Make Butter Yourself: Here’s How

Make butter from cream yourself

All you need is cream with at least 30% fat, a mixing bowl, a mixer, a wooden spoon, and a fine sieve or a thin cotton cloth.

• You can make about 200 g of butter from 500 ml of cream.
• The cream should be at room temperature before you use it.
• Put the cream in the mixing bowl.
• Set the mixer to high and beat the cream until lumps of butter form.
• The liquid that collects during the process is buttermilk.
• Now put the flakes in the sieve and press the buttermilk out of the mass with a wooden spoon.
• Incidentally, you can enjoy the resulting buttermilk as a low-fat drink.
• Alternatively, you can put the butter in a cotton cloth and squeeze out the liquid.

• Chop fresh herbs very finely and add them to the butter.
• Mix different spices together. Your imagination is the limit. Adjust the amount to your personal taste.
• Then knead the butter and the ingredients well with a fork.

Store homemade butter

You can just put the butter in a plastic jar or shape it into any shape you like.

• To get a roll, put the butter on cling film.
• Flip the foil over the butter once.
• Then, run your hand from the outer edge toward the butter while holding the other end of the foil.
• You can then twist the ends.
• Your butter will keep in the fridge for about a week.
• You can also freeze the butter without any problem.
