Homemade Cultured Butter & Buttermilk

We've never realized how easy it was to make your own butter til we tried it! Plus, we got buttermilk out of it too, which are great for pancakes and biscuits!

CULTURED BUTTER & BUTTERMILK

INGREDIENTS
2 cups pasteurized heavy cream (DO NOT use ultra pasteurized)
2 tbs yogurt

1. Mix heavy cream and yogurt. Cover with cloth, and let it sit for 12-24 hours.

2. Before whipping the mixture, let it chill for 30 minutes.

3. The mixture will give huge splatters, so cover your mixer with plastic wrap. Whip the mixture until butter is separated from liquid (this is where the splatter happens).

4. On a large bowl, place a strainer, then a cheesecloth in the strainer. Strain the produced liquid (buttermilk), and squeeze the lump of butter to get excess liquid out.

5. Place the butter in a new bowl and pour a little bit of ice water over it. Knead the butter, and drain water. Repeat this process until water comes out clear (about 6 times).

6. For salted butter, add about 1/2 tsp salt. Squeeze the butter to mix the salt in.

This looks like a good recipe(s) for buttermilk. I tried the whole milk recipe with just adding a tablespoon of 2 of white vinegar...was very weak and thin! This looks good though! Thanks!

does the yogurt you use at the beginning influences the quantity of butter you get at the end ?

What's the difference between cultured butter & butter made directly from the same cream without fermenting it?

I have a question in regards to store bought cultured buttermilk. I keep my fridge extra cold well back in December i bought a half gallon for making bread but didnt get it all used. Its expiration date was dec 23rd. I was going to make bread with it till I looked at the date. I shook the jug up good and hard then opened and have it a sniff and it still smells like it did. Is it still good and does buttermilk really have an expiration date.

Would anyone know.. with this buttermilk I could make mexican cream? (like sour cream) since it has bacteria forming lactic acid from the yogurt?

[kimdoyoung]

If I want to use buttermilk for making other things, do I have to leave the buttermilk first or I can use it right away?

I made some butter using heavy cream and plain yogurt. I let the mixture sit for about 16 hours and it thickened up nicely but the butter that it made tastes a lot like yogurt or sour cream. Is this how it's supposed to taste?

How long can the buttermilk be kept for in the fridge?

Can you use ultrapasteurized cream to make butter

[Deeptisuri]

I tried making the same, but What ever I did the butter didn't separate. I used Organic Horizan Heavy whipping cream It said "Ultra Pasteurized." What do you think went wrong?

[judy]

can we use lemon juice instead of yogurt
