Buttermilk is a cultured, acidic dairy product thicker than milk. Its acidity is vital for reacting with baking soda to create lift. Because of its viscosity, a significant amount clings to measuring cups. Weighing ensures you add the precise amount of acid needed for the chemical leavening reaction.
