Has anyone ever made their own butter at home? |
|
On one of Emeril's shows he put whole milk in a mason jar and started shaking it. He said after 20 or 30 minutes of shaking there would be a big ball of butter in the middle. Then I think he strained it through a cheesecloth or something, and added salt.
Has anyone ever done this and/or do you have the full recipe/instructions?
Thanks

1. We made butter in my elementary school class like that. |
|
Put some milk in a tupperware container and passed it around, each shaking as long as we could. Yes, it did turn into butter! I bet a Google search would find you some tips.

6. Have done it many times |
|
for the fun of it.
But, organic butter is just as good , maybe even more healthy if it is made from organic butterfat.

8. We wore out the kids that way, once... |
|
One Thanksgiving, three different people thought they were supposed to bring the whipping cream... So I did the mason jar trick with the kids... They were fairly small at the time, and it took them a LOT of shaking to get it to become butter...
We then strained it in a strainer, and put some salt in and mashed it around in a bowl for a while. The kids ate some on hardrolls. They were MUCH quieter after that!!!

...but I was intending to make whipped cream, mentally drifted, and suddenly had some very, very sweet, vanilla flavoured butter . No great loss, it was great on cinnamon toast. I haven't done it since.
