So what is the difference that buttermilk makes? It is just that
the cultures provide a bit of extra leavening as well as a bit of
sourness? Does it make sense that recipes that use self rising
flour use sweet milk and those with AP flour use buttermilk?
Yes, the buttermilk is for leavening. A bit of less than tasty
flavor comes from baking powder. If you use AP flour, you can use
baking soda and buttermilk instead.
