Homemade Butter - Continued

Hi...
I made the butter today..you guys can view the pictures i've taken by clicking on the title of this post.. Its really cool and really simple..

First of all: I used 1 cup of whipping cream which through research, the best temperature is approximately 15 degrees, i just took mine out of the fridge, and it worked fine..and i just started the blender on the slowest mode i have.. then slowly it will change and periodically (a few seconds..not minutes) you check on the cream and see if it has turned into butter..which is obviously very different and yellow in color.. After that..when you feel that its ready, add around 100ml ice cold water and blend for a few seconds..(Only do this if you don't want the milk..cause i tried and the milk tastes like water..) If you want the milk, then don't add water and just separate the milk from the butter..The milk is called buttermilk..

Then, the butter needs to be washed with water. My tap water has a filter so it has no chlorine in it, if you don't have a filter, then use the water that you use for drinking. Add a little at a time and using a fork or spoon, press down on the butter to get the milk out and stir it around in the water. Keep repeating this process until the water becomes clear when you wash it. Then you may add a little salt and just mix it around. And..you're basically done!

You can store it in a small tupperware, and for me, i bought greaseproof paper from cold storage or ntuc, for only 80cents or $1.25 respectively, and put your butter in the tupperware on top of the greaseproof paper so that it is easy for cleaning up..just throw the paper away and you don't really need to wash the tupperware, unless otherwise..

Just keep it in the freezer so that it can get solid and you may use it already!

Of course there is another method for those who don't have a blender, it is to put the cream in a tight lidded jar and shake as hard as you can..but this can take a much longer time and requires more physical movement..of course..HaHa..

Try it..and if you have any problems..just ask me..and we'll figure it out.. =)
