1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot, but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is completely dissolved.
4. Add the vanilla extract and buttermilk to the cream mixture, stirring until smooth.
5. Divide the mixture evenly among 6 ramekins, small cups, or jars. Allow them to cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap and refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
6. While the panna cotta is chilling, toss the sliced strawberries in a bowl with the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 20-30 minutes to macerate, stirring occasionally.
7. To serve, run a knife around the edge of each panna cotta and carefully invert onto a plate (optional). Alternatively, serve directly in the ramekins or jars. Spoon the sweetened strawberries over the top of each panna cotta and enjoy immediately.
