This is my first butter making experience so I do not want to extol the ease of which it is done because, actually, I have not even tasted this yet. I have not stored it. I have not made pastry with it.
But for what it is worth it was easy! I beat my litre of heavy cream until it went beyond the stiff peak stage and began to curdle. Only a few minutes later the curds became butter.
I removed the butter and kneaded it on a cutting board to remove as much water as possible. Then I worked it in painfully ice cold water a while longer.
The result is....butter....tada! These butter papers are so adorable and I wrapped it and refrigerated. I can hardly wait for tomorrow when I will do something with it!
Oh Sarah, I just love that all natural butter wrapped in parchment! I remember when my mom made butter a few times and it was like magic, one moment cream, the other butter. And so delicious! I wouldn't have resisted not trying a bit on some bread or toast right away :o)

ReplyDeleteSarah many years ago, longer ago than I like to mention, I used to make al our own butter when we lived on a dairy farm. It all tastes so much better than bought, I am very jealous. Diane

ReplyDeleteWhen my little guy was in kindergarten, one of our school projects was making butter. It was so much fun for both of us! But we didn't have adorable butter wrappers like yours.
