Homemade Butter In My Bosch Recipes

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Pour cream into the jar and screw on the lid. Shake jar until butter forms a soft lump, 15 to 20 minutes. Continue to shake until buttermilk separates out of the lump and the jar contains a solid lump of butter and liquid buttermilk.
• Pour contents of the jar into a fine mesh strainer and strain out the buttermilk, leaving the solid butter. Remove the lump of butter and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until needed.

HOMEMADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Pour cream into a food processor or blender. Process for 10 minutes, or until the butter separates. Strain off the liquid. Season to taste with salt if you like. Press butter into a small bowl with the back of a spoon to further remove liquid.

HOMEMADE BUTTER IN MY BOSCH

Steps:

• Pour the cream and salt into the Bosch bowl.
• Using the cookie paddles place the lid on the mixer, both pieces and turn to the #2 setting.
• You will begin to see the butter separate in approximately 3 minutes.
• Add the ice cubes and mix another minute.
• Place a large strainer over a bowl and pour the butter into that, letting the whey and butter separate.
• I do not do a lot of rinsing & squeezing.
• Put the solid butter into a plastic tub with a nice shape and press it into the container, continueing to drain off the whey as it surfaces.
• I place it in the coldest spot in my fridge and just pour off the excess whey when I open it to use a bit.
• This is a soft nice butter and it may be a bit crumbly when hardened.

HOME-CHURNED BUTTER

Steps:

• Pour the cream into a jar with a clean marble inside. Screw the lid on tightly. Shake the jar continuously for 5 mins (you can take turns shaking with someone else). The movement of the marble acts as a whisk and helps the butter to churn. You can do it without the marble, it just takes longer. At first the cream will thicken to whipped cream, then it will get even thicker. After about 5 mins you will hear sloshing in the jar - give it a few more vigorous shakes, and that's the butter churned.
• Scrape out the contents into a sieve sitting over a bowl - the liquid that drains out is buttermilk (which can be kept and used for baking or in pancakes), and the fatty solid in the sieve is the butter.
• With clean hands, squeeze the butter between your fingers over the sieve to squeeze out any more buttermilk, while working it into a ball. 'Wash' the butter in a bowl of ice-cold water to get rid of any residual buttermilk.
• To make brandy butter, beat the sugar and a small pinch of salt into the butter, then work in the brandy 1 tbsp at a time. Will keep in the fridge for up to one week.
