Make It Yourself-butter
From keni 15 years agoIngredients
- 1pt heavy(whipping) cream*, chilled shopping list
- pinch of salt shopping list
- *half and half or other milk products, including soy or rice milk, etc, will not work shopping list
How to make it
- Pour cream into mixer bowl then add salt and mix on medium-medium high for about 10 minutes(if you have a stand mixer, you can walk away from this for about the first 10 minutes, but don't lose track of time!)
- During the first 10 minutes or so, you will see the cream go from a liquid to a whipped cream look then it will "break down" not be very pretty at all. That's what it's meant to do, so don't worry! ;)
- It will separate into liquid and solid all at once, suddenly, so be ready or you'll end up with "buttermilk" all over your kitchen. ;)
- The salt is important because it will help the butter keep, longer. I buy unsalted butter for use in baking, etc, but I use homemade salted butter(kept at room temperature in my "butter keeper" for toast, bread, and all "at the table" needs!
- Also, it's very important to store your butter as oxygen free as you can. It absorbs odors so easily, so keep it wrapped and in a tight container in the fridge, or a butter keeper out of it.
- ***1pt of cream should yield about 1/2lb of butter(1 cup) and 1cup of liquid***
