Homemade butter
Everyone loves butter, because it can be spread on sandwiches and put in porridge. In addition, butter is an essential ingredient in many culinary dishes. Today, stores offer a wide range of oils, but not all of them are tasty or of high quality. I would like to share a recipe for butter that you can make at home. This recipe will also give you an idea of how much this top quality product should actually cost.
To make butter, you only need heavy cream (from 33%). The yield of the product is very small, for example, from 1 incomplete glass of cream you get 25 g of butter. Well, consider how much high-quality oil should cost in stores. If its selling price is lower, then it is clear that the oil contains some additives that increase its volume.
In production, butter is made using powerful whipping devices; at home, you can use a mixer. Since the mixer attachments are small, it is more convenient to make butter from small portions of cream, for example, a glass. For whipping, it is better to use narrow dishes with high edges.
1. So, pour the cream into a container and beat with a mixer at speed 2.
2.In the first stage of whipping the cream, it turns into a light foam with bubbles that pours from a spoon.
3. Continue beating the mixture further at the same speed.
4. The mass gradually thickens and is no longer so easy, but still falls off the spoon when you turn it over. The mixture should be beaten further.
5. Now the cream resembles the consistency of cottage cheese with a yellowish tint.
Before the butter is ready, you need to beat the mixture a little more with a mixer.
6. It is easy to notice that small pieces of butter stick to the mixer blades.
7. At this time, the butter and separated milk are already clearly visible in the cream, the mass is very splashed, so the high edges of the mold are very important.
8. Now you need to put the butter on a sieve so that all the milk is drained. It can be used for other purposes.
9. The example shows how much oil is obtained as a result. It took no more than 10 minutes to prepare this amount of oil. Now you need to put it in the refrigerator so that it cools and hardens.
