Home made butter

Nothing tastes better than freshly churned butter.


Ingredients:

  • Cream collected from milk-2cups
  • Ice water- As required

Method:

  • Collect cream from milk every day and store it in freezer.
  • When you have collected 2 cups of cream, remove from freezer and keep it in fridge to thaw. It is important that the cream should be cold while churning butter as we are using mixie. 
  • Next day in a mixer add the cream, ice water  say 1&1/2 to 2 cups roughly and run the mixie for about a minute 
  • You can see butter separating from milk 
  • Now remove the butter and discard the white colour milk.( You cannot consume this white colour  water/ milk).
  • Now add more ice water to the collected butter and wash it thrice at least.
  • Now you can store this butter in fridge or make it into ghee.
  • The other method is you can make curd,collect cream from the curd and make butter with the above mentioned procedure.
  • If you are making with curd you can consume the leftover buttermilk which you get after collecting he butter.







Notes:

  • You cannot make butter from regular packet milk. Only  raw,unpasteurized milk gives you butter.
  • You can use either cow's milk or buffallo milk.
  • Use hot water to wash the vessels, as regular water will not remove the butterey grease.
  • I got the above quantity of butter from 3 week's collection of cream.
  • Make sure that water and milk is cold.
