A couple of months ago , I did a post on how to make your own butter , the old fashioned way , with a little elbow grease and a mason jar :) Today Ill show you an easier method, using your food pro. Lots of pictures to explain the whole process :) Enjoy
Ingredients Required :
Heavy Cream - I used 750 ml , but 500ml makes for a nice sized batch too.
Food Processor
Sea Salt - Optional
 |
| Start with 750ml of heavy cream ( 35% ) Ive owned this food pro for 10 years , and have never had a chance to use the mixer attachment until now. |
 |
| Noisy attachment that it is :) lol |
 |
| 5 minutes or so in.. it will appear that nothing is happening, and then .... |
 |
| You get good old fashioned whipping cream :)) :) |
 |
| Keep going , the volume will increase almost twofold. |
 |
| and just when you think nothing is going to happen ... it starts to change .. this is about 15 minutes in . |
 |
| At about twenty minutes it starts to clump up a little, and the butter milk starts separating. |
 |
| Twenty five minutes of constant whirring , and you have butter .. time to strain off the butter milk. |
 |
| Add a couple of cups of ice water , and turn it back on for 1 minute. |
 |
| Strain off the ice water , and you will have butter!!! |
 |
| Mmmmm creamy homemade butter !!! |
 |
| I saved the butter milk for making a loaf of bread :)) |
 |
| Pack the butter into a seal-able container , add some sea salt if you like :) This will last for about a month in the fridge. |
That's it!! So simple and easy , and you can add any flavourings you like , herbs, salts , chili.. garlic Mmmmm so many options to enjoy , or keep it plain and add flavour later :) I hope you have enjoyed this recipe. Happy Cooking :))
