All this talk about buscuits, so I just made some for 
lunch! We are running seriously low on dry goods and my 
husband is off early from school and is on his way to the 
big city store for me. My buscuits are never that good 
because we don't use shortening or lard, just oil. I was 
just reading the buttermilk label and it looks like 
there's all kinds of additives (!) that look to be 
thickening agents. Whole Foods probably sells the real 
thing for a fortune, but I can't make that trek often.

Of course, I have no idea how real buttermilk is 
made...presumably its some kind of liquid that's poured 
off in the churning of butter? Or is it just soured milk?
