Hi thank you for a very interesting video, can you please tell me what weight of butter did you get from the litre of cream, I would like to make it but here in the UK cream is round about £2 for 500ml, so it might not be economical for me to make, thanks again Carol x
Hi Carol. From memory it made a around 500g, but it really depends on the fat in your cream. In Australia the fat content of pure cream is around 35%. Hope that helps 😊
Great video and explanations; thank you. Just FYI that beginning of video could hear you clearly. After you finished using food processor could barely hear what you were saying. Thanks again.
Hi...actually what you have left from making butter IS true buttermilk and tastes much fresher than thick cultured buttermilk that came later. Personally you could not pay me to drink that thick cultured buttermilk although I cook with it...I love real buttermilk. Your butter looks beautiful.
Hi Derek, I don't buy the cream just to make butter because it does turn out to be more expensive in the long run. But if you find cream marked down for quick sale it can be cheaper, plus you get the buttermilk as a byproduct so if you're into baking that can be factored in too. I usually only make butter when I have some in my fridge that is going to go to waste 🙂
@@LittleRiverKitchen Hi I did in the end work out that the buttermilk was a factor in saving, nice in cofee and on cereal. Its well worth making by hand just for fun.
@@degs6169 Only problem is, you've got salty buttermilk doing it this way, which isn't pleasant to drink. Fine for cooking with though. If you add your salt to the butter at the end, then you can use the buttermilk as you would normal milk. I always add my salt later, but it's a personal choice.
Hi thanks for the recipe - but it didn't work. I watched the video, so I know it should work! I,'m in the UK (which might explain something!) I used a Magimix machine, 600ml of Tesco's Double Cream with 50.5g of fat in it the cream had been frozen but as fully defrosted - I added 9g table salt and whisked away for a total of 20-25 mins. It didn't separate, and there as no butter milk. It didn't ball up as in the video. What came out was a very thick mix that tastes fine and can be spooned on bread etc. But no way is it butter. So I'm flagging this because the video looks foolproof (evidently not!) and I'm keen to get this right. Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi Chris. I'm so sorry your butter didn't turn out as expected. There are a few things I can think of. Did you watch the process as the mixer was on. If the mixture continues to process after the butter solids have separated, then it can whip back together. I haven''t used a magimix before but it may be more powerful than a regular food processor. Usually it should only take around 10 minutes, so if this is the case perhaps turn down the setting to half way. The other thing is, the temperature of the cream. Was it cold? If it's room temperature it can be difficult for the buttermilk to separate. I haven't made butter with double cream before so I'm not sure that the increased fat would have made a difference...I'm inclined to think not. I would just expect there to be less buttermilk. Hopefully some of these answers can be of help. Let me know your thoughts. Kind regards, Sharon
From what I have personally learned from a chef is that everything you are using needs to be cold. It was suggested to put the mixer bowl in the refrigerator for an hour, and only take out the cream from the refrigerator the very second before you put it in your mixer/blender/food processor. Usually when it says room temperature, they are talking 68-70 ° F, so if you are in a warmer room, flip on the Air Conditioner. Freezing it could also have caused crystals, making it harder for the buttermilk to separate. Also, which blade attachment did you use.
Hi, im in the UK too, and have just made my first ever batch of butter. I bout a big tub of double cream from marks and soencers and one from sainsburys, surprisinly the msrks one was only £1.35 and the sainsburys one £1.95 . Anyway i only had my hand whisk to whisk it up. I used the msrks one, it took hardly any time to get thick ( passed the whipped cream stage) but took at least 10 mins to get it to where the buttermilk cane out, my srm was aching ha! But it did happen. I just put the butter into a bowl of cold water and squeezed as much as possible, it was easy. I added a little salt and neaded it in a little then popped int onto greaseproof paper and moulded into a block shape. Ive just tried it…. Perfect ! I will try the sainsburys cream after ive had a cuppa. But i might do this all the time, but will probably invest in a food processor ha! No aching arms!
she did mention a likely scenario, where a person bought cream for a recipe but didn't use it all and normally end up throwing it out. Instead, she suggests you could still use it for making butter. So, this is a "wasted food" cost that doesn't need to happen.
@@paulrobinson4865 yeah, my point wasn’t using up unwanted produce. But I have bought vegetables I didn’t get round to using and needed to make a soup or something, however I’ve never bought cream in that amount and not used it. It just seems a lot of effort to make something which is readily available in shops. Home made butter isn’t better than shop bought so for me the effort is unnecessary
@@anthonyg4671 you’ve lost me Anthony. My point was it doesn’t seem worth going to all that effort when it’s readily available in shops, cost effective and quality too. Making something at home, eg a cake is usually done because the home made product is better. In this instance the home made butter isn’t cheaper or better than the shop bought option. Just because she can, or I can or you can has diddly squat to do with anything
@@ianrobson3713 it's all about opinions I suppose, I prefer homemade to be honest only because I throw in some garlic etc I get your point but some people just like doing stuff.
What a great video! So clear and simple with no gimmicks or distractions. Thank you - I will definitely be trying this out!
Thanks Jayne. I'm glad you found it useful. Enjoy your fresh butter! 😊
Great video. Thank you for making this. My wife started making homemade bread, so I wanted to make butter to compliment it. This video was so helpful!
Great video. I really liked the clear instructions and demonstration. Well done!
Thank you 🙏
I never thought I’d be excited to make my own butter, but now I am! Great video! Thank you!!
Lol...thanks Lisa. Happy butter making 😉
Best video to make butter using cream. Thanks
Thanks
Simply amazing. What brand and speed is your food processor?
Fantastic easy to follow video.
Impressive

Parabéns parece bem prático além de ser manteiga pura!
@@isorinam.figueiredo4313 Thankyou :)
Thank you for showing me I want to try next time I get some heavy cream please tell me you know how to make cream cheese
have you ever done this with a hand, power mixer? The kind with 2 interlocking beaters.
Hi Terry, yes but it takes forever and can get pretty messy once the buttermilk starts to separate.
Great video and explanations; thank you. Just FYI that beginning of video could hear you clearly. After you finished using food processor could barely hear what you were saying. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for letting me know :)
like it from sri lanka
Thanks Kamal
How can I save the buttermilk for a later use? Can I freeze it?
Hi...actually what you have left from making butter IS true buttermilk and tastes much fresher than thick cultured buttermilk that came later. Personally you could not pay me to drink that thick cultured buttermilk although I cook with it...I love real buttermilk. Your butter looks beautiful.
Thanks Nancy 😊
Brill thanks
Is it cheaper to make it by hand than buy it ready made?

@@degs6169 It sure is...just make sure you don't add the salt until the end though and not in the beginning like I do in the video 😆

Can’t see the point, almost everyone has access to shop bought butter. Is it a cost issue?

if we all thought like that nobody would do anything, she makes it because she can .

Could not hear how much buttermilk
The amount of buttermilk you get will vary depending on how much fat is in the cream, but from this batch it would have been around 400ml
It’s hard to understand what you’re saying sometimes because of the music
Sorry Anna...lucky there are subtitles 😊
Water that poor plant please.
