How to Make Butter at Home

Hello Dear Friends,

We started to make many of our basic foods at home. Since my daughter was 6 months old and we started making yoghurt, we have also been consuming cream cheese for breakfast. As a matter of fact, we buy 2 liters of raw milk every week and I ferment 5-6 jars of yogurt for daily consumption from it. (You can find my article on how to make yogurt at home here.)

I used to make baby curd or curd cheese for my daughter's breakfast by curdling the remaining milk with yogurt or vinegar. (The recipe is here.)

After boiling raw milk for the last 1,5 months, when it came to room temperature, we started to put it in the refrigerator. In the morning, we would take it out of the fridge and separate the cream. In this way, the creamer is thicker and easier to collect. The trick is to put the pot in the refrigerator with the lid open. We started to store this cream in a container in the freezer. 

On Sunday morning, when the container was full, we said ok, it's time to make butter :) The result is that we collected about 950 g of cream.

So there is only one difficulty in making butter and that is being patient to collect milk cream from a small size like us :)

Now that we get into the subject of homemade butter, we need to tell 1-2 more things. The first of these is buttermilk, buttermilk or whey. We also obtain this water when making curd. recipe here and very useful. We can use this water in many dishes.

The other is to sweeten the oil with salt, if desired. After separating the buttermilk and washing the butter, you can add salt and mix it. Not only salt, but many different spices, You can season it with fresh herbs.  Adding salt also extends the life of the oil.

I would love to share my recipes with your photos in my story :) My Instagram account: @kitchensirlari
