 Homemade butter, how to make it

Ingredients

200 ml cream (sour cream) with at least 30% fat content

(200 ml of cream will give 125g of butter)

Estimated cost: €0.91 (€0.23/portion)

Materials

Electric mixer (or pot)

sieve

kitchen towel

Preparation

Step 1 - Place the very cold cream (sour cream) in the mixer bowl and start beating as if you were making whipped cream. If you don't have a mixer, place it in a pot and shake well.

Step 2 - After a good while (about 15 minutes) the cream/sour cream will start to curdle and separate from the whey.

Step 3 - Sieve and recover the solid part. We will beat the solid part again (in the mixer) to remove as much of the liquid as possible. If you like salted butter, add it at this stage.

Step 4 - Then take the butter, place it in a clean dish towel and wring it out as much as possible to remove even more liquid.

Step 5 - Your homemade butter is ready!! Consume it within 48 hours because the butter has not been pasteurized. Easy, right?
