In the olden days in India, households used to make fresh butter by adding yoghurt culture starter to full cream milk at night & then churning the yoghurt curds the next morning to get lovely fresh butter & buttermilk. A typical breakfast used to be piping hot paranthas with a big dollop of the fresh butter & a glassful of buttermilk. So good, tasty & satisfying.
I was so happy to see dan give the REAL ghee receipe, most cooks assume ghee is clearified butter but it's actually clearifired butter where the milk solids have browned.
I've probably seen a hundred butter videos on yt over the past days, not knowing what I'm looking for and having a weird butter obsession to scratch. I'm so happy to find this one for laying everything out so perfectly clear I mean he made me actually understand butter and I'm already so happy with the science part but then it moved on to the kitchen where he actually made it with the slowmo shots of the butter coming to life ugh I am so satisfied I may have licked my screen
We finally brought some culture to our butter this week. Your recipe works perfectly, and the butter is SO GOOD! Thanks! Pro Tip - CostCO cream was about the only option we found for pasteurized, not ultra pasteurized.
One of my most cherished memories is the smell/taste of farm churned cultured butter. My folks often drove us from Alexandria to Lake Charles to visit my dad's side of the family and we always brought back the little rolls we called "frogs" and big chunks of "country butter" wrapped in butcher paper. So far all other butters have not measured up. I tried one unimpressive batch of homemade cultured butter but based on this video I didn't ferment the cream for near long enough. Thanks for another exemplary video, Fran
Finally made this. First time was a learning curve, now its super easy. Man the flavor was really good. We have a local dairy producer that produces an extra fatty heavy cream. I used that and the butter was awesome. I let mine ferment for a week!
I’m making this for the second time. Thank you so much for the info and clear instructions! It’s absolutely delicious and goes great with artisan bread from our local baker!
Dan is great! We used to get fresh, unpasteurised, superb quality milk from the farm next door. Skimming the cream still left you perfectly good milk for drinking - but that fresh cream churned in an old fashioned wooden rig made the best tasting butter I ever had.
finally, a video on what I have been doing for years. Although I just let the butter culture on its own. I WILL try the addition of butter milk this time and see what the results are like.
Been making butter for about 20 years. I put heavy cream, into a 1 quart canning jar, with the buttermilk, or sour cream. (Same bacterium.) When it has clabbered, 48 hours later, in the fridge. I either use it as creme fresh, or turn into butter. steve
I've seen Bon Appétit's "Brad Makes Cultured Butter" video and this is basically the same thing. The difference is after watching Brad I'm left laughing and rolling my eyes. After watching Dan's video I feel like I could do this myself.
I work at a whole food distributors and we’re just had some cream that was about to expire. So I took 25L home to make cultured butter, mascarpone and ice cream. Thanks for the recipe, can’t wait to taste the final product!
What a perfect way to put that. There's been a Babish and Souza video, and a Babish and Leone video. Is there a Dan and Brad video? I'd pay to watch that.
Dan thank you for this video. It is one of the most useful and inspiring ones that I have seen in a longtime. Over the next few weeks I will be working my way through the various things that you have suggested. All the best, keep up your good work. Cheers!
I just love you. And I love butter. And I love how you give everything that "sciency" touch with a sprinkle of humor. And I love the puppy. And now I'm hungry. Because of butter, not the puppy.
I accidentally made butter once. I put whipping cream in the mixer but got distracted and let it mix far too long. When I came back, it was butter! All I had to do was squeeze just a little to get the rest of the water out. I was making rolls, at the time, so I added a bit of cinnamon and sugar to that accidental butter and, oh man, was it delicious! As a kid, I made butter on purpose, with a half gallon glass jar. It was super easy, just time consuming. Put your cream in the jar and shake it back and forth, but purposefully make it "slap" against the ends of the jar. Same concept of a butter churn - just smack the water out!

Mmmm butter!! Off topic I’ve heard using baking soda when cooking dry beans takes away the “gassiness” what’s the science and is it true? Love the artistic science based spin on your videos! Awesome.
I have cream/buttermilk fermenting on the counter and will make this butter recipe along with a beautiful challah bread this Saturday! I can't wait! :-)
I’m so glad i found this playlist! Dan is fantastic and the cinematography is so therapeutic 😊 hope season 2 is on its way soon! **ps: i binged the whole playlist in two days. Good stuff
I've made butter for years, but my oh my, never made "cultured" butter. Going down to my friends house today to get some fresh milk and try this out :) Once again, love your videos!
Generally, the more buttermilk you squeeze out, the longer it will stay fresh! So don't skip this step!! That's why high quality butter keeps longest. 😊
I was pastry chef at a place in Seattle years ago where I made Creme Fraiche 1-3x/week (it was great as an ingredient in ice cream flavored w/booze). I don't have my notes handy, but I believe typical fermentation time was ~3 days and target shelf life was about the same. This was more a labor of love (we didn't need a lot of it, but we'd find uses) because I was interested in it (the owner was great for letting us explore our interests). ANYWAYS...the butter I made w/the leftovers was always - weird. It just didn't ever taste quite right. Though I did make it a few times w/material that was just finished fermenting, and it was pretty decent (though pretty bland overall - salting made a HUGE difference). The butter always went rancid really quickly as well. Washing it right after churning (warming barely to the point it was flowing, drizzling directly into ice cold H2O, kneading well and changing the H2O till it stayed clear, then pressing out all the liquid. To me butter has 2 main qualities - the nuttiness and the clean sweet smoothness. This process made a butter that was beautifully fresh tasting, but lacking on nuttiness. + it went off pretty quickly (not toxic, but not too tasty) Granted, this was made w/commercial cream/buttermilk (Dairygold). I did try some experiments using a Thermophilic starter (aka yoghurt - buttermilk is a Mesophilic). This showed some promise, but I can't remember taking it very far
I make creme fraiche regularly (have some in the fridge right now) but never thought about turning it into cultured butter. .... I'm off to buy more buttermilk.
My grandmother used to make her butter like this and my mom hated it. My mom used to think that she didn’t like butter until she tried sweet cream butter. I remember loving my grandmothers butter, but it’s been to many years since I had some so I don’t really remember the taste. I guess I’ll have to make some.
Dan Souza and a cute dog.
Perfect start to the weekend.

@J K Border Collie maybe? 🤷♂️
The best What's Eating Dan yet. Funny, entertaining, and informative. And puppy.

can I say -- Mr. Souza is coming into his own -- these cooking vignettes are wonderful. Great to see him taking ATK in such a smart, modern direction.
I think this is the most wholesome video I have ever seen! next time I have a tough day I'll just re watch this to feel butter immediately
Dan with a puppy talking about butter and the ways it can be used. I feel so warm and fuzzy. We love you Dan!
I've probably seen a hundred butter videos on yt over the past days, not knowing what I'm looking for and having a weird butter obsession to scratch.

This video was soo much more than making butter. I learned so much!
Greatly appreciate this kind of videos!!!
The cutest thing ever. I believe you might have mentioned butter...
By far, my favorite What’s Eating Dan episode. Thank you for the education and chuckles. Keep them coming! Maybe a episode on pasta types?
Small adorable animal and Dan? Couldn't ask for much more!
I did try making my own butter and it came out well. I also make clarified butter or ghee as well, I love the flavour of clarified butter.
We finally brought some culture to our butter this week. Your recipe works perfectly, and the butter is SO GOOD! Thanks! Pro Tip - CostCO cream was about the only option we found for pasteurized, not ultra pasteurized.
The puppy was AWESOME!!! Oh and ya butter s good too.
Melted butter on popcorn. Yum, an absolute favorite, a wonder and miracle from God!
Great video Dan, you are definitely my favorite on America's Test Kitchen!
What a cute dog. Great video. Thanks Dan

Cultured butter has been my favorite to make for years! Soooo delicious!!
I use a bit of plain kefir instead of buttermilk to make batches of cultured butter. They turn out great!
does it matter how much you use of each ingredient? never made this before.
Finally made this. First time was a learning curve, now its super easy. Man the flavor was really good. We have a local dairy producer that produces an extra fatty heavy cream. I used that and the butter was awesome. I let mine ferment for a week!

Cute puppy! love butter.
The world needs more Dan.
What a cute puppy! Love love love butter!
I'm really enjoying these informational posts.
So funny. It’s a generation of skilled craftsman with video/screen skills. Love it. More please.
Dan is so cute in a nerdy cheffy kind of way.
I've made this many time now. My family can't get enough of it!
Subbed last night before I went to bed.. now I'm glad I did.. this guy seems to know his stuff.
Once again you take a single ingredient and explain everything! Well done! 😋
I can’t wait to make me some cultured butter. Thanks Dan and cute puppy.
You melted my brain like that butter. I love your videos Dan!
Thanks Dan. Great job.
finally, a video on what I have been doing for years. Although I just let the butter culture on its own. I WILL try the addition of butter milk this time and see what the results are like.
That was a really superior
esoteric video. Thank you.
Butter AND a puppy? Best thing ever! ❤️

Dan: The topic, dog, editing and sound effects, make this a top notch video. Cheers ATC!

But did you Do IT?
Cute puppy!

Dan is the best. Thanks for teaching butter making
Thank you! Your puppy is so wonderful! If he/she is anything like my dogs he would love a taste of your amazing sounding butter.
This was great. Thanks, NPR version of Brad Leone!
What a perfect way to put that. There's been a Babish and Souza video, and a Babish and Leone video. Is there a Dan and Brad video? I'd pay to watch that.
Well Leone is charming because he’s a bit of a valley guy. Dan is cute because he’s a big food nerd. Would love to see them collaborate.
This was inspirational!!! How is a butter tutorial so inspirational!!!???
Dan thank you for this video. It is one of the most useful and inspiring ones that I have seen in a longtime. Over the next few weeks I will be working my way through the various things that you have suggested. All the best, keep up your good work. Cheers!
Made it with jersey cow cream as part of a class in Mexico and came out amazing, love this technique!
Again, Dan should have his own show. What a great teacher. Kinda going all "Martha Stewart" on us Make Your Own Salt, Make Your Own Butter.
Um, he does. It's called What's Eating Dan. And you just watched it!
I just love you. And I love butter. And I love how you give everything that "sciency" touch with a sprinkle of humor. And I love the puppy. And now I'm hungry. Because of butter, not the puppy.
I make my own cultured butter all the time, it reminds me of the good old days when I visit my family in Spain...
What do you use to culture it? :)
@@vimo1601 as mentioned in Dan's video cream with butter milk...
That was a great episode!
Love Dan’s videos!

I'll definitely try this. I'm half-way there, anyway, as Chef John from "Food Wishes," has had me making my own creme fraice, for years. Thanks!!

I’m definitely doing this. Love the cute puppy 🐶
Kerry Gold Butter ....Priceless!
Lol “really big hair” . Love this series! We want more.
I drooled - being a butter-lover! ❤❤❤
Awesome, as always
Awwwwwww two cuties and butter 👍😍 Nuff said 😘
I have made it three times now - thanks, Dan!!
❤😍🥰Oooooo! Dan with a puppy! Sooo cute! I had to go back because I couldn't hear anything he said after the puppy. 😂
Dan, I love these.
Another great episode, Dan! Thanks for sharing this with us!
I made it! Think I'll buy Irish butter in future though. Got a sink full of fat-laden dishes now and no puppy 😉
Mmmm butter!! Off topic I’ve heard using baking soda when cooking dry beans takes away the “gassiness” what’s the science and is it true? Love the artistic science based spin on your videos! Awesome.
Ok, made this twice. Definitely wait the 7 days. Omg so good.
Instructions unclear, ended up bringing a puppy home.
I have cream/buttermilk fermenting on the counter and will make this butter recipe along with a beautiful challah bread this Saturday! I can't wait! :-)
Thank you Dan, I’m making my first batch this weekend 😊
i'm going to try this during this holiday. too bad i don't have a visual analogy on how happy i'll be :)
Love me some Dan!! I'm definitely going to try this!!
Browning cultured butter before adding it to ATK’s pancake recipe is *divine*, especially when you put more on the cakes after they cook 🤤🤤🤤
I’m so glad i found this playlist! Dan is fantastic and the cinematography is so therapeutic 😊 hope season 2 is on its way soon!
**ps: i binged the whole playlist in two days. Good stuff
Heck yes I’m going to make this. I love my butter and crème fraîche so this is a win win!
I made it. It molded. When I did it for 7 days. I'm going to try 24 hrs next.
These are great. Thanks!
I have seen a lot of videos with you. Thanks for all your knowledge! Love you!
I think you should also rinse as much of the butter milk out of the butter as possible. I also prefer butter salted, and I think salted keeps longer.
I really can't think of a food show host that is more satisfied , warming, even cozy as you.
I also lived in Morocco where we made our own butter at home and it was also extremely very bigly delicious! :-)
Gotta try this. Baking some sourdough bread this weekend and this should completely kill me.
The combination sounds amazing. Homemade bread alone typically struggles to last more than two days in my house.
A Hot guy and a SUPER CUTE puppy...I think my heart melted (get it...melted like butter...smh, bad pun, I know).
I will try again.
A video about butter with a super cute puppy, it doesn't get any better than this.
I've made butter for years, but my oh my, never made "cultured" butter. Going down to my friends house today to get some fresh milk and try this out :) Once again, love your videos!
Great video. Once the butter is made, how should it be stored and how long will it keep?
Johnny Davis, in a jar with a cover, or rolled into a log using parchment or waxed paper, and keeps up to three weeks, or several months if frozen
john Devan wayne Thank you!

Loved it!
The fact that they have a bunch of office dogs makes me wish I could subscribe MORE to them!
Excellent Video!
Dan --- another great show. Always thorough and educational. Tell me about your cute puppy. Name, age, and breed! Cheers
Dan didn't think you could get any better but chemistry + butter + Dan = Amazing
Plus a really cute puppy. No better life than that.
He's back!!
My grandmother used to make her butter like this and my mom hated it. My mom used to think that she didn’t like butter until she tried sweet cream butter.
