Answer 1

Buttermilk is the liquid left over after producing butter from full-cream milk by the churning process. It has a slightly sour taste.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttermilk

Buttermilk: 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 cup equals 1 cup of buttermilk.

Whole Milk: 1/2 cup of evaporated milk plus 1/2 cup of water equals 1 cup of whole milk.

Butter Extract found Baking/Spice Isle.

Answer 2

Buttermilk is the liquid that remains after the butter has been separated from whole milk. Most commercially produced buttermilk is cultured buttermilk manufactured by adding lactic acid bacteria to a non-fat or low-fat milk. Buttermilk, which is often thought of as "sour milk" and is a common ingredient in recipes, can be created in a substitute form by adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar with 3/4 to 1 cup of whole or soy milk. Another substitution option includes adding 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar to 1 cup of milk.

Answer 3

Buttermilk is basically sour milk.. you can make your own by adding a teaspoon of (white) vinegar to a glass of milk... buttermilk is mostly used for baking..

Answer 4

I have a hunch that "butter extract" is the same as the "imitation butter flavor" that you can find in the spice area at the store. It will be with the other liquid flavorings, like vanilla and almond.
