What's the biggest culinary scam?For me, it's buttermilk. Just mix some milk and lemon juice

>>21110310If you want buttermilk pancakes right away you can throw a cup or two of cream into a stand mixer and get both buttermilk and butter. You’d need to strain the buttermilk from the butter if you plan to keep it but otherwise you can just use it all up that way
>>21110310That's not how buttermilk tastes.
Just melt a stick of butter and put it in a halfgalon of milk
>>21110310real buttermilk is the liquid leftover from making butter.
>>21110310Buttermilk has a more complex flavor from being fermented. It's generally smoother too. It can work in batters and things like that but you probably couldn't use it for a dip or dressing.
Baking powder.
that's like saying sauerkraut is a scam and you should just mix cabbage and vinegar

>>21111163op posted cultured buttermilk. that's different from the liquid leftover after making butter
>>21110310You prefer the substitution? LOL, what a fag. It's not even close to the same thing. You don't even know what a scam is, fuckface.
>>21110839>low keyFuck off, zoomer.
>>21111166The cultured buttermilk OP posted was made from fresh cream churned into butter
>>21111166Then why is the accusation >doesn't know what buttermilk is
>>21111149Even though I described exactly how you can get it? Kys
Unsalted butter is a scam. Baking recipes call for it all the time and I never use it.
>>21111290I don't think you know what scams are
>>21110310Biggest is probably how much the organic “certification” groups make with no actual inspection requirements or verification.Honorable mention to the kosher section at every grocery store that no one ever buys from.
