How to Make Butter From Double Cream

In this video we show you how to make butter from double cream. I have tried this with Elmlea and it didn't work because it is not a dairy cream - it is made from vegetable oils and buttermilk. The process of making butter from double cream starts by whisking double cream until it turns thick into whipped cream then as you keep on whisking it - the cream starts to separate into butter and buttermilk. Next you will need to separate the butter and buttermilk in different bowls so that you can use them individually.
Before you can use the butter or store it - you will need to clean it with cold water and drain repeatedly until the liquid is clear. The final time, drain the water and add some salt to the homemade butter and it will stay fresher for longer in the fridge. Don't throw the buttermilk away because it has its uses, for example the butter milk can be used for marinating chicken, for use in coffee. It is more creamy than milk but less fatty than cream, in India people drink buttermilk with the addition of spices for a healthy drink.

How much butter did it yield ?

[@CarvedCulture]

Im still not sure and just want you to know that I have not forgotten about your comment and will find out as soon as possible and will post my findings here 😊

[@Bookofwords]

not sure if you ever got the answer to this, but its usually just over half of the cream, for instance, if you use 600ml of double cream, you *should* get around 400ml of butter

[@OverlandTT]

@@Bookofwords I’ve tried using the jar method and it barley made the watery portion - it then has become like a think whipped cream again. Any suggestions before it spoils?

[@Bookofwords]

@@OverlandTT I would do it in a mixing bowl instead with an electric whisk, and keep whisking until the water comes out. Make sure you are using double cream that is actually double cream and has a fat content too. It'll turn into an almost solid looking butter before it releases the water, so once it starts looking like butter but no water, keep going until theres a pool of the buttermilk

[@grobertson2806]

30 seconds in and you answered the question I’ve been searching around for. I thought the seed oils might be a problem for this. Much appreciated!

[@CarvedCulture]

It's great that I was able to help you and a shame that elmlea doesn't work for this. I might try it with coconut cream to see if it works 🤔

[@ClarkDroneFilms]

Perfect. Going to see if I can use some frozen cream to make it I work at Sainsbury's and over Christmas they had a supply of cream all with the wrong date, so it was given to colleagues for free! There must have been 200+ pots of 300ml and 600ml double and single cream. So annoyed that I found out you can make butter from cream only after Christmas. Totally would have taken lots and end up with a lifetime supply of butter

[@richardharris3141]

It works!!

[@CarvedCulture]

Of course! Enjoy! 😊

[@silverlinings3946]

Amazing, thank you! I do love a man handy in the kitchen ❤

[@CarvedCulture]

You are so welcome, we love great hacks like these! 😊❤️

[@syedasimbashir]

Beautiful recipe. Instead of adding salt at the end, can salt be added during whisking? And how about if we want Garlic Butter?

[@CarvedCulture]

Thank you, and I haven’t tried adding salt at the beginning because you have to wash the butter? Garlic butter would be amazing, you could sauté the garlic with parsley and salt, let it cool then add it into butter?! 🤔

[@887Rabbit]

Good grief! Just tried this to your process with 600ml and produced about 475ml of lovely butter.

[@CarvedCulture]

Wonderful, enjoy 😊

[@johnlennox-pe2nq]

2 pounds 30p for 600 - or 475g

[@jeanbroster6454]

Thanks, especially for saying not to use Elmlea as I was going to try that next time.

[@CarvedCulture]

Your very welcome and yes I tried Elmlea it turned out terrible haha 😂

[@finnian888]

Well I wish that I had of seen this before I bought it 😕 Now off to buy some strawberries 😕 😂

[@zalamael]

Yeah, I stopped using Elmlea when I found out it had vegetable oil in it. Always look at the label, if something has vegetable oil in it, look for a better alternative.

[@CarvedCulture]

Thats exactly right, how can they even market it as cream? Like if I thicken egg whites, can I sell it as cream?

[@sunshineseaandvitamind8620]

There's this Syrian KZbinr who has made butter from Elmlea. He only used a jar which he then churned it in. You can put ShamiChef which will take you to his channel and then you can easily find the video posted 6 months ago. He was all praises for the thing which I found odd considering it's not even cream.

[@CarvedCulture]

That’s very interesting thank you for sharing, I will check out the video. I guess it would be possible to make butter from elmlea but not possible doing it this way as it doesn’t separate.

[@sunshineseaandvitamind8620]

@@CarvedCulture yeah he just close a big jar and just shook it and voila butter! He then turned it into ghee.

[@CarvedCulture]

I have not tried the jar method before but researched it quickly just now, I would recommend putting the cream back in a mixing bowl whisking until the buttermilk and fat separate (the butter will be starting to turn yellow at this point). Strain the buttermilk into another container and add water to the thick butter to wash it and drain, keep repeating this process until the buttermilk has been removed and season the butter to taste if you want to. Good luck 🤞

[@OverlandTT]

@@CarvedCulture thanks for your prompt reply, I’ll keep you posted as I’ve dropped it into the kenwood with whisking attachment.

@@OverlandTT Hopefully its gone well 😮

[@lanagood9553]

great thank you.

Your welcome ☺️

[@shanicowlard4794]

So simple I made some yesterday and will never buy butter again. One question as its fresh how long will.it last in the fridge?

[@CarvedCulture]

I am glad that you like the homemade butter and great question. It does depend on how much salt you use as that is what will preserve it but also the amount of buttermilk that is left will affect its shelf life. Unsalted butter will only stay fresh for a few days whereas salted butter could last from 1-2 weeks providing you remove all of the buttermilk.

[@stellamariesmithson1431]

Mine about 3 weeks

[@richardrobson1155]

elmlea double cream can make butter but it defo takes longer, took me about 30 minutes on high speed with a stand mixer, unfortunately didnt taste as nice as other heavy creams

[@CarvedCulture]

That's awesome, your extremely patient, it's a shame that it didn't taste great though, was the texture the same as butter?

[@richardrobson1155]

@@CarvedCulture the texture was pretty much the same, bit tougher to spread tho, it also wasnt as creamier unfortunately. will defo have to try other brands next time tho!

[@Fearless3060]

Which double cream do you use?

[@CarvedCulture]

You can use any dairy double cream, in the video I used cream from the cooperative shop 😊

[@yinhonglin9592]

Do you know how to make double cream from fresh milk?

[@CarvedCulture]

Not sure how to do that but I could give it a go 😊

@@CarvedCulture really hard to find double cream in China. But there is heavy cream. Or you can help me thicken it to double cream.
