How To Make REAL BUTTER in a KitchenAid Mixer

You can make Raw or Whole Real Butter in your Kitchen Aid Mixer in less than 10 minutes, and it tastes better than any butter you can buy in the store!
I'm using a 5qt KitchenAid Artisan Series Mixer in an Aqua Sky Color from Amazon: goo.gl/uGhpA

If you don't own a splatter guard... I used a paper plate with the middle cut out and taped it to my bowl. One time use but worked great!

[@aLittleInsanity]

Mercy Hoyt This is such a great suggestion... Thanks! =) God Bless! ~Erika

[@mercyhoyt8474]

A Little Insanity I noticed if I turned up the speed as it thickens this seemed to make a huge difference in the amount of cream splattering. However once I added the ice water to wash my butter.... WATCH OUT LOL. Hence is why the plate idea is one time use only, but we had fun.

A Little Insanity leave fictional storybook characters out of it.

Kelley M not hate, annoyance. I am constantly annoyed by Christians and it really gets to me after a while. i don't hate anyone, hate is a strong emotion and it takes a lot for me to feel hate. But don't you dare mention fictional story characters and expect me to believe they're real, that is an insult to my intelligence and very much rubs me the wrong way.

[@chrisstreet5627]

If you will change from the whisk to the paddle when the butter starts to separate from the milk it will be much easier to remove the butter (from the paddle rather than from the whisk) Run the paddle on high speed until butter forms. Pour off the milk, slow the mixer down with the paddle on and it will help "press out" the butter milk. Pour off the milk, add a little ice water and run the mixer on low or press the butter with a spatula to remove more of the milk. Drink or great for making bread

[@TOPDadAlpha]

Rinsing the butter under a faucet just removes all the milk... The butter will stay fresher longer if you rinse. Also after you rinse place butter in a bowl of cold water and ice cubes. Heat of your hands start melting the newly made butter.

[@immortalinwell5935]

Starvation. The answer is always starvation. (Which certainly explains such things as hakarl and lutefisk.)

[@RovingPunster]

@mmmhm: The discovery of butter, eh ? {cracks knuckles) The evolution of dairy products seems easily reverse engineerable to me. Unpasteurized and unhomogenized milk, straight from a cow, naturally separates into milk and cream in a few short hours. If you do nothing, both will continue to thicken all by themselves via bacterial action into yogurt and sour cream, one floating atop the other. Before refrigeration existed, both source products (raw milk and fresh cream, both highly perishable) were preserved (prior to natural souring/thickening) by removing the excess liquid - either boiling it down to a fudge-like product, or coagulating (either with rennet from a calf's stomach or acid from citrus or wine vinegar) and straining the results. Both solids (from milk and cream) were usually salted to further protect them - but they invariably continued to mature over time depending on how they were handled/stored, and that's how cheese evolved. As for whipped cream - yogurt from milk thins when you whisk it, whereas if you whisk thickened cream it gets even thicker, and I'm sure some dairy aficianado probably though the latter would taste even better if you whipped it before it soured, and viola ... whipped cream. It's also a human tendency to assume if something is good, more could surely be better, and proceeded to beat their whipped cream until it fell apart and produced butter. The liquid left from butter would then continue to thicken and sour all by itself, just like yogurt (from milk), only this time into buttermilk. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it. ;-)

[@KRowe]

Using raw cream it seems to take a lot longer than 10 mins to get my butter. I will say that I attach the splatter guard and wrap a tea towel around before I crank on the mixer! Once I get the buttermilk, I attach the dough spatula (the one with the rubber side) on the mixer to help press out all the buttermilk- works pretty good and a lot less dishes. My butter also comes out really fluffy- not sure why, but hubby likes it.

[@jonmccauley6490]

I was using my stand mixer for maybe 5-10 minutes and couldn't get it to separate. Do I need to go longer? I was using heavy whipping cream. Hope it's the right stuff.🤷‍♂️

Thank you for this. It was perfect in the kitchen aid. I followed what another commenter said, as soon as it started to stick together I spun the butter mixture off the ballon whisk and replaced with the white paddle. Worked a treat. And it took less than 6 minutes in total plus all the rinsing with iced water. Thank you for a lovely and easy to follow format!

Mary, there is a lot of discussion about that right now. Many holistic doctors believe that margarine which has many of the components of plastic is the main culprit for clogged arteries. It is not real food and the body doesn't know how to process it. It would make sense when you look at the statistics of increase in heart disease since the Docs went nuts about butter and eggs years ago. They didn't wipe out heart disease after people stopped eating butter. In fact, in increased. And they have already admitted their error about eggs. Natural is always better., I think.

We ALL 'have a life', but some of us prefer making things ourselves, for half the cost as store bought, as well as, controlling what goes into our food.

Laurie Myrick, Let me see your breakdown of the cost to make your own butter. Include the cost of the electricity if you used electrical equipment, cost of the electrical gadget, also the cost of electricity for the lighting, cost of the water for rinsing, cost of the ice cubes (more electricity to run the freezer), cost of the ice cube trays... See where I am going with this?

[@regitmail]

But Laurie Myrick CLEARLY state that it IS about cost, for her. So I am still waiting for her to do the cost analysis. I am confident that it is less costly for her to buy it at the supermarket.

[@toredan]

Unsure why you're replying to a 2 year old comment, it's rather futile. Anyway, I make butter at home as I enjoy folding in other flavor elements like herbs and spices. I also enjoy smoking the butter with applewood or cherry smoke. This is real butter, not margarine, which if I purchased in a farm shop here in the UK would cost me around 3 pounds a block. (The majority of supermarket 'butters' are margarine.) Also my homemade butter doesn't contain the food additives that supermarket bought stuff does. In this UK this includes, but is not limited to, aspartame, trans fats, food colourings, emulsifiers and many other e-numbers.

[@regitmail]

@Thomas Brace. "The majority of supermarket 'butters' are margarine." Well, giving you the benefit of the doubt, apparently, UK has radically different requirements for what constitutes butter than does the USA. ==================================================== For the purposes of the Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906 (Thirty-fourth Statutes at Large, page 768) “butter” shall be understood to mean the food product usually known as butter, and which is made exclusively from milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional coloring matter, and containing not less than 80 per centum by weight of milk fat, all tolerances having been allowed for. ======================================================= Did you read that carefully? Made from cream and/or milk, with MILK FAT content of at least 80% by weight! Now considering that typical supermarket butter contains about 16% water, that leaves a whopping 4% that could be "margarine fat"! So why don't you check the UK requirement and report back.

I ate spread some on fresh bread with some homemade strawberry jam.....yum! Making it felt like magic. Feel so proud of myself. Smells divine too. After rinsing out the buttermilk from the butter with water until it runs clear, I would recommend using a cheesecloth to squeeze out all of the water completely from the butter so that it lasts longer, doesn't go rancid. The more water u squeeze out, the better. I'm about to make some homemade scones using part of the butter and the buttermilk I made. Wish me luck. Forgot to say, I used a hand mixer and it worked out ok.

[@RealityIsTheNow]

Something to add: For a tangy cultured butter similar to the European style, first turn your creme into creme fraiche, THEN make butter with the creme fraiche instead of normal cream. Works the same way, but the butter will have a far more complex (read amazing) flavor and the buttermilk will be so good you'll want to just pour it into a glass and drink it. I always culture my cream now, before making butter.

@@kelleyspartiatis4776 no, buttermilk is made as a byproduct of making butter. When you add lemon all you're really doing is curdling some of it. You use buttermilk because it's cultured. It has live cultures in it. The live cultures are what sour the cream to make creme fraiche.

I hung in there and eventually got a nice little container of butter! I was surprised that it tasted much different than store butter. I am not sure if it's because this is what real butter tastes like or if it is just the result of using heavy whipping cream. I would like to get my hands on farm fresh milk/cream so I can experiment further.

[@jonmccauley6490]

I just tried it with heavy whipping cream and all I got was whipping. How long did you have to whip it up? I think I spent 5 minutes on high and did not see any separation.

[@STV-H4H]

Hi, I read thru a lot of comments. Your resembled my question. I’m using a 7qt KA mixer and it’s (still working on it) taking way longer than 3 min. The first 3 was whipped cream. The next 3 was more whipped cream, with hints of separation. I’m approaching 10 at least and it’s starting to sound like a lump is forming. I’ve done this once before with store bought whipping cream. Two days ago I scored from a bit to distant dairy farmer a large jar of un homogenized whole milk. Instead of just drinking it and it being gone I decided to use about 1/3 to have butter which should last awhile and be more enjoyed. Even with the towel it looks like it’s making a mess. At about 11 min full speed I’m getting close. It tastes awsome at this point.

[@mauramcfall9289]

I'm also just discovering how to make butter and the preserving group I belong to have been showing me how. Their tips are to allow cream to get to room temperature before whisking as it saves time. Don't run your machine on high for too long as it damages the motor. Rinse butter out under a cold tap of water till clear. Do this with your hands it also saves time and your machine and not so messy. Double cream whips quicker than whipping cream.

[@julienolan5703]

Thank you so much for doing this video for us! You did an excellent job! Some people add salt to their butter. At what stage would you add the salt? And how much salt and what kind of salt would you add? Can I use this butter for baking recipes? Thank you for your time!

[@julienolan5703]

+Nibbler800 believe it or not, no I have not received an answer.please let me know if you find out! I'll do the same!

[@cory8791]

My mom adds the salt after the last rinse so the salt stays how much is by taste start out with a little I hope this help !!!

[@silverdf1]

Julie Nolan You add the salt after the rinsing the butter milk off the butter and the reason is for Taste as well as it lasts longer in the refrigerator.

[@regitmail]

1 teaspoon per pound of butter. Add after your squeeze out the water from the final rinse. Knead in the salt well.

[@margaretbenson-mccarthy5646]

How many batches do you think makes 1 lb?

[@btripodina70]

Wow, I was doing the jar thing, then I watched this. My first batch of butter and butter milk was made. Thank you

[@makingiteasywithliz]

Wow, I really like this video. I have a KitchenAid stand up mixer and smart enough to know that if I had a Hamilton Beach, I could still use this technique. The comments on this got way off track and really unnecessary. I'm not religious but I respect those that are. Unless someone is preaching their beliefs, why not just accept the kindness of a little GB instead of being so rude and inflict us with your hateful spew? +Andrew Dahl. Your inappropriate bitching was way more offensive than a few GB. Got Friends? I can't wait to try this. Thank you for taking the time to show us.

[@tylercoulombe4728]

Any comment section on youtube gets out of hand and off subject. I have learned to ignore it. The people who do this are called Internet trolls and they bassically bully people over a computer screen, if you don't bite they will stop.

Tyler Coulombe just trolled. No one responded. He stopped.

[@billholder253]

After using the whisk attachment to get the butter, as usual, then pour off the buttermilk, & switched to the dough hook. This allowed more water to “beat” out, of the remaining buttermilk, of the butter. Did add the butter to ice cold water and kneaded the butter and the water remained clear. Also might think about putting the mixing bowl, whisk & dough hook into the freezer for a couple of hours before starting. This will help to speed up the separation process, while doing the whisking and using the dough hook.

[@japanisesmile]

Thanks for sharing! U r so sweet God bless you too!

[@deborahcepeda4219]

I remember the 1st and only time I made fresh butter--in kindergarten!! It was a little project the whole class did together just using the same ingredients you employed with yours except for the water, of course. We used small bottles and just shook that heavy cream in those bottle until magically the butter appeared. This was one of the most fun projects done in class when I was in elementary school that I can completely recall (63 yo. now!!) and how delicious the butter was to eat on saltines at the end. Up til then I had only ever eaten margarine which to this day I think is truly nasty!

[@phickle]

We did the same in kindergarten! I'd forgotten until now!

[@carlalemieux305]

Just made this, it was beyond perfect. Also added cinnamon sugar to it, and its amazing! Thank you.

[@lorrainejkoschock6294]

Cinnamon sugar is a great idea ! I never would have thought of that.

[@austinartlaw]

Thank you for this! I make butter all the time in small batches and never understood what they meant by "washing" the butter in cold water. Now it makes sense!

[@crazyaboutbirds1]

How much salt do you recommend for that amount of butter?

[@matthews32609]

First thing I made in my brand new mixer. I have sense ordered the splash guard. If you haven't do it. Butter turned out AWESOME. Thanks for your time

[@fubukifangirl]

I made butter with a hand mixer before. I had never tasted such delicious butter in my life. Store bought pales in comparison.

[@bowler8]

i just put my butter in a strainer and rinsed it

[@deniseeulert2503]

I worked as a baker for most of my career. A couple of times we got extra orders and ran out of butter, BUT, we had had delivered an extra case of cream. So I hurried up and did this, in the big work mixer. I did not salt it or add flavor. The products I used it in turned out fine.

[@jovanhardy1591]

With 2 cups of whipping cream how much butter milk does it yeld?

[@aLittleInsanity]

2 cups whipping cream should yield 1 cup of buttermilk & 1 cup of butter. :) Hope that helps. God Bless! ~Erika

[@AmuckPVP]

What's the cost of making your own vs buying it?

[@jovanhardy1591]

AmuckPVP here cheap butter is almost 4 usd. Buttermilk is 350ish

[@RealityIsTheNow]

depends how cheap butter is and how cheap cream is. If you can get the giant, cheap, jugs of cream at a restaurant supply store, or costco, its possible to make butter cheaper than buying it. But you'd have to make a lot of butter to save any money...and it would be dimes and nickels.

[@lauracastro1487]

Can you use heavy cream or does it have to be whooping cream?

[@mb4lunch]

That's the color Kitchenaid I just bought. Love it!

[@ByronLumley2009]

I am so glad I can buy butter in a store.

[@davecasey4341]

***** If in fact that is what you're actually getting. In this day and age you never know what's in the package anymore. Did you know that if you go to the store and buy a jar of honey, you may be getting a jar of corn syrup with a little honey added for taste? Seems that the Chinese have learned we like our honey and they are selling tons of fake honey to distributors here in the US and they are repackaging it as real honey.

[@Fidi987]

***** Yes, but you have to make butter from milk or cream which you usually buy from a supermarket, too. So you cannot be absolutely sure that this is 100% pure milk or cream. Whatever you do, you cannot be sure to make butter from scratch as you do not know what might have been added to the milk or cream. I would not do this on a regular basis, but I'd do it once in a while for fun or for teaching kids what butter actually is and how it is made. A nice idea is then to give each kid an opportunity to season their own butter and let them taste each other's butter afterwards. Anyway, this is certainly one justification to buy a kitchen machine (if people need one ;-)) because doing this with a hand mixer would be rather - exhausting, I guess.

[@jflsdknf]

***** Yea and it's actually cheaper than making it yourself too lol

[@divery4eyes]

+Dave Casey (dgcasey) speaking of the chinese, a few years back they had a problem with baby formula. there were factories that were making fake formula that was engineered to past tests to determine the fake from the real.i am not for sure but i think they did the same with milk. but i have noticed one thing, i am lactose intolerant, and i can go to the store and drink whole and 2% with no problem. i wonder . . . . . . . . . .

[@thomasbaird511]

+Byron Lumley Much better than plastic margarine.

[@jamesryan6224]

We used to "Paddle" the butter as a final step of removing water. Using a Ping Pong paddle you literally slap the butter, turning it over repeatedly and it was very efficient at removing all the water. This makes a firm waxy butter.

[@indigoholmes6364]

My mixer has been going for 45 minutes and the butter has still not clung to the balloon whisk attachment. Very very concerned with the contents of the bottle of "cream"!

[@lanarowland7025]

Best video on making butter from whip cream i have seen. Making it today.. Thank you..

[@tdragon4752]

I think I'll use king of random's instructions :D

[@aLittleInsanity]

LOL! =) Grant is a lot buffer than I am... But, all that shaking might be good for my arms!

[@e4300]

I followed your video instructions today, the butter was delicious and easy

[@paulsankaran1155]

[@kernalmustang260]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE A CHEESECLOTH INSTEAD OF PRESSING IT AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE BOWL.

[@leembandy]

Worked great!!! Filled up two empty Land O’Lakes spreadable containers 7 oz. each). Can’t wait to use the leftover buttermilk!

[@anilpatel1852]

Grant Thompson's way is better and more fun.

[@GeoffBernard]

+anil patel What? I had no idea the King made butter... I hope this will be as good as I'm imagining it to be :)

[@ONLYinANTARCTICA]

Brilliant!! I was not aware butter could be made this way.

[@leptoon]

You should change the title of this video to say stand mixer instead of KitchenAid mixer, because this can be accomplished with any stand mixer that has the same mixing action.

[@leptoon]

in fact, you should remake this video and stop using the term KitchenAid because this applies to all stand mixers.

[@leptoon]

oh and leave the "god bless" out of your videos. It's insulting.

[@shootem5568]

Andrew Dahl get the fuck out of here.

[@leptoon]

Shootem556 ok

[@leptoon]

Shootem556 happy to leave, there's no reasoning with Christians. You keep going around insulting others' intelligence with your bless yous and god bless, it really gets on my nerves. So goodbye.

[@laurennasca-davis7747]

Just made and my husband is so happy w his toast!

[@aidacristinacruzbrazoban8688]

Anyone who has ever attempted to whip cream has made butter LoL No tutorial needed.

[@tiffanyld7772]

Aida Brazoban lol i accidently made butter this morning except i had presweetened it.

Why would someone down vote this helpful video presented by a nice woman?
