How do you make whipped butter?

Answer 1

You can make butter by putting cream in a jar and shaking until butter forms. Butter is made from the cream content of milk; cream is the part of the milk with the highest fat content. The cream is whipped, known as churning, until the fat droplets in the cream start to separate from the liquid part.

In the end, pure milk fat is obtained and the liquid, buttermilk, removed. This fat, which we call butter, is then rinsed of any remaining buttermilk and sometimes seasoned with salt.

You can easily make butter at home by whipping full-fat cream using electric beaters.

Just pour the cream into a large mixing bowl - to save mess, if you're using electric hand beaters, fold a kitchen cloth into a square, damp it and put it in the sink, and put the bowl on it. The damp cloth stabilizes the bowl, and you've less cleaning to do later. I use hand beaters for all beating work, and always put the mixing bowl into the sink.

Now put the beaters in and start whipping on high speed. At first the cream will look like ordinary whipped cream: keep beating and it will reduce; soon the the butter will begin to form.

Reduce speed now, otherwise there'll be buttermilk flying everywhere. When the butter is formed, pour off the buttermilk. Now rinse the butter in the bowl under the cold tap, drain (just tip the bowl while holding the butter in with a bowl-strainer), and repeat the rinsing until you've absolutely no buttermilk left. Now use a spatula to scoop the butter together into an oblong or oval shape, wrap it in greasproof paper, and refrigerate. Or you can push it down into a butterdish, the deep sort with a lid.

Don't add salt to the butter. As with store-bought butter, unsalted is much more versatile because you can use it for all kinds of cooking, including medium-heat frying. You can always add salt later, to the foods you use the butter with.

The important things to remember are that the cream must be totally pure - no added anything - and must contain around 48 per cent milk fat, and have no additives. It needs to be at room temperature (about 20 C; 68 F) when you start whipping. And all the buttermilk must be rinsed away, or your lovely home-made butter won't keep for very long at all.

It's no cheaper to make butter this way, unless you've the chance to buy double cream very cheaply, but it's fun, and kids can do it themselves, or help. You can freeze the butter: simply put it, in its greaseproof wrap, into a freezer bag, squeeze out the air, seal and freeze.

Answer 2

The easiest way is in a microwave and half power at 60 seconds. Or if a stick of butter, try 30 seconds. The butter will still retain its shape even after melted. SO you need to take it out and stir it befor increasing temperature and time. Otherwise it separates. If on a stove. Use low heat and stir it and keep an eye on it or it will burn.
You can melt butter in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl, or you can melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low to low heat.

Answer 3

Just churn some cream until the butter separates. A simple way to do it is to put some cream into a mason jar and shake it until the blob of butter forms (it takes several minutes, so it might be a good task for people to share). After the blob forms, take it out and add a little salt (if you plan to use it on bread) then firm it up in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Answer 4

Butter is made by churning cream or rich milk that has not been homogenized. "Churning" is agitation. In a modern home kitchen, butter can be made by beating cream with an electric mixer until the butter solids separate from the liquid, which is called "buttermilk."

Answer 5

Let the butter come to room temperature. Put it in the bowl of an electric mixer and mix on high speed until it looks lighter in color and air is incorporated. Put the whipped butter in a covered bowl and return to the refrigerator.

Answer 6

butter is made by combining milk, salt, cow fat and water and churning it until desired thickness

Answer 7

firstly you cream some butter and then add some icing sugar and cream together (you can also add in food colouring) only use when light and fluffy.

Answer 8

butter is made by beating/whipping/stirring cream until it turns solid = butter

Answer 9

you go to the store and buy it...
