WHY IS BUTTERMILK USED IN BAKING ??
A. Buttermilk brings a pleasant tang to cakes while adding very little fat. It gives baked goods a softer texture and more body. If you use buttermilk as a substitute for milk in baking , you'll need to change the amount of baking powder due to higher acidic content in buttermilk. For every 50 ml of buttermilk used instead of milk you will want to use 1 teaspn less baking powder . Here in the above recipe , you can use 50 ml of buttermilk with only 1teaspn baking powder.
NOTE:
It is important in baking that the ingredients are placed in the order on the recipe.
