Ingredients for Homemade Butter:
1 liter of cream (33% fat): The higher the fat content, the more butter you’ll yield.
Ice cubes: These help in the process of solidifying the butter.
Cold water: Used to wash the butter and remove the buttermilk.
Steps to Make Homemade Butter:
Pour the cream into a large, clean mixing bowl or a food processor. If using a bowl, a hand mixer is ideal.
Whip the cream on high speed for about 3-5 minutes. Initially, the cream will thicken and turn into whipped cream, but keep going. Soon, the cream will separate into butter and buttermilk.
Once the butter and buttermilk separate, drain off the liquid (buttermilk). You can save this for baking or other recipes.
Add cold water and ice cubes to the butter. This helps to wash out any remaining buttermilk. Gently knead the butter with a spatula or your hands to release any trapped liquid.
Drain the water and repeat the washing process a few more times until the water runs clear. This ensures that the butter will stay fresh longer.
Shape your butter into a block or roll, wrap it in wax paper, and store it in the fridge.
And just like that, you have 1 kg of fresh, homemade butter ready to use!
