Buttermilk is used not only in baking. It is a major ingredient in some recipes for marinating meat or fish, it is used in salad dressings such as ranch, it is used in fritters, in cold soups, etc. And while powdered buttermilk may be an emergency substitute in baking and perhaps some other recipes, it would result in inferior quality substitution.

Reconstituted or blended with the dry ingredients in most baking recipes along with an equivalent amount of water, it works perfectly and stores easily and seemingly indefinitely.
