Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 7m

Yield 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb butter, room temperature
1 cup water, room temperature
1 cup vegetable oil (can use Canola also)
1/2-1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil, then the water in a thin stream to allow the butter to absorb the liquids (this may take several minutes of pulsing and the mixture will be very "loose" like a pudding texture).

  • Freeze or refrigerate until it firms up.

HOMEMADE CULTURED BUTTER



Homemade Cultured Butter image

Any heavy cream that's beaten long enough turns into butter, of course. But by incorporating one extra step in the process-culturing the cream with buttermilk or yogurt, essentially turning it into tangy, funky crème fraîche-this recipe reaches a whole new depth of flavor.

Provided by Sam Worley

Categories     Butter     Milk/Cream     Condiment/Spread

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart heavy cream
1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (not Greek)
Flaky sea salt (for serving; optional)
Special Equipment
A stand mixer; cheesecloth

Steps:

  • Whisk cream and buttermilk in a large bowl. Cover loosely with plastic and let sit at room temperature until thickened and tastes tangy, at least 12 hours and up to 36 hours (how long this takes will depend on the temperature of your kitchen). Chill until crème fraîche is cool, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer crème fraîche to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Cover space between top of bowl and head of mixer with plastic wrap (this is a must, unless you want cream all over your kitchen). Beat on high speed until butterfat has separated and starts to clump around bottom of whisk, about 5 minutes.
  • Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth. Strain butter mixture through sieve into a small bowl. Pull cheesecloth tightly over butter and form into a ball. Squeeze to drain any excess buttermilk; reserve buttermilk for another use.
  • Transfer butter to a clean bowl and knead, adding a few tablespoons of ice water at a time. Drain water off butter as it becomes cloudy; repeat 3-4 times (the water you drain off should become clearer each time). Continue to knead until no liquid remains. Transfer butter to an airtight container or roll into parchment-wrapped logs. Wrap in plastic and chill until ready to use. Serve with sea salt, if desired.
  • Do Ahead
  • Butter can be made 2 weeks ahead; keep chilled, or freeze up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream: The quality of the cream you use will directly affect the quality of your butter. Look for cream that is fresh and has a high fat content (at least 35%).
  • Chill the cream and your equipment: Chilling the cream and your equipment will help the butter solids to separate more easily from the liquid.
  • Beat the cream slowly at first: Start by beating the cream slowly, then gradually increase the speed as the butter solids begin to form.
  • Don't overbeat the cream: Overbeating the cream can cause the butter to become grainy.
  • Rinse the butter with cold water: Rinsing the butter with cold water will help to remove any excess buttermilk.
  • Season the butter to taste: You can season the butter with salt, herbs, or other flavorings to taste.

Conclusion:

Making homemade butter is a fun and easy way to create a delicious and versatile ingredient. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy fresh, creamy butter that is perfect for spreading on toast, baking, or cooking. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give homemade butter a try!
