Ingredients

  • 500 ml fresh double cream with 32% fat preferably organic
  • a generous pinch of crushed sea salt flakes optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pull the cream out of the fridge a couple of hours before you start making your homemade butter.
  2. Place the cream into the food processor and start blending on low speed, gradually reaching high speed.
  3. The cream will go through several different stages before finally turning into butter.
  4. First, it thickens and turns into whipped cream, after about 2 minutes.
  5. Then becomes a slightly chunky whipped cream, after about 3 minutes.
  6. And finally, the fat particles will break and the butterfat will separate from the buttermilk.
  7. Pour the buttermilk into a strainer and set it aside to use for other recipes.
  8. Keep the butter in the food processor, and add in about 2 cups of very cold water.
  9. Blend again to "wash" the butter ( this method will help your butter stay fresh longer), and strain any water. Repeat this process a couple of times.
  10. Press the butter well against the wall of the food processor, and drain any leftover buttermilk, then pat the butter dry with kitchen paper.
  11. Transfer the butter over a sheet of cling film. Add a pinch of sea salt, and work it with your hands to shape it into a log. Then, wrap it and store in the fridge until ready to use. To make things easier, you can also use chocolate, cookie or dessert moulds to shape and store your butter.

Notes

  • How to Store Homemade Butter : Store it in the fridge for up to one week. You can also freeze it in small amounts, so you can always have it at hand.
