HOME-CHURNED BUTTER

Try making your own brandy butter this Christmas, with just a one-litre jar and a marble. Kids will love the magic of turning cream into homemade butter

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Time 30m

Yield makes 200g block

Number Of Ingredients 3

600ml double cream (the better quality the cream, the better the butter)
150g icing sugar , sifted
100ml brandy or dark rum

Steps:

  • Pour the cream into a jar with a clean marble inside. Screw the lid on tightly. Shake the jar continuously for 5 mins (you can take turns shaking with someone else). The movement of the marble acts as a whisk and helps the butter to churn. You can do it without the marble, it just takes longer. At first the cream will thicken to whipped cream, then it will get even thicker. After about 5 mins you will hear sloshing in the jar - give it a few more vigorous shakes, and that's the butter churned.
  • Scrape out the contents into a sieve sitting over a bowl - the liquid that drains out is buttermilk (which can be kept and used for baking or in pancakes), and the fatty solid in the sieve is the butter.
  • With clean hands, squeeze the butter between your fingers over the sieve to squeeze out any more buttermilk, while working it into a ball. 'Wash' the butter in a bowl of ice-cold water to get rid of any residual buttermilk.
  • To make brandy butter, beat the sugar and a small pinch of salt into the butter, then work in the brandy 1 tbsp at a time. Will keep in the fridge for up to one week.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BUTTER



How to Make Homemade Butter image

We're going to do our own handmade butter, using just cold, heavy cream. It's done with no heavy equipment at all, just good old-fashioned arm power. It's the original elbow grease!

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Compound Butter Recipes

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

⅔ cup cold heavy whipping cream
1 1-cup canning jar with lid and ring

Steps:

  • Pour cream into the jar and screw on the lid. Shake jar until butter forms a soft lump, 15 to 20 minutes. Continue to shake until buttermilk separates out of the lump and the jar contains a solid lump of butter and liquid buttermilk.
  • Pour contents of the jar into a fine mesh strainer and strain out the buttermilk, leaving the solid butter. Remove the lump of butter and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until needed.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cream: Opt for fresh, heavy cream that contains at least 36% butterfat.
  • Chill cream and equipment: Chilling the cream, butter churn or jar, and utensils helps the butter solids separate more easily.
  • Shake or churn vigorously: The more you agitate the cream, the quicker the butter will form.
  • Don't over churn: Once the butter solids have formed and separated from the buttermilk, stop churning to prevent grainy butter.
  • Rinse butter in cold water: This removes excess buttermilk and helps the butter keep longer.
  • Add salt and flavorings after churning: This allows you to customize the taste of your butter.
  • Store butter properly: Keep homemade butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Making homemade butter is a fun and rewarding experience that allows you to control the ingredients and flavor of your butter. With just a few simple steps and readily available ingredients, you can create delicious, fresh butter that is perfect for spreading on toast, adding to baked goods, or using in cooking.
