Homemade, handmade butter
The last time I checked, Anchor butter was one of the
better brands that used only salt as a preservative.
Some time back, I tried to make soft fluffy whipping cream like the way Jamie Oliver does on tv, and the whole thing coagulated and the end result became butter. I now know what I did wrong, but I got a wonderful end surprise ….. home made butter.
The problem with buying butter at the store is that many of the cheaper butter has chemical stabilizers, coloring and preservatives inside. Rightly, good butter should have be made of cream, maybe water and salt.
Anyways, one day, I came across this awesome and so simple homemade butter recipe I saw posted online by a mom on an anti allergy discussion group. I knew then I had to share it with you guys. There’s nothing better than homemade, and nothing better than pure butter.
Homemade Butter
Ingredients:
-> 1 cup no preservatives, no stabilizer, no coloring heavy cream at room temperature
(buy straight from your local farmer so you’ll know it’s pure cream).
If you can get raw cream, more power to you.
-> 1 12-ounce glass jar or larger with a tight-fitting lid
-> 2 little, very clean marbles (bought and used specifically for this recipe)
-> Salt, optional
Directions:
-> Pour cream into the jar with the 2 clean marbles and screw the lid on tightly – the jar should be no more than 1/3 full.
-> Shake the jar for about 1 1/2 minutes until it thickens into a solid. The longer you shake, the more it thickens, but you have to be careful not to thicken it until it becomes waxy in texture. The marbles help the butter “churn” better in the jar.
-> Drain the butter into a colander, catching the buttermilk below in a glass bowl. Buttermilk goes so well with Indian chapati breads and vegetarian curries. A North Indian roommate of my college boyfriend taught me how to enjoy buttermilk at college.
-> Salt to taste or if you wish to follow the recipe, it’s 1/2 teaspoon per pound butter.
-> pour into a container and chill it in the fridge.
Fun for the kids to make this holiday season too!
