DH accidentally bought buttermilk instead of half and half, and we opened it before realizing what we had.
So what should we do with it? I can cook somewhat, but am not a baker, so buttermilk biscuits is out. I would be willing to try some simple baking recipes though. |

A quart is enough for two batches of waffles or pancakes. It keeps well so you could make some today and then next weekend.
Biscuits are actually really easy to make. Here are some other suggestions: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/884146.page#17273629 |

| I use buttermilk for my daily breakfast smoothie (1/2 cup buttermilk, splash of water, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/2 a pealed orange, 1/4 a pealed lemon, some berries, and a big handful of mixed greens blended together). Could also make buttermilk pancakes or waffles. Great for marinating chicken for frying (could oven fry). |

| I'd use it to marinate a chicken- check out Samin Nosrat's buttermilk chicken. |

Marinate chicken
You said you’re not a baker, but if you have a food processor or a high quality blender, you can make biscuits. Chuck them in the freezer and bake as needed. |

| Marinate chicken would be my first choice. If I felt ambitious, though, I’d make a buttermilk pie. |

Look for salad dressing recipes.
(Also. Try biscuits. Buttermilk biscuits are amazing.) |

| You can freeze it for latter if you only want to use a little now. portion it between a few ziplocks so you don't have the same problem latter. |
