Don’t throw away the liquid buttermilk that you’ve drained. You can use it in a variety of recipes.

Amounts will vary based on how much butter you’ve made. A little bit of flavor will go a long way, and you can always add more if necessary, so just start by adding a dash. A quarter to a half teaspoon of any added flavoring agent should be a good start. If you have lots of over-whipped cream to turn into butter, you could split it into batches and add a different flavor to each.

It will then be perfect for making pancakes, dressings, fried chicken, and lots of other recipes.
