level.
It makes them tender and not dry.
I love using buttermilk in my skillet shortcake recipe and perfect to use to dip my chicken or any meats before breading it in.
Buttermilk in blueberry scones is fantastic, it really helps them rise and get a get top!
Buttermilk is also an ingredient I use in my homemade pork breakfast sausages, they come out so juicy and tender.
Store-bought buttermilk is made from milk treated with lactic acid bacteria.
The results are always the best for cooking and baking, it's really delicious, and I love using it.
It's a multi-purpose ingredient that can tenderize meat in marinades and give anything you bake using some leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda, the buttermilk is an aid that helps in making the recipe rise perfectly.
Soft Cookies
Buttermilk is one of those ingredients you really don't think to buy every week.
But trust me it's used in so many great recipes and these chocolate cookies are delightful.
I love the ease of drop cookies, mix, drop, bake!
The soft texture is more like a buttery chocolate cake cookie and so good.
Fudgy Cookies
The cookie batter smells divine and they bake up so fudgy and light.
When I make these they don't last long, everyone loves the unique flavor.
A hint of almond, light texture melt in your mouth texture.
Chocolate Lovers
If you or your family are addicted to chocolate like we are, you will find this is screaming chocolate flavors especially with those melted chocolate chips in them.
They are fabulous while still warm, it's so hard to wait for them to cool!
The cocoa powder, chocolate chips combinations make these a deep chocolate flavor and sure to please any chocolate lover in your household.
I am asked to make these rich buttery cookies often.
Tips
- Don't overbake these, just cook until set in the middles
- Use only unsweetened cocoa powder
- For uniform-sized cookies, use an ice cream scoop to drop them
- Only use store-bought gourmet-style buttermilk
- Cool for at least 3 to 5 minutes before removing hot cookies, they are tender and will break
Drop Cookies
I am a big fan of easy baking!
Drop cookies are so simple.
Mix, drop on a cookie sheet and bake!
I like using an ice cream scoop to keep them all around the same size.
How much easier can it be other than a no-bake cookie?
