Buttermilk Pudding

Guest author Garrett McCord has been telling us about his buttermilk pudding for ages. He finally came over and made it for us recently. Outrageously good! ~Elise

Elise’s father is one of those people who has been known to drink buttermilk straight out of the glass. I think that’s, well, sort of gross. To me, buttermilk is a second string ingredient best left as a behind the scenes player. It should be the bridesmaid, never the bride.

That is, in most cases.

This is not one of those. Buttermilk pudding is something different entirely. A delicious and smooth pudding that elicits small moans of “Mmm,” and “Wow!” from those who try it. It’s just sweet enough, super creamy, with a sunny tang that teases you to keep taking bite after bite until, lo and behold, you’ve eaten the whole bowl.
