To salt do not add more than a small half teaspoon for each half pound (250 gr) – half that amount suits me but I don’t take a lot of salt. The butter-making process takes several minutes, but the final separation of butter solids and buttermilk happens quite suddenly at the end. Be prepared for some splashing! Making butter with a handheld electric mixer Salt (and season) to taste: Do you like your butter salted, or not? I prefer baking with unsalted butter (to best control the salt level in the recipe) and using salted butter as a condiment: on toast, biscuits, scones, pancakes, and slices of crusty bread, to name just a few favorites. When you make your own butter, you can add just the amount of salt you prefer. (To replicate the salt level of store-bought butter, use a scant 1/4 teaspoon table salt per 4 ounces (113g) of homemade butter.)

Flavor: Homemade butter is striking: It tastes unbelievably fresh. I tested my first batch of homemade butter against my favorite supermarket brand, and the difference was clear: Freshly made butter tastes FRESH, unlike butter that’s sat at the supermarket for a while. Thankfully, I put aside any hasty negative assumptions and read up on homemade butter. As it turns out, it’s simple to make if you have a stand (or hand) mixer, a blender, or a food processor. Within about 10 minutes, you can turn cream into solid butter. Elapsed time: This can vary a lot depending on the power of your mixer and whether it comes equipped with old-fashioned flat-blade beaters rather than whisk-type beaters. Flat-blade beaters will produce butter in as little as 6 to 8 minutes; using whisk-type beaters will extend that time to 10 to 12 minutes. In addition, homemade butter is soft and malleable before being chilled, perfect for making compound butter by stirring in some garlic, cheese powder, cinnamon sugar, or your favorite sweet or savory add-in. Can you do this with store-bought butter? Sure; it’s just less convenient since you have to soften the butter first.You do not need much equipment to make butter at home, a bowl and large jar with a lid being the minimum. If you have a food processor or an electric whisk then the task will be much easier. Heavy cream, whipping cream, or heavy whipping cream are all suitable choices for making homemade butter. Heavy cream, with the highest percentage of butterfat, will yield the most butter; lower-fat whipping cream will yield less. How to do it: Pour cream into a large mixing bowl. Using the beaters (not the whisk), beat at medium-high speed. The cream will gradually go from soft whipped to stiff whipped to separated. When it starts to separate, drape a large dish towel over your hands and the top of the bowl to shield yourself and your surroundings from splashing buttermilk (and/or move the bowl to a deep kitchen or workshop sink). Continue to beat until the butter and buttermilk have fully separated.

If you think you’re going to make butter out of that 1/4 cup of heavy cream leftover from making Never-Fail Biscuits, think again. It’s difficult to make butter from anything less than about 1 1/2 cups (12 ounces, 340g) of cream; most full-size mixers and food processors simply don’t like dealing with small amounts of liquid. And with the yield of butter from cream ranging from about 35% to 50% (tops) by weight, it’s frankly not worth the effort (even if you do manage it) to start with a cup or less of cream and end up with just 6 or 7 tablespoons of homemade butter. With a jar you need to half fill the jar, put the lid on and shake it for anything between half an hour and an hour. This is hard work, especially for any quantity and I’ve not tried it myself.b) perfectly stable butter composition resulting from low basic moisture which allows easy adjustment by dosing pump. Due to this method, butter can be produced exactly in accordance with current legislation. Large volume cylinder with conical-shaped beater that has specially designed blades allowing very low churning speeds, these contribute to providing a perfect formation of butter grain. Final product: Softer and creamier than butter made using a mixer, since it retains more of the buttermilk. Unless you have your own cow or access to a dairy, you are not going to save any money by making your own butter. As with most commodity products in the supermarket, the retail price of butter is less than you can buy the raw materials for at retail
