How to Make Homemade Butter | Natural Butter from Milk at Home

Homemade Butter
Homemade butter is an ancient recipe that our ancestors perfected. Today we are recreating the recipe with raw milk which is hard to find nowadays. The most important thing is to find milk with high fat content. The rest requires some patience and hard work. The results are worth the effort trust us. Here is our recipe if you try it make sure you share your experiences with us. Enjoy!

3 L whole milk, preferably raw milk or high in fat content milk, half & half cream would do great as well
Cold water
Ice
• Pour the milk in a pot and simmer it over 70C (160F) for 20 minutes to kill bacteria.
• After it boiled let the milk cool down in room temperature.
• Then collect the top layer of fat that deposits after it cools down. You can collect top of the cream in bowl to make butter, every time when you boil milk that has high fat or make your yoghurt at home. Half &half cream or any cream has around 10% fat content.
• Chill the cream in the refrigerator 2 to 3 hours before you're ready to make the butter.
• For manual method of separating the butter from the cream, add water and ice to the collected cream.
• Shake the cream until separate from milk and have chunks.
• For practical way, add the collected cream in a food processor and add cold water and ice.
• Pulse until a yellowish butter separates from the cream in chunks.
• Put the chunky butter in a large bowl and put more ice on it.
• Press the butter using spatulas. This should separate the buttermilk from the butter. This buttermilk can be used in cooking or making curd cheese.
• Then put into ice bath to further solidify and separate from the milk.
• Shape the strained butter into desired shapes and store in the refrigerator.
• Use it within 2-3 weeks. You can use it for cooking, and you can butter your toasted bread. Bon a petit!

In Ireland farmers often find butter in their fields from hundreds even thousands of years ago and the butter is perfectly preserved. Some think that the ancient Irish stored butter in bogs to enhance it's flavor and allow fermentation to taste like parmesan. Some butter was forgotten about and left but the method of preservation makes the butter edible even today. However I've smelled and tasted recreated Irish bog butter and it's very earthy and an acquired taste. I love that you're making homemade butter, I actually make it home butter over store bought because the flavor is unbeatable and also I do not use much butter as I tend to lean on olive for my fats.

[@zombiefulci3301]

Irish butter is garbage, I tried Kerry Gold after hearing so much praise heaped on and it turned out to be the blandest thing, this was the salted butter btw. I tried other Irish butters and all are bland. Americans make the best

[@maf2014]

I wonder of anyone here ask you what did you eat for your fats??😂

[@gtraum01]

Dear Refika! First: LOVE to you and your team from Hungary! Just a little piece of advice: after you first warm up the milk , let it sit in the fridge undisturbed for a day or two! A lot more of the cream will form on the surface, the more you let it sit, the more cream. Try this next time you make butter🤞🏽keep the great content coming!🌈💞

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

Nice tip! Who doesn't love cream!

[@BiasCookventure]

I do same and make homemade butter and ghee. Overnight milk in refrigerator gives a thick layer of cream.

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

[@ishaanarora9113]

At my home in India we have been doing it since my childhood days. We make butter with a process similar to that 2nd yayak process that you showed and then collect and shape it using our hands and cold water and then take it one step further by making ghee out of this butter. That ghee lasts us for the entire month. Never had to buy the packaged ghee until I moved to the city.

[@Getpojke]

I love ghee & it would be interesting to see Refika do a video on making it & what she uses it for.

[@the_good_citizen]

Yes. Most indian homes do it. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4S4hmmsrb2sqJY

[@maishamoithily7925]

You can also drink cheese water with sugar or jaggery too and add some ice or refrigerate it. Good for hot weather.

[@Anmolnegi-yw7hg]

This is the method we use in india by using clotted cream on the top of milk , but in my region the more traditional method is to make youghurt with milk first then whip it to get butter and then u also get fermented buttermilk which is very important in my region. Also u can eat butter or make ghee of different types , like some ghee are more cloudy and some are golden and some are cooked a little more and they get a rich toasty flavour as well🙏

[@ramonajordan3875]

I do this with cream and my food processor. Even though I'm using commercially available cream, it still tastes so much better than store bought butter. Sending you all good mojo!

[@anupamayadav007]

Use cream….whipping cream is also good….just find organic ones….also use whey….its the main component of the whey protein people buy…..for smoothies…and shakes….also butter was traditionally made by churning….I saw some companies selling hand churning machines…..on amazon…..that will give you best

[@akoc__]

are you seriously trying to teach the master chef her own job

[@anupamayadav007]

@@akoc__ Yes I am....giving ideas how to get better results....one should never be too proud to learn.........

[@anupamayadav007]

Also, a stand mixer is better suited than a food processor....if you have.....over whipping of cream will separate butter and whey

[@cautiouscoyote8590]

I get raw Jersey cow milk from a local farm. They said their milk tests A2/A2 which, among other benefits, apparently means it may not cause lactose intolerance problems, especially if you make it into yogurt. Jersey milk has super-high fat content. I put the milk in wide-mouth 2-qt mason jars & let it sit still in the fridge for a few days so the cream settles at the top. Then I use a small ladle to skim off the cream for making butter etc.

[@draganamitrovic4614]

I don't know what's better: you,your butter or view from Kuzguncuk 😍

[@davidbennett9691]

The whey is also great to use as the liquid in bread or crepes.

[@morgellonsdirect513]

I've made LOTS of butter over the years, usually in a quart jar. The easiest thing is to use heavy cream (already separated from the milk and pasturized) and let it sit on the counter to room temperature and then pour into a jar and shake the jar. I've also used a churn. There are jar churns as well in the US. The difference with what you are doing is that after the butter separates from the whey, I pour off the whey and add clean water and shake the jar longer to "wash" the butter. I do this a few times until the water comes clean. I place the butter on a plate and used the paddles to smear the butter back and forth to get all of the water out and then add salt to the butter (preserves it) and smear that in. It does not need to be refrigerated at that point and can be kept on the counter for up to a month...it never lasts that long because it is eaten or used in cooking.

[@gwynwellliver4489]

At preschool our five year olds learn how to make butter by shaking their liquid in small jars. My mother has a jar with a lid which has a paddle, gear, and crank.

I enjoyed this video very much… I have made butter before but only from double cream, simply whisk by hand until the solid butter “appears”… then collect the solid, rinse with water and add a little salt to taste… but I’ve never tried collecting the cream and butter from milk 👌

My granny was doing “Akıtma” (a kind of salty pancake in Thrace) with the water remain from the curd cheese instead of milk.

[@mongoface]

Thank you for your videos 🥰 You can make Norwegian brown cheese called "brunsost" from the whey. The whey is boiled and milk and cream from cows, goats or a mix is added. It contains 35-40% milk sugar (lactose). The mixture is then cooked further by evaporating the water on slow heat until the dry matter content in the cheese becomes so high that it becomes firm and sliceable. The final cooking on slow heat itself can take up to 1.5 hours and it is the long cooking time that gives the brown cheese its colour when the sugar caramelize

[@imranamin74]

Refika, I have seen this process of making butter since my Grandmother used to make it from when I used to be a kid. Back in Karachi, Pakistan, we still make it and go one step further in making ghee from butter. Refika, I have a few suggestions for you and all the viewers: 1. We buy fresh buffalo's milk which is a bit thicker than the cow 2. After heating it, we keep it in the refrigerator for cooling. After about 24 hours we take out the milk then a thick layer of cream is formed. Keeping the boiled milk in the refrigerator will enable the cream to get thicker. 3. To store this cream for a suitable period we could then keep it in the freezer. 4. It's better using your hands to take out butter after taking it out from the blender. 5. While making ghee you put 2 or 3 rounds of flour in the pan to avoid getting a strange smell in the whole house, infact there will be a better smell just like a cake or cookie freshly baked from the oven.

My mum always does this. When double cream is on offer in the stores she makes butter from it and then some of that she separates and makes ghee with it! Very delicious! Also love the new haircut refika ❤️

[@-abheda]

in the uk, clotted cream from cornwall has a minimum fat content of 55% and is a solid. absolutely delicious though horrendously rich! it is customarily used for cream teas (scone with jam and clotted cream + fresh tea in a pot). what kind of butter would that make? could you even, given that is is already a solid?

[@chriscoughlan5221]

in Spain its hard to find fresh cream, and when you do its only single cream, i mention cream cuz thats what i tried to use initially to make butter, it didnt work out. So i tried yr idea using milk, another disaster, as it seems spanish milk is like water compared to the milk in the uk. I tried yr method of heating the milk, but only got about 1 teaspoon of the stuff for butter, consequently after one week, barely nothing.

[@lillyess385]

In Canada it's illegal for farmers to sell raw milk, would whipping cream (35% milk fat) or heavy cream (38% milk fat) that comes in a box work instead? Edit: Refika already addressed cream at the end of the video.

[@davidbennett9691]

I've been making it for years from 36% cream from local dairies (ADL and Purity in Charlottetown, PEI) with perfect results. Not so much with the long shelf-life brands like "Farmers" "Lactancia" "Sealtest" etc. PS - (If you want to go the milk route, it doesn't need to be actual raw milk. Pasteurized whole milk will work if you can find it not homogenized, maybe at a small dairy or farmer's market. In Ontario I used to get a brand called "Harmony".)
