Luscious buttermilk is a tangy cultured milk product made by adding healthful bacteria to whole or low-fat milk. It has a slightly thick, creamlike consistency and gentle acidity that make an excellent tenderizer in muffins and quick breads. Recipes using buttermilk usually call for baking soda, an alkaline leavener that reacts with the acidity in buttermilk.

Excellent for baking, walnut oil was once a specialty item but is now commonly sold in well-stocked supermarkets. The subtly flavored oil is extracted from raw walnut meat and is very nutritious and high in unsaturated fat. For this recipe, do not use toasted walnut oil, a favorite in French cooking, as it is not the same as plain walnut oil. To prevent the oil from becoming rancid, store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 months. If you cannot find walnut oil, you may substitute canola oil in this muffin recipe.
