Also when I mention cream it is the cream in liquid form with at least 35 % fat content. (in some countries that can be called heavy whipping cream or pure cream) another important thing when buying your cream is making sure the cream does not contain thickening agent such as gelatin added. it pays to watch the label to see what the cream is made of. in this video we will discuss how is butter made and it transforms from cream to butter

It worked! We made butter on our first try. Took about 35 minutes with the machine mixer. 2 pints heavy cream turned into 380 grams of butter. Next up, we are going to transform this batch of butter into Ghee.....

Hi Stefan, thanks! The video and the channel are great. Maybe you could do a supplemental video to show how to wash the sweet butter (unsalted butter) to make it last longer (it takes away some of the flavor) and how to wash it with salted water to add salt. As an FYI for those that have asked in the comments, you use drinking ice cold water to wash the butter and remove the little drops of buttermilk if you want to just store it for a few days - it will spoil faster if not washed). If you want to make salted butter, you need to saturate the ice cold water with salt (add salt to a couple of liters of water one spoonful at a time and stir it until it dissolves. Keep adding salt and stirring until the salt does not dissolve anymore - this will be the salt saturated water for washing the butter and making salted butter). The salted ice water is then used to wash the butter several times and then you will have salted butter. The water has to be ice cold to avoid melting the butter and you also need to avoid the undisolved salt to go into the butter because you risk making it too salty. In my experience, salt saturated ice water will salt your butter without the risk of over salting it. The procedure for washing the butter is as follows: Put the butter in a bowl, add some of the iced water or salted iced water (there is no risk in using too much water maybe equal ammounts of butter and water each time) and use a fork as if trying to mix the butter with the water (they will not mix but in the case of salted water some of the salt will go into the butter). After doing this a few times you just discard the water used and repeat the procedure (I usually repeat it 8 to 10 times). At the end you discard the water and use wooden spoons like Stefan showed or a good silicone spatula and press the butter over and over until you squeeze out all the water you can. (when using a spatula you can repeatedly press and fold the butter against the side of the bowl). You will see little drops of water oozing out of the butter. When no more water is left that is it! One final tip, to keep your water ice cold you can add little bits of finely crushed ice to the bowl every time you put water in. In the end, the ice will melt and even if there was some inside the butter it will be sqeezed out. Thanks again Stefan, you have a fantastic channel!

Hello Stéphane and greetings from Finland. Maybe you’d like to try to take this a little bit futher and add little bit sour flavor by mixing some kind of sour cream (crème aigre, Crème fraîche etc.) into cream (100g/1 liter of cream), heat it up to 40 degree celcius, cover and leave it in room temprature over night. Refrigerate and whisk it to butter.

One little point, every time I have eaten butter in France, it has been cultured butter. And the wonderful unpasteurized butter from Isigny Sainte-Mère is in my shopping basket every week, and that is also cultured butter. It is a little more complicated to make because you have to culture the cream first, but it is what makes good butter in France so wonderful!

My parents had a dairy farm until they retired some years ago. I miss the milk. Fresh milk, just cooled down, right from the barn is very different from milk in the supermarket. It has more taste, more body. And the butter we made from the cream was the same - more taste and body then anything you find in a shop.

I remember making butter in kindergarten. We had the cream in Mason jar and passed it around as each of us shook the jar until it developed a solid. Still today it's a miracle and brings a smile to my face. Thanks.

There were five of us kids. We couldn’t wait till Saturday evening when it was time to help mom make butter. She also used mason jars. We’d take turns passing it around and shaking up until it became butter. Mom would take out a portion and mix in her homemade perseveres. Oh boy. We could hardly wait till the next morning when she would make biscuits and we’d have our own little container of strawberry or peach butter- that we made the day before. Such good times. 😊

Just made the butter today. The most fun I've had all week and it is super easy. Best part is when it instantly turns from thick whipped cream to butter. Mine spun butter milk all over the wall in that instant which made me laugh because it happened so fast. I just used 1 qt + 1 pt of basic heavy cream from Kroger here in the U.S. and it whipped for around 12 min. before the magic happened. The quality is fantastic and it made a surprising amount of butter plus well over a pint of buttermilk. Coming up - There is a small local dairy near my daughters house an hour away, that cream is probably going to be even better. I'd recommend everyone try this, it is fun and produces amazing results. Thanks Stephane!

Butter made from the cream of Jersey (a small island which is near the French coast but part of the UK) dairy cows during the spring (when they are on a diet of grass rather than hay) is rich , golden yellow and incomparable in taste to anything else I have tried. Treat yourself if you ever see it in the shops !

Real French butter 🧈 is sweet & creamy.. you can literally just eat the butter! 🥰 Full fat, grass feed, pure cream & sweet mild salt flakes... wash butterfat well under cold water, use butter paddles get as much water left in butterfat & then add the salt flakes & work into the butter pat. Give the butter & salt time to sit & meld... sweet creamy deliciousness, that melts in your mouth... perfection table butter! 💛 It’s all in your salt flakes... although real butter from Normandy or Brittany can’t be beaten! 😊... you really should at lest once taste the real stuff if you can source it somewhere.

Fresh butter is best around a holiday when the meal is ready and you made the butter that morning. Family and guests eat the butter on the warm bread and rolls from the oven and they are in seventh heaven. A few times a year a local grocery puts their quarts of heavy cream on sale for $.99. Yes 99 cents. They order too much and right after the holiday is over they mark it down to reduce inventory. Last time I bought it, I bought 12 quarts. I sat there one afternoon and make butter and packed it away in the freezer so I could get it out as needed. I never salt my butter because most recipe's you make always has salt as one of the ingredients. Honey butter is always a fan favorite. I use honey butter and add some frozen orange juice. I mix it up and pour it on top of home made cinnamon rolls. There is never one left.

It's good, maybe better than store-bought, but hard to tell really. The other thing is you get the buttermilk too, which is great since I can't find it in store - need a recipe with buttermilk now! I'd say it is worth it if you have a stand mixer, it's super easy.

If you take the cream off of the top of the milk what's left is skim milk not whole milk. Processors do this then add enough cream back to make it 3.5% or so butterfat to create modern whole milk (or 2% or 1% for low-fat). The rest of the cream can then be used for other purposes; butter, cream, half and half, etc. Different breeds of cow, cows, feed, and other conditions produce whole milk with different ratios of cream to skim, that's why the producers take the cream out then add some back, for consistency (and profit).
