It lasts forever - seriously, months after the use by date - so don't sweat it til you need it. I was very very dubious of this claim (made to me by my mother who grew up on a farm) until I needed some buttermilk and mine had "expired". I used it and it was fine - good, even!

Smitten Kitchen says the same thing.

Also - if you run out, you can make buttermilk by adding lemon juice to milk/cream.

This one bowl cake uses a cup of buttermilk, and the cake was eaten in an instant in our house.

Make a bunch of waffles or pancakes and freeze them. Or yes, as someone suggested above, you can freeze it (maybe in the amounts you would use for one batch of waffles) and then thaw later to use in a recipe.

If you have a mixed cake mix you can use buttermilk instead of water. It is amazing in red velvet mixes but would work with other mixes too.

You can marinate any type of chicken. I always marinate in buttermilk before grilling or baking chicken as it keeps the moisture in with dry cooking techniques.

This recipe is amazing. I use it exclusively now for roast chicken. Better than what you get at a restaurant.

This cornbread is really good and will use up 1 cup of that buttermilk.

If it's because of an expiration date, it lasts. If it's to get room in the fridge, then cakes and pancakes.

We have a surplus of buttermilk (random, I know) and I need to use it up ASAP. What are your best ideas? Thanks!
