This week I learned to make butter

[@SLDR23876]

for anyone wondering, you want to wash the butter thoroughly to remove excess buttermilk, which spoils much faster than the actual butter. also the liquid left behind is buttermilk.

[@_Korinzu]

Not just any buttermilk, but the best you'll ever get. Makes the best layered flakey buttermilk biscuits you'll ever try.

It is not the same as the “buttermilk” you get at the store. The buttermilk you buy is a thick, fermented milk product that is acidic. it is similar to kefir. The buttermilk left over from making butter is probably the original and “real” buttermilk but they are two entirely different products and will give you different results in cooking and baking.

I've been making butter at home for some time now. The reason your butter is going bad fast is you did not wash the butter enough. I put the butter into a large mixing bowl and put cold water on it while squeezing and kneading the butter like dough. The water will become milky in color. Pour out the water and repeat until the water is clear after kneading the butter.

It may be more convenient, but I'm not sure it's cheaper. Based on some of the other comments here, I'm thinking homemade butter doesn't go rancid faster, either, if rinsed in water sufficiently. If you go all the way with the process and make ghee, as I commented elsewhere here, it has to be cheaper. Ghee is fairly expensive when bought in the store. With practice, it's probably a lot less messy, but every time you prepare a meal, some mess is involved that has to be cleaned up. Cleaning the kitchen is a routine task anyway.

I make my own and it’s not more expensive. It also doesn’t go rancid quicker if you wash it thoroughly. I recommend giving it a go, it’s fun, my daughter helps me do it

[@mineofitsown]

I just use heavy cream in a water bottle and let it come to room temperature. Then I shake the living hell out off it for roughly 60 seconds and you get butter. It takes no time at all and you can get some cheap whipping cream.

[@gothhydran2241]

That's what my 3rd grade class did back in the early 80s. The teacher put heavy cream in a glass jar and we all took turns shaking it. Fun times😊

[@user-ul1so8lf3k]

I was all "what a cool Christmas gift!" And then the ending hit.

[@Moletergeist]

The last line sold me

[@helloweeny]

Making cheese next, that's also pretty easy and fun

[@kelpsie]

You got it backwards, silly. In the wise words of Jennifer Reese, "Make the Bread, Buy the Butter."

[@yowutupimbilbo]

I love how the way to make butter is to just beat the hell out of it until it suddenly separates

[@tbawesomeness4396]

I remember i once had this science experiment in school where we had to shake a bit of heavy cream to make butter as an example of a colloid.

[@Adam-wl8wn]

Believe it or not, it works so much quicker if you use your hands to work the cream into butter. That's how we do it.

[@mattjones5328]

always a good day when mike uploads a short

[@JMU365]

Honestly, nothing impresses guests more than really well-made homemade butter

[@Is_Orangutan]

I can feel the tea through the video

[@chirosk]

That's not the type of cream they meant. They meant liquid cream, that's what butter is extracted from.

[@hollybrooke322]

We learned to make butter in kindergarten. It’s a US southern thing I guess. My kids all did as well. We got sanitized baby food jars and cream and shook it until the butter formed. Then we prepped it and took it home to show our parents and eat it. Basic skill here. Of course we were also taught how to out run alligators at that age as well. Not kidding. It’s a must in Florida.

[@ThunderKat]

I'm so glad you mention at the very end the true about this home-made solutions to things..

[@profesonalantagonist]

Hahahaha! Love the narration!

[@grante3679]

My wife just uses our kitchen aid and makes some delicious butter. It was a gift so no we didn't pay that high price tag for it.

[@GhostyOcean]

When I made butter by hand, we poured the cream into a water bottle and shook that like crazy for less than a minute. With enough vigorous agitation, cream turns to butter real quick.

[@ecospider5]

We did that in grade school. But 7 year old can’t actually shake something vigorously. So it took like an hour. 😄😆😊

[@Paaaull]

How do you get the butter out?

[@GhostyOcean]

@@Paaaull you can cut the bottle open, or cut the butter up with a knife and remove it in small chunks.

[@albee8008]

Thanks for the brutal honesty at the end

[@mixedmediaartgirl300]

It was a joy to watch your excitement unfold. I get it. I too, love making home made butter. Did you know it works just as well to shake it in a jar? And please don't pour off that sweet cream buttermilk left behind, It's your little reward for all the work you just did! It's so tasty. This also makes an excellent addition to any culinary gifts.

[@shellnet411]

Heavy whipping cream would've been a lot cheaper than clotting cream. The clotted cream is already processed. Obviously, you've never made butter before. I made it when I was a little kid and then once since I've been married.

[@almostanengineer]

Freshly made butter is amazing, but I can’t justify the cost or time to do it.

[@6023barath]

We heat milk for daily use, so we use the cream that settles on top while cooling for making butter. Once you have enough, you can churn it with any method and make butter!

[@davidy22]

Cost should not actually be higher than just butter by logic of labor costs, you might be overpaying for materials

[@easyelectronics4364]

That batter and butter was sounding epic😂😂

[@n.c.pictures]

At school we just "whipped" regular milk with an electric mixer and it turned out delicious lol

[@BentusiProgenitors]

Wtf. It happens that fast?!?! I honestly had no idea.

[@Meekox]

Shaking the jar makes the fat of the cream stuck together so your basically separating the fat from the liquid

[@ben-tm3wy]

"The fattier the cream the better" You tell em my bro 😩😫😩🤤

[@macdaiddavidson8051]

And now you can truly appreciate what you get at the store when you buy butter!

[@phoenixa.9951]

Hilarious! Whoever gifted this to him must have had a sense of humour!

[@zorod5475]

Can get the same result by just shaking a bottle of cream.

[@bertkesurf]

You can also do this with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer. Takes about a half hour but totally works.

[@fangirl365]

Or you can just stick it in the food processor and it finishes even quicker 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@doomi_nukem]

or you could just buy butter

[@bertkesurf]

@@doomi_nukem True, but you can make your own seasoned butter if you know how to do it yourself. It's cool how many combinations you can come up with, depending on your imagination & access to spices.

[@ahdb6220]

😂😂😂😂😂❤ I love his honesty

[@wendywobbles1]

Love your honesty on the process and the cost hahaha
