How many butches of buttermilk in average you can make from one package when keeping some as a starter for a new butch? Thx

I've used the same package for three or four batches. I pour the warm milk into the old jar with a bit of leftover buttermilk on the bottom and then let it sit on the counter all day. Once it has cultured/thickened I dump that batch into a new clean jar. This site is helpful: http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/a-fresh-batch-of-homemade-buttermilk

Well Tony, as CRICKETSDAD answered, one bag will make one (1) gallon of gravy. But unless you're feeding an army that's way too much. It's also suggested to break down the individual measurements and make smaller batches. It all works fine and it's reallllly good.

Yeah, that is a lot to have left over. I didn't follow the directions since I read on here beforehand that the measurements were off. I usually use 3 cups of milk and about 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp of starter and that's it. I don't use the dry milk powder.

I have no idea. I don't make buttermilk with it. I add it to other ingredients to make my own pancake mix.

I have had some packages for up to 3 years or maybe longer if it got shoved to the back of a shelf. I always add at least a few tablespoons of real butter when I make up a packet of Butter Buds to punch up the flavor but still I have noticed no problem with the older packages.

The recipe I use calls for 2 cups of heavy cream and 3 cups of milk. the container can actually hold a little more than that, maybe 1 more cup, but most of the recipes I found online called for a 5 cup combination of milk or milk and cream. Since I've had my DASH, I've made yogurt many times and have never once had a failed batch!! If you follow instructions, you will be well pleased with your purchase.

I always use my homemade batch as a starter. My first batch I divide up into 3 tablespoon servings into multiple ziplock snack bags that I put in the freezer. The culture will keep when frozen, plus it is your strongest batch. Make another batch with 3 tbl spoons from the 1st batch. Then I eat my yogurt and leave over about 3 tbs for the next batch over and over until one batch seems a little too loose, then go to the freezer and start over. Think of the savings!!!

I used a standard portion size 8 oz. of skim milk, for kids whole milk for adults with health concerns 1, 2 precent or skim. Great Product, I bought bulk to save money because you do save considerable amount and trips to the store as it is hard to find especially different flavors. I got 6 cases with 6 boxes in each case that is a lot of breakfast shakes. Pre measured packages easy peasy in the morning rip one open throw in a travel cup and you are good to go.

I don't know truthfully. I buy it in 25# bags. I love it though. It really makes excellent cakes and brownies and it works well with no dairy in it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I only do 2 at a time ...but I like my yolks runny. Any more than that and they are too firm. I also remove some of the whites to help to keep them from over cooking or getting too runny

I use 3 Tbs of powder per cup of actual buttermilk you need. I have not used this brand in powder form for anything yet but other brands of powdered buttermilk that I've used tell you that you can do so.

There were 50 in a pack, but I didn't like the liners at all. I put them in the cupcake tins and when we went to put the batter in the cups, they buckled inward and wouldn't straighten out. Sorry, I just wasn't happy with them. They were so cute too!

Yes you are right. Its a lot. I have been using it everyday for cooking and butter replacement for 4 months still have 1/3 left in the first tub.

What is says on the side of the container is that three cups of the powder plus 3.75 quarts of water makes a gallon of buttermilk. I just use it dry when making bread. So, yes, I add the powder to the recipes with the other dry ingredients. The other think I figured out recently is that shaking sweet potato pieces in it and then baking them makes oven fries with crispy outsides. It works less well on white potatoes. What I like most about this over the Saco is the plastic jar rather than Saco's wimpy cardboard one. Otherwise, I just choose the buttermilk powder by price. Heidi

I have a book about yogurt that doesn't say anything about not using the homemade batch as starter. I suspect it probably has more to do with the company wanting to sell you more starter than it does the quality of the homemade batch as starter. I'm not an expert, however, so I've compromised. I use fresh starter about every fourth or fifth batch. So far, no problems... I should mention that last time I bought a different brand of starter which has no warning about not using the homemade stuff as starter!

If I remember correctly it was 6 packages: PS I just checked it was 6 packages, each batch makes 6 pints, they have changed the recipe from many years ago but I make it the way it used to be, I had an empty package to use recipe from; It is still the BEST! Best Wishes
