Home made butter 🧈 #shorts

Ingredients

- 600ml cream (you want a high fat % one)
- 0.5 tablespoon smoked sea salt (or any salt of your choice)

Method

1. Pour the cream into a stand mixer and, with the whisk attached, whisk until you have very thick whipped cream, this will take about 8-10 minutes.
2. Remove the whisk attachment and add the paddle attachment and mix again for about 8-10 minutes or until the mixture separates into butter and buttermilk.
3. Press together the butter (and keep the buttermilk for weekend pancakes). Rinse the butter in ice-cold water 3 times before you season it with salt.
4. Then wrap it in paper and keep it in the fridge until you need it. It will last a week no problem!

It's funny cause when I used to whip cream my mom always said: "stop! You don't want it to turn to butter ". I always thought that was a hyperbole. Later on I found out that's exactly how you make butter 😂

The paddle attachment idea is a game changer! Thats awesome.

I've done this with just a pint carton of heavy cream. Leave the carton sealed and start shaking. When you stop hearing liquid sloshing, you have whipped cream. If that's what you're looking for, stop now. If you want butter, keep shaking. As soon as you hear one big lump of something thumping around and more sloshing, you've got butter, and buttermilk. And it took less than 5 minutes.

Tip: remove the buttermilk before the butter comes together completely. Cuts the rinsing time by 3 4ths.

So you're telling me a home made that butter

I love cultured butter. Inoculate the cream with yogurt buttermilk culture and let stand at room temp for 24 hrs. Chill again before churning. Flakey salt at 3%. Mind blowing.

First did this 40 years ago with a Kenwood chef. The big snag nowadays is it is more expensive to buy the cream than it is to buy good quality butter.

You’ve got to make sure to always wash your homemade butter thoroughly with cold water to help it last longer! The buttermilk is what makes it go bad faster. I’ve learnt this from experience 😅. Also if you don’t want to use a whisk then you can use a plastic box and a marble! Yours turned out great chef! My first time making butter was a bit messy 😂
Still waiting on the Cantonese family style dinner for Heun Wah please chef!

Back before all these kitchen gadgets, my grandmother would hand all us grandkids mason jars full of cream, and tell us to shake them until she tells us to stop. Butter.

My grandparents were 99.9% self sufficient for food, only going to the store for bread. They had cows, hogs, chickens, honey bees, and a massive garden that was canned. Not many do that these days.

i agree with Mitch, before this, i never knew you could make butter like this!! 🧈

I did this by mistake once! I was making whipped cream and walked away for a second, got distracted and then ended up with this sweet vanilla flavor butter. After my little oops I then added a little cinnamon and enjoyed it on toast!

That paddle attachment trick is truly something, I’ll have to remember it for next time.
I haven’t needed a whole stand mixer for butter because I usually get it from the store, but when I only need a little and can’t be bothered to go to the store, I put some heavy cream in an empty water bottle and shake away.

If you don't have a mixer and don't want to whisk your arm off, you can put the cream into a clean glass jar with a lid that seals tightly and just shake that until it's clumpy. I grew up on a tiny farm that had cows and this was foolproof.

I agree did not know there would be all that water. Growing up we went to Tennessee every summer to visit Granny and family she made in a wooden churn it took a long everyone had a turn at making the butter incredibly amazing yummy. Thank you for sharing chef Andy 😋 didn't have electric mixer 70 +years ago boy that would have been so much easier
😂😂😂. 👋👋 Mitch. I love this video. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

Growimg up, mom milked our cows and made butter but she cheated. Dad had a drill prezd in our shop. Mom put a paint stirrer on it and left it on to make her butter when she was working on something else closeby. Same idea here. Nice.

Your butter will only be as good as your cream is, so most of the time it probably makes the most sense to just buy high quality butter from the store. But it can be fun to make your own butter though! Just make sure to use the best cream you can find.

This has quickly become the most useful and entertaining channel in my feed

Looks good. Remember, keep in the refrigerator. Shorter shelf life than commercial butter.

[lioness]

Think I'll start doing this since butter is damn expensive these days! Lol

[angelao]

Awesome! w/ rosemary, even better!
It's ball park if you blend in a spoon full of homemade strawberry jam for homemade waffles & pancakes for your next brunch! 😊
