I've never heard of that means of 'making' buttermilk. I do on occasion mix some regular milk with lemon juice and let it sit to use for baking but it is not at all the same. Your mother's way sounds like it would be near the 'real thing'.

I looked up buttermilk after your post, and was surprised to learn it has 1/4ish the fat content of regular milk. For some reason it's being thick, and having that smell, I thought it would have more. Also, it is a good source of pattasiam (mangled spelling). Throw in the calcium, and maybe people should give it a closer look.

My grandfather always had a glass at dinner (lunchtime). He'd crumble his cornbread up in it, take out his teeth and set them on the table, then dig into the glass with a spoon. Perhaps that is my aversion to buttermilk.
