Buttermilk! Totally besides the point..

[britt72]

I love American pancakes, but I never get them just like I remember them from the States. Some recipes call for buttermilk, but what is that? I do know as to what the dictionary says, but do we have a Norwegian substitute? Can it be made? Or do anyone have a great recipe that do not need this? Please!!! :-)

I have used "skumma kulturmelk" as substitute for buttermilk since. Not in pancakes but in muffins.

Hi! I'm not sure but i think buttermilk is called 'condensert melk' in norwegian and comes in a tin can.

I just went to the kitchen to get my much beloved cookbook, and the recipe says "kulturmelk".

 

Enjoy!! Hope they taste just like back home!

Buttermilk in Norwegian is called "kjernemelk". It is not possible to get it in any shops as far as I know. It is not something used in the Norwegian cuisine, and I had never heard about it until I started investigating when given a recipe that needed buttermilk...

Kulturmelk is a good substitute, if not the same thing (I don't know). It tastes the same to me.

"condensert melk" is sweetened condensed milk, and it is NOT buttermilk! Using it would make for a strange subsitution in pancakes! Actually, condensed milk is rather hard to find here--I only ever found it in the foreign food stores--

What they do have is Viking Melk, and that is evaporated milk, in English.

 

Kjernemelk is buttermilk, and it is not usually readily available--but hey it is almost out of use in the US too....hard to find! I found it on sale ONCE at a gård--they had all kinds of fresh farm foods, and buttermilk was among them...

 

Any farms near where you live!
