Edited to add the following that I found by doing a search here on this MB.....
"Can buttermilk be frozen? I have a recipe that only needs a few tablespoons, and wondered if the remainder can be frozen for scones at a later date? Quote ambr (220 )1:14 am, Wed 5 Jan #1" "Yes, it can. Quote cookessentials (1156 )7:54 am, Wed 5 Jan #3"

Is the packet been opened? I have used Buttermilk, sour cream and yoghurts that are passed the best before with no trouble at all."Best before date--length of time which an item is suitable for sale. it is the recommended time which a product will remain good.

korbo, I have just found, amongst my huge recipe collection, the following chocolate cake recipe that uses buttermilk - it's from Annabelle White and was shown on the programme “5 O’Clock with Jude Dobson” on TV 1 in 2001.I have not personally tried this recipe.Here's the recipe and the note from Annabelle that accompanied the recipe.....
SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK CAKE You will love this cake.It's so easy to make - everything is prepared in the pot and the addition of Tararua Buttermilk gives it a moist, tangy quality that is just superb.Best of all, this cake actually improves with age.Make it Thursday night and serve it Saturday.The ideal cake for people who like to plan in advance, want great flavour and like to be organised.
cocoa for dusting tin 115g (½ cup) butter 125g dark chocolate 1 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1¾ cups buttermilk 3 eggs, at room temperature 1¾ cups plain flour 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp each ofbaking powderandsalt
Grease a 22cm tin and dust it with cocoa. Heat the butter and chocolate in saucepan.When melted, add sugar and vanilla.Whisk in the buttermilk and eggs.Add dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.Pour batter into the tin. Bake at 180ºCfor40 minutes on normal bake or until a skewer comes out clean.Turn onto a wire rack to cool.Over the cooled cake pour the Icing: 50g each ofbutteranddark chocolate
Heat the butter and chocolate together in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Hope that helps.:-))
