If you want it to last, just squeeze it 2/3 times in cold water changing the water until it shows clear in order to release the rest of the butter milk that wouldn't come out otherwise. Then add some salt, mix, give a shape, refrigerate and enjoy. If you skip the step of cleaning it in the cold water it is not going to last so much and salt also helps preserving it.
This is all good as I recently done this & I don't have a mixing machine so put the double cream into a plastic container with a spoon in it too, then just waved it around for ten minutes. In my experience 600g of D-cream will give around 300g of butter leaving 200g of butter milk. Financially it's better to buy cream nearly out of date because D-cream can cost more then actual butter.
@@antoniogalluccio4213 no it's in the bowl because butter is sticky, but the exact grams was 309g butter & 210g milk so total 519g so the 81g is stuck to the bowl, anyway this was my first attempt maybe I'll do better next time & use a different more efficient bowl or method.
When I was a girl, that was my job to make the butter, after I had walked across the fields to the farm house to buy two gallons of fresh milk from the cow. We didn't have an electric mixer in those days, but we had grandma's old fashioned egg beater. It took much more time and a lot of arm muscle to whip the cream which had to be separated from the milk. Mother did have the cream separator which made life easier, but to a ten year old girl I just took everything in stride and did my butter task for the week. Oh that butter on the home made bread, and those fresh potatoes from the "'tater garden" and the freshly killed chicken from the coop...fried in a black cast iron frying pan with two inches of butter and lard...nothin' like that taste on the planet. That was back when we ate what we thought was good, and we never heard about cholesterol...same for pie crust...half butter/half lard. Cheers...March 14, 2018.
When I was a kid the adults would keep us busy before holiday dinners making the butter. Somebody would just put cream from our cow in a mason jar and we'd take turns shaking it. By the time dinner was ready, we'd have fresh butter. When my kids were little, I carried on the tradition. It was great when they'd have friends over, then they didn't get so tired. (I had a similar trick for ice cream)
There was only one step missing. Place a bowl of water in the fridge until it gets very cold. Then use cheesecloth to wrap the butter. Place it in the bowl of cold water and squeeze gently to wash the butter and remove the excess buttermilk. It is the buttermilk that will make the butter go off too soon. Now your new butter will last much longer. Hope this tip helps. 👍👍
I always wash the butter in cold water to get all the cream/buttermilk out of the butter. That will allow the butter to last a bit longer without going bad.
@@JacReviewsStuff butter is fat and is insoluble in cold water, washing it in cold water will purify the butter as it takes away the buttermilk and just leaves butter. the taste will be more buttery and less buttermilky.
I'm 70, lived on a small farm. We would milk the cows by hand, strain milk thru clean towel into pasteurizer. Large container with a electric probe in center. Heat for 25 minutes. Cream rises to top. Skim off cream. Put cream in quart jar with lid. Watch cartoons in black and white while shaking jar. In 20 minutes you have a quart of butter. Simple back then.
My grandmother made it by putting the cream in a 2 quart jar with a lid. I shook up a lot of butter when I was young. I can still remember what breakfast smelled like at her house.
Well, made my first block of butter yesterday! Turned out just like you said it would! My family are well impressed! I forgot to inform them how easy it was to do 🤪🤩
I love making this for holiday dinners. Add thyme or rosemary, a little salt. Then I use cookie cutters and stamps to make it pretty. Looks a lot nicer at the table than just a tub.
You can use regular whole milk, too. Let the milk sit out of the frig for maybe 1/2 a day (it will get slightly sour). Pour into a jar and close lid tightly. Shake the jar until butter forms into a ball. Drain it and rinse under cold running water. Rinse and squeeze til no more milk comes out. Add some salt to taste. I used this recipe with my 1st grade class . They loved helping to shake the jar. It takes a little longer with whole milk. Leaving the milk out to slightly sour makes for a more delicious butter. I believe this is how the French and Irish make their expensive butter.
This is actually a fantastic way to save milk somebody forgot out, I have 2 small children so I'm sure I'll be making butter like this fairly soon lol Thank you!
in some place the heavy cream is more cost effective than the butter ... and with buttermilk as a left over it makes awesome bread and pancakes and coffee cake .. and is also good in strong coffee too ... works awesome in peanut butter cookies as well ... as for salt addition ... i would use about a 1/4 teaspoon for the amount shown in the video
A word of advise from a woman who grew up on a farm in Oklahoma - after squeezing the rest of the buttermilk out, rinse the butter in cold water while squishing it in your hands to remove even more buttermilk and extend the life of the butter. We made butter in a jar when I was growing up.We used raw milk so we would just skim it off the top after letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours. We would fill a jar half full of cream and shake it at a pace of one hard shake per second. This would usually create butter in a minute or so if done right.
Java Man! We didn't use a mixer. We filled a jar half full of cream and shook it at the pace of about one hard shake per second. If you just shake it back and forth it doesn't work as well and takes longer for the butter to form.
We made it in kindergarten in Mason jars. By the time "we got butter" naturally it was the best we'd ever tasted. Hint: A little salt makes it taste much better.
This is my third time making this butter. It's great on freshly made stove top popcorn! For whatever reason it doesn't get soaked into the popcorn making the popcorn soggy like the store bought butter. YUM!!
I've done this at home with a hand electric mixer. It works and it's really easy. I took the extra step of rinsing it with plain water afterward and I drank the milk
When I was a young tike (3 or 4 years old) back in the 60's my Grandparents were still getting milk and cream delivered. They had a butter churn and one of my morning chores was to make the butter for breakfast and we use the butter milk to make the biscuits. I hated it then, but as an adult I miss it and the taste.
Absolutely works! We have a Faberware mixer so it took longer to form (about 10 minutes) and separate because our High speed wasn't as high as a Kitchen Aid mixer but the outcome was PERFECT. Did exactly as shown in this video.
I've been making butter for years and I've discovered a couple of brilliant hacks. First off, contrary to what I've read on many of these sites, it is not faster to make butter from room temperature cream. If you stick the carton in the freezer and wait until it's frozen, you can let it set out just until it thaws. It thaws amazingly quickly, just shake the carton, you can hear when it's thawed. I pour it into a lidded jar and just shake it, It takes roughly 3 minutes to separate from the buttermilk into little 'balls'. I pour the contents of the jar into a sieve, then using my handheld faucet sprayer and COLD water, I rinse the butter thoroughly through the sieve and drain well. There is no way to squeeze all the buttermilk out of the butter and it's the buttermilk that causes the butter to go rancid so quickly. rinsing it before you gather it into a ball rinses virtually all the buttermilk out and almost doubles the shelf life of your butter. I'm just sayin'
And I am so glad that finally it is more common knowledge that cream butter is not only delicious, but also healthy. It contains good fats, vitamin D and fights heart disease. But cows that have been fed corn or grains and are kept mostly indoors produce less healthy dairy as do cows that feed in the open on grass and herbs. But that also goes for the meat. Meat from grain/corn fed cows have virtually no Omega 3 fat, but they do have higher unhealthy Omega 6.
Love your video and getting right to it. We were taught this simple procedure growing up in the fifties. Mom did it all from baking, building, canning, sewing, cleaning, camping and yes playing
My mom always warned me as a kid when I wanted to help out with cooking by beating the whipping cream; "You don't want to beat it for too long, as it will become butter." It's strange to me that alot of people don't know about this - it's a kitchen-life hack that is so deceptively simple that everybody should know about it!
when l was a kid, long time ago, l made butter with my grandma, fresh cow milk, skim off the cream, put in a mason jar, and start shaking it, a few minutes a pinch of salt, got butter, drain off the buttermilk drink it, shape it put in cold water..we never had icebox or even power, anything like that, and kept the butter down a well in a bucket...
@@unapologeticallyme8513 Yup, three or four of us would take turns shaking the (Large Pickle Jar???) until it was a big chunk then run into the kitchen to have mom check it. Usually, not quite enough so back to the shaking. God I miss that.
easy peasy... I always look after cream in my local store that is 50% off just a couple of days before Expiration dates, then I do have the best of both worlds: REAL Butter, Buttermilk, AND Cheaper then Butter!
@@carolmckenny5642 make sure the cream is really fresh cream with an percentage of fat above of 35%.out of one liter of this cream I can extract some 450 grams of real good butter
true.., so many things can be made at home.. take mayonnaise for example.. easy peasy... yogurt, sour cream, just to name a few. most peeps have been brainwashed over the years to believe something must come in a package, jar or can to be edible...
Sir, This was really wonderful presentation. I would wash it with ice-cold water, 2-4 times, after the butter is made. This would remove impurities from the fresh butter and the shelf life increases considerably. Just my 2 cents worth.
Wow.......I've always wanted to know how to make butter. I really appreciate all that you've taught me, and wanted to thank you. I have several pages of 2-3 ingredient recipes, and I love them!!
It's Christmas Day. Merry Christmas! I just made your butter. It was so easy !!! Thank you so much! Then I made homemade bread in bread machine to go with Christmas dinner.
Boil the milk very good...and let it cool...some cream will come on top and sides of the pot...scoop it and keep gathering in freezer. Thats it...when you get the required quantity, use it.
Store-bought butter sometimes has a slightly salty flavor. (which I like) Any idea on the amount of salt to put in your 600ml recipe to get that slight flavor without ruining it with too much?
@@jonathancouturier2695 -- So do you wash/rinse the butter, then add the salt and blend it with the blender again? Everyone is talking about adding salt, but I don't know when to do that.....thank you!
Well that wasn't so difficult was it? Lovely homemade butter! The best. Why exactly do you have 1.5K thumbs down? Haters on a food channel? Butter? I didn't know that butter was so controversial.
Learning how to make butter was one of the first things we were taught in Kindergarten in Canada back in the sixties. One empty jar, Cream, salt. Shake it until it is butter. The kids took turns shaking the jar. It probably took about twenty minutes or so. Making butter was usually the chore for the tiniest members of a farming family because its so easy to make if you were big enough to hold on and shake a jar or use a churn. It takes no strength just time. o🍁
We did the same thing in my kindergarten in Kentucky in the early seventies….I still remember putting it on crackers after we were done. It tasted so good. Great memories.
I'm Danish and I know without a doubt....that's not butter. That is PURE heaven! A bonus to squeezing out the remainder of the buttermilk and shaping it? The super soft hands you have. Better than anything you can buy. .....all the way around.
I remember briefly helping my mother to make butter as an eight year old little boy during a visit to my grandmother in Ireland. I'm 65 now so this is waaay in the past. Milk from the cows into buckets and then into a wooden churn. Agitating it for what seemed like ages before it turned to butter. Funnily enough I have always really disliked all dairy products but this did at least trigger a nice memory. RIP Mum & Nanny
It is unlikely that butter could be generated by churning whole milk - many homes had a hand-cranked separator to first make cream. It was this cream that was then added to churns to make butter. I may be wrong!
@@teacheng3795 I just recall also that the other way to get cream in homes without a separator was just to rest the milk overnight, the cream rises to the top and then is scooped into the churn.
We made this when I was in college but we did it by hand. Sat in groups of three hand whisking the cream until it inverted. So you beat it until your arm went numb and then passed it on. Doing it by hand takes about 30 minutes but it's extremely satisfying when it did invert as it just starts and then a few seconds later the process is finished. Tastes delicious though.
When I was a kid back in the 50's, we milked our own cows and kept the cream in cans. It got sour, of course, but I would have to churn the butter in an old paddle butter churn. The best part was the buttermilk It was salted and still had little chips of butter in it. I can still taste it in my mind. I thought I would try to recreate that memory with homogenized cream. Didn't work. No matter how long I mixed it in the mixer, it never made butter. The last time I had real buttermilk was in Jacksonville, Florida back in the early 60's when I was in the navy. I got a glass from a street vendor. Yum. yum.
I love it! How simple. We have another food processor and it takes so much longer to make and a lot of hand squeezing to get the buttermilk out - but oh so worth it ❤️❤️❤️
After I pull my butter out of the buttermilk, I squeeze it together, but I do it under cool running water to wash the butter milk out a bit more than just squeezing alone. Thanks for sharing your recipe with everyone.
In Normandy, Northern France and Wales, United Kingdom, we tend to add about 3% of salt (English salted butter is only about 1.7% salt). Salt is a preservative so it lasts a lot longer that way.
I am 72. My father is 98. His parents had a farm. They churned their own butter. They had a separator in their shed. My uncle and his wife lived on that farm after my grandfather had passed. A separator removed the cream from the milk. The cream came to the top. That’s what was done “in the old days”.
Thanks for this video. My wife and I have been making butter this way for a while now (we even have the same mixer you use), but I noticed you put half as much cream in the bowl😊 as we were using. I tried doing the same, and got a much better separation of the butter and buttermilk.
I love your video. Thank you for this. I noticed that you didn't make a comment regarding a salted version. And, I wondered, if someone preferred salted butter, what would the measurement be and at what point should it be added??? ❤❤❤
Before you get all excited and run off the buy heavy whipping cream(at least in the U.S.) pick up that carton and read the ingredients. Now do the same for the Butter in the store. Cured me real fast of the urge to make butter thinking it's somehow better. It's still a fun project, just know what you are working with. Fun story: We were having shortcake and my sister was making whipped cream with the mixer. She got distracted and it turned into butter. Sweet, vanilla flavored butter, which was pretty good actually.
I enjoyed this video and went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. Instead of buying full cream and milk, I bought 280ml of non salted butter costs less than the ingredients and I selected within a minute.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks! It's just so real...pure and simple. Takes me back to before I was born.. weird ..a butter vid has put me in touch with my self. Not kidding. For real. I feel this way now.
you can also use a food processor, or if you are a glutton for punishment like me, a glass jar and 30- 45 minutes later of shaking will work great. I love to drink the sweet milk left over it's sooooo gooooood
I might suggest that for a pure-er butter, or more 'commercial' grade you add the step of rinsing the butter in COLD water for a minute or so, and as you did: Lightly kneading the moisture away. I'm not sure if (Australia?) salts their butter as Canada does (it's available salted or unsalted regardless) but should one desire, the salt (or sea-salt) can be kneaded in straight after the cold-water rinse. Also great video dude :)
adding salt just as it starts to split will extend the shelf life out to a month. also if you like softer butter , add a few tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil to the whisk at the last minute.
John Barrett My mother way back in the 1950s used a hand beater to turn cream seperate from milk the day before. We lived on a mixed farm, had cattle, a hand separator and the separated cream was SET in a kerosene burning fridge. What joy it was to have FRESH MADE BUTTER. This does not mention a scoop of set cream on oat porridge.
forget the 3-minute version: I made butter in 80 seconds with my Blendtec blender: milk ANY temperature BELOW body temperature, any amount that will fit the blender: turn on at high, don't walk away, and it will be ready in as short as 80 seconds! Fresh goat's or cow's milk will do...no homogenized junk...although THAT WILL WORK, too. Season with sea salt.
in Morocco where I lived for many years the farmers would make butter and sell it the same day. we needed to use two wooden paddles or you could use your hands to squeeze the excess cream out of the butter or it will spoil within 24 hours. I have been making my own butter a long time and except for Christmas time but I continue to make my own.
Hot Damn, I need to try this. My brother and I go thru about a pound a week or so. Thanks. And I even have that attachment on my mixer. You know what they say..."every things better with butter." :)
What would you like to see me cook next? :D

@@unapologeticallyme8513 Yup, three or four of us would take turns shaking the (Large Pickle Jar???) until it was a big chunk then run into the kitchen to have mom check it. Usually, not quite enough so back to the shaking. God I miss that.
@@kennethdandurand3472 that's so awesome ♡ ...now I want to make popcorn with home made butter mmmm lol
....Never thought I would see a video on how to make butter. God I must be old.
lol :D
Haha😂😂
lol you are not alone!!!
You're getting smart !
Same
easy peasy... I always look after cream in my local store that is 50% off just a couple of days before
Expiration dates, then I do have the best of both worlds: REAL Butter, Buttermilk, AND Cheaper then Butter!
Living in Malta Butter here costs between 2.50 and 7 euros Im gonna try making my own it would be a lot cheaper and tasty
@@carolmckenny5642 make sure the cream is really fresh cream with an percentage of fat above of 35%.out of one liter of this cream I can extract some 450 grams of real good butter
My friend, thank you for this golden knowledge. No words can describe my appreciation.
Thank you 💙💙💋✌
Nice! A tip is to add some salt flakes! Tastes amazing on fresh baked bread! Only downside is that it turns into solid rock in the fridge..
Amazing how much base ingredients can be made at home.
Feeding: Many times my cream went to trash because I didn't need it at the moment; no more waste...
Karina` Smith
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! you throw out the cream? What about a nice mushroom sauce or cannoli?
true.., so many things can be made at home.. take mayonnaise for example.. easy peasy... yogurt, sour cream, just to name a few.
most peeps have been brainwashed over the years to believe something must come in a package, jar or can to be edible...
Rufo Rufo the cream is bought at the store. People just like convenience.
Sir, This was really wonderful presentation. I would wash it with ice-cold water, 2-4 times, after the butter is made. This would remove impurities from the fresh butter and the shelf life increases considerably. Just my 2 cents worth.
what is ingredients. I can't understand this video pls tell me
Are you telling me I had to literally drive 10 minutes for nothing when I could of just made this in my house
Could have? Yes, if you have cream!
😂😂🙈🙉that's what I said smh
ITS SO TASTY
😂😂😂😂
Lol right?! I thought there was so much more to it!
Wow.......I've always wanted to know how to make butter. I really appreciate all that you've taught me, and wanted to thank you. I have several pages of 2-3 ingredient recipes, and I love them!!
That's so amazing, it makes me want to Make some, I never thought of making my own, thankyou 😀
i told my mom but she didn’t
It's Christmas Day. Merry Christmas! I just made your butter. It was so easy !!! Thank you so much! Then I made homemade bread in bread machine to go with Christmas dinner.
Haha, my daughter makes butter every time she tries to make whipped cream!
Tries?
@joelabo im sure we can arrange something for him.
C caymer lol tf
😆😆😆
Lol🤣🤣
Now the real question is. How do I make cream?
Put butter in mixer, turn mixer on in reverse.
Anthony Thorp ah thanks didn’t realise
Get yourself a cow, of course!
Boil the milk very good...and let it cool...some cream will come on top and sides of the pot...scoop it and keep gathering in freezer. Thats it...when you get the required quantity, use it.
If you are a male, just play with yourself for a few minutes.
Store-bought butter sometimes has a slightly salty flavor. (which I like)
Any idea on the amount of salt to put in your 600ml recipe to get that slight flavor without ruining it with too much?
I tried a teaspoon and didn’t mind it. This was after I rinsed through water three times
@@jonathancouturier2695 -- So do you wash/rinse the butter, then add the salt and blend it with the blender again? Everyone is talking about adding salt, but I don't know when to do that.....thank you!
@@jonathancouturier2695 How would you even be able to distribute salt throughout the butter when it is a hard brick?
Well that wasn't so difficult was it? Lovely homemade butter! The best. Why exactly do you have 1.5K thumbs down? Haters on a food channel? Butter? I didn't know that butter was so controversial.
It's just a button
Probably vegans. Don't you know milk/cream/butter is a murder? :D
@@michalvalta5231 it isn't... Animals aren't hurt while milking them 🤦 I don't get why veganism is a thing but
Tom MacEgan lol
Probably vegans!
1:24am... I should sleep.
TH-cam: would you like to watch a video about how to make butter?
Me: Okay
😹😹😹😹😹😹
1.14 am, lol
6:23AM here... I don't know what to do in life anymore 😂😂😂
Great to get an Aussie giving lessons, at least we can relate to the products and the language. I’m a subscriber, just keep cooking.
Learning how to make butter was one of the first things we were taught in Kindergarten in Canada back in the sixties. One empty jar, Cream, salt. Shake it until it is butter. The kids took turns shaking the jar. It probably took about twenty minutes or so. Making butter was usually the chore for the tiniest members of a farming family because its so easy to make if you were big enough to hold on and shake a jar or use a churn. It takes no strength just time.

We did the same thing in my kindergarten in Kentucky in the early seventies….I still remember putting it on crackers after we were done. It tasted so good. Great memories.
I was taught to rinse the butter in cold water while squeezing, gets more of the buttermilk out.
perfect for cheese making.
Yeah, thats how we'd do the final rinsing. We'd drain it first because we saved and used the buttermilk for baking.
The cold water rinse gets more of the butter milk out and keeps the butter from spoiling as fast.
I'm Danish and I know without a doubt....that's not butter.
That is PURE heaven!
A bonus to squeezing out the remainder of the buttermilk and shaping it? The super soft hands you have. Better than anything you can buy. .....all the way around.
I remember briefly helping my mother to make butter as an eight year old little boy during a visit to my grandmother in Ireland. I'm 65 now so this is waaay in the past.
Milk from the cows into buckets and then into a wooden churn. Agitating it for what seemed like ages before it turned to butter.
Funnily enough I have always really disliked all dairy products but this did at least trigger a nice memory.
RIP Mum & Nanny
It is unlikely that butter could be generated by churning whole milk - many homes had a hand-cranked separator to first make cream. It was this cream that was then added to churns to make butter. I may be wrong!
@@teacheng3795 I just recall also that the other way to get cream in homes without a separator was just to rest the milk overnight, the cream rises to the top and then is scooped into the churn.
We made this when I was in college but we did it by hand.
Sat in groups of three hand whisking the cream until it inverted.
So you beat it until your arm went numb and then passed it on. Doing it by hand takes about 30 minutes but it's extremely satisfying when it did invert as it just starts and then a few seconds later the process is finished.
Tastes delicious though.
When I was a kid back in the 50's, we milked our own cows and kept the cream in cans. It got sour, of course, but I would have to churn the butter in an old paddle butter churn. The best part was the buttermilk It was salted and still had little chips of butter in it. I can still taste it in my mind. I thought I would try to recreate that memory with homogenized cream. Didn't work. No matter how long I mixed it in the mixer, it never made butter. The last time I had real buttermilk was in Jacksonville, Florida back in the early 60's when I was in the navy. I got a glass from a street vendor. Yum. yum.
Merlyn Schutterle I genuinely wish I was from the 50’s. Everything seemed so much more simple before advanced technology came out
So, what percentage fat was that homogenized cream?
Use pure raw milk 🐄 ... store bought is full of chemicals
I love it! How simple. We have another food processor and it takes so much longer to make and a lot of hand squeezing to get the buttermilk out - but oh so worth it ❤️❤️❤️
I've heard about how it's made but nothing like actually watching it being made. Thanks!
After I pull my butter out of the buttermilk, I squeeze it together, but I do it under cool running water to wash the butter milk out a bit more than just squeezing alone. Thanks for sharing your recipe with everyone.
In Normandy, Northern France and Wales, United Kingdom, we tend to add about 3% of salt (English salted butter is only about 1.7% salt). Salt is a preservative so it lasts a lot longer that way.
I can’t believe it’s that easy. This is insane. Why am I here? I’m going to be so huge when we get out.
There's no shame in gaining a few from eating good food, that you even made yourself. Ever seen a skinny chef?
I am 72. My father is 98. His parents had a farm. They churned their own butter. They had a separator in their shed. My uncle and his wife lived on that farm after my grandfather had passed. A separator removed the cream from the milk. The cream came to the top. That’s what was done “in the old days”.
Came here for BTS butter, but instead got this. Not disappointed
Thanks for this video. My wife and I have been making butter this way for a while now (we even have the same mixer you use), but I noticed you put half as much cream in the bowl😊 as we were using. I tried doing the same, and got a much better separation of the butter and buttermilk.
I love your video. Thank you for this.
I noticed that you didn't make a comment regarding a salted version. And, I wondered, if someone preferred salted butter, what would the measurement be and at what point should it be added??? ❤❤❤
Man, I don't know if it's because I'm stoned, but that mixer seemed to go on for hours, man.
lol :D
I thought so too! Yet, I don’t smoke. 😂
You were stuck in a Time Warp, this is the year 2132
I was slightly drunk but, yes it was an experience
🤣 🤣
Before you get all excited and run off the buy heavy whipping cream(at least in the U.S.) pick up that carton and read the ingredients. Now do the same for the Butter in the store. Cured me real fast of the urge to make butter thinking it's somehow better. It's still a fun project, just know what you are working with. Fun story: We were having shortcake and my sister was making whipped cream with the mixer. She got distracted and it turned into butter. Sweet, vanilla flavored butter, which was pretty good actually.
I enjoyed this video and went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. Instead of buying full cream and milk, I bought 280ml of non salted butter costs less than the ingredients and I selected within a minute.
Great idea to make homemade pure butter...thanks.
Greetings from Canada⚀
At which point would you suggest putting salt, for salted butter? And how much would you suggest for this amount of cream? Thanks :D
After you have separated it from the buttermilk , then you may add any flavouring.
+Yashvardhan Rautela thank you
+Yashvardhan Rautela Add some garlic and herbs to it.
The amounts, depends on your Tastebuds, and how you like it! :) Start with a little, taste it, add more as needed!
+Sicarius Peremo thank you
nobody:
youtube recommendations after watching me search "butter" more than 1000 times today:
I found this while looking up the butters theme from South Park
Thank you for showing such easy method of this process.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks! It's just so real...pure and simple. Takes me back to before I was born.. weird ..a butter vid has put me in touch with my self. Not kidding. For real. I feel this way now.
Thanks :D
Smooth like butter like a criminal undercover 🧈
Get it, let it, roll
BTS LETS GO
Would you recommend squeezing the butter inside a cheese cloth?
I've used cheese clothe it works well.
Nice! I like salted butter. At what point do I add it? Thank you so much!
First thing to do is.
Make some buttermilk pancakes and spread some of that butter on top.
IIGrayfoxII using that butter milk,, I will have to do that lol
Butter : Get it , Let it Roll !
I did it in my blender. Super easy.
What brand of cream did you use?
How did it turn out?
Simple and good recipes always. We loves that you cares for your little girl. God YHVH Bless and keep you and your family.
Make it even easier on yourself and line the container with plastic wrap. Chill it nicely, then pop it out onto a butter dish! Love fresh butter❤
Lexi Love and how many ounces of butter comes out of 600 ml of cream?🤔
If you want salted butter, when do you add the salt and how much?
Me too!
They teach us f all in school. Thank you
Day 406 of quarantine Ate so much of the home made butter ketones are a solid 8. Yummy ,!
i am 13years old i start cooking from you thankyou
Daniel Covey you are a disgusting grub
good girl you'll make a good wife someday.
Awesome. :)
humera Shaikh ok
That's the attitude!!!!
I use salted butter. What amounts would need to be added to produce a salted butter stick?
Add a small amount and taste it. Add more if required.
Baaaddaahhhhhhhh!
Grego!
:D :D
how
Greg's Kitchen how are you Greg hope your well man have you made homemade butter ?
it's Grego!
Absolutely brilliant video and I’m certainly going to try this recipe 👍✅
you can also use a food processor, or if you are a glutton for punishment like me, a glass jar and 30- 45 minutes later of shaking will work great. I love to drink the sweet milk left over it's sooooo gooooood
I made it this morning. Yummy :D
When do you add the salt, how much salt and what kind?
Thanks so much chef I learned how to make butter today, can use this homemade butter to bake scones etc?
I'll have to try this when I get back from vacation.
TY
Hello how are you doing
I might suggest that for a pure-er butter, or more 'commercial' grade you add the step of rinsing the butter in COLD water for a minute or so, and as you did: Lightly kneading the moisture away. I'm not sure if (Australia?) salts their butter as Canada does (it's available salted or unsalted regardless) but should one desire, the salt (or sea-salt) can be kneaded in straight after the cold-water rinse.
Also great video dude :)
Yes Australia has buckets of both both salted and unsalted. I personally buy salted cos I love salt!!
Thanks for the tip! was wondering when to put it in.
adding salt just as it starts to split will extend the shelf life out to a month. also if you like softer butter , add a few tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil to the whisk at the last minute.
Yip - I thought he missed the salt part!
And the sugar
Thank you!
Thank you.
The "thumbs down" haters are just jealous because they don't have a mixer.
: )
Thats not fair prep... There is another way to do it i thought he.might do it that way...
John Barrett My mother way back in the 1950s used a hand beater to turn cream seperate from milk the day before.
We lived on a mixed farm, had cattle, a hand separator and the separated cream was SET in a kerosene burning fridge.
What joy it was to have FRESH MADE BUTTER.
This does not mention a scoop of set cream on oat porridge.
IKR HAHAHA
There is this thing called a butter churn smartie pants
Not really, gay cowboy.
forget the 3-minute version: I made butter in 80 seconds with my Blendtec blender: milk ANY temperature BELOW body temperature, any amount that will fit the blender: turn on at high, don't walk away, and it will be ready in as short as 80 seconds! Fresh goat's or cow's milk will do...no homogenized junk...although THAT WILL WORK, too. Season with sea salt.
Boiled or raw milk
in Morocco where I lived for many years the farmers would make butter and sell it the same day. we needed to use two wooden paddles or you could use your hands to squeeze the excess cream out of the butter or it will spoil within 24 hours. I have been making my own butter a long time and except for Christmas time but I continue to make my own.
Amazing.
Moroccan Citizen amazing? I forgot to ask laabas? :-)
labas shokran o enti.? i can imagine the sound of your accent while saying that. precious
Ana l'maghrebia, Ana Zaioia, Ana Merikania.:-) chukran
Everybody laughed when I spoke because they thought it was so cute that I spoke some Arabic and Moroccan Arabic darija
Thanks will try!
I’ve made this before, so easy and really good. Plus you can separate some for herb butter.
Hot Damn, I need to try this. My brother and I go thru about a pound a week or so. Thanks. And I even have that attachment on my mixer. You know what they say..."every things better with butter." :)
Army here!??
Yes
Comes from the butter😂😂
I would like to make herbed butter, can I add the herbs while it's being mixed?
Him feeling the butter
No one
Me: smooth like butter
SAME
Holy moly Yummy 0:10
Git it lit it roll
Oh due to the teaser
Thank you so much. If I wanted it a bit salty, when do you add the salt and hiw much.
