In reply to Lizzi Tremayne. Hi Lizzi. Actually the recipe for Danish buttermilk does not contain yogurt. It is buttermilk and some kind of soured milk (similar texture as milk just more sour). Maybe it is a special thing we have here in Denmark. However, if you cannot find the soured milk then you can also use some neutral yogurt (maybe in the ratio 2/3 buttermilk and 1/3 yogurt).

In reply to Christine. Hi Christine. That's a good question. Sour milk is a typical European dairy product. It is made from whole milk which has been made a sour milk by adding bacteria (I think it is called a acidification process). Buttermilk is made from low fat skim milk. You can substitute the soured milk with another dairy product which has a creamy and sour-like taste.

I’ve just come across your blog. It’s wondeeful. Bringing back many memories from my childhood. In your recipe for buttermilk soup with rhubarb- how is the sour milk different from the buttermilk? Is it a liquid or like a thick cream (sour cream in Canada). I look forward to following your blog and finding more recipes.
