PRO TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE
- Buy a full "block" of blue cheese. This is key—don't buy the pre-crumbled blue cheese. It's not nearly as good. Buy the full block, and crumble it yourself. Trust me.
- Adjust the buttermilk. The amount of buttermilk you add will affect how thin or thick your blue cheese is. I prefer a thicker blue cheese for wings. But if you want to thin it out a little to put it on a salad, add a little more buttermilk until you get it to the consistency you prefer.
