    Another *EXCELLENT* thing to do with butter is to *_smoke_* it!
    Simply take a pound or two of a good quality butter, and put it into a stainless steel bowl, and then put that into a smoker at around 140 degrees f using hickory, apple, cherry, or whatever your favorite smoking wood is. Take it out after 4 or 5 hours, and put it into the 'fridge. Stir it every 20 minutes (or so) until it thickens, then form it into a log, wrap in foil, refrigerate it, and cut off chunks to finish a steak, a salmon filet, or to top a baked potato, or a cob of sweet corn --- or whatever you'd like.
    DELICIOUS!!!

    In Mexico here, Butter is very expensive. And most of it is bleached butter and doesn't have that old style flavor I enjoyed In Australia. We have an outdoor garden restaurant, and we use a lot of butter. I tried making this in our midweek days off...and this is absolutely the best, what I call old style butter. Everyone loved it. Its used in the cooking...on croissants for breakfast, on toast, Makes our homemade seafood sauce for pouring over our grilled seafood broil, completely different, for the better.

      Add a dozen marbles or ball bearings to the jar to make it go more quickly. It cuts the time down by at least half, if not more. Just be careful not to shake too vigorously or the marbles may crack the glass. I did this with a 4th grade class using glass baby food jars and marbles (3 per jar), and it took less than 10 minutes of shaking for each child. I'd say about 7 minutes on average. It should be the same for the mason jars if there's 10-12 marbles added, and you can shake the mason jars more vigorously because the glass is a good bit thicker than the baby food jars. Just make sure to clean the marbles or ball bearings!

In the video, I think chef says he leaves it for one day, but I always leave mine out for 2-3. For each pint of heavy cream I use three tablespoons of buttermilk, let it sit at room temp for 2-3 days, then refrigerate for one day. Then you will have sour cream, and from the sour cream you can then make your butter and cultured buttermilk (or just use your sour cream as sour cream). And yep - you can then use your new buttermilk to continue the cycle.

    Chef is using Marburger buttermilk! This is my absolute favorite buttermilk, and yes I drink buttermilk and it's delicious. If you buy this buttermilk to use in the recipe here or you use buttermilk to make things like biscuits or cornbread or even pancakes, follow Chef's advice and leave the buttermilk out on the counter for at least overnight if not 24 yours .This not only thickens up the buttermilk it gives you more of the culture and a much tarter flavor. Not that long ago you can only get this buttermilk in Pennsylvania and surrounding states however I know you can get it in many supermarkets around the country now. If you can't find this particular variety I highly recommend looking for a Bulgarian style cultured buttermilk which is also very thick and very tart.
    You can also make a variation of chef's recipe bringing the mixture up to between 180 and 200° and make cheese. I believe if you poke around on UA-cam you can find a couple of recipes for cheese using cultured buttermilk. If you've never made it you're missing out

    Being half American (Puerto Rico) and half European (Spain), I can see the difference in food quality. Here in the US, the food is made to have a longer shelf life, procedures that cuts off or changes the food flavor, has ingredients that I cannot even pronounce or having tasteless fruits. Almost every butter I see has so many weird ingredients just to simulate the butter taste and people wonder why we are all fat or unhealthy.
    I know how simple tasting french bread with butter is, like eating in Spain a good "chorizo" or a "jamón serrano''. I make my own home bread at home, but have never tried my own butter yet. I saw in a local Farmer Market here in Florida a RAW milk gallon and I will do your recipe to see if I can get that European butter taste experience again.

    Our daughter milks her own cows, makes her own unpasteurized butter every week, along with cheese, yogurt, etc. Just like you showed how to do, but doesnt need to add buttermilk and yogurt because its so rich and creamy! Lucky me gets to eat it. I made your clafoutis, delicious, and so easy!

    Lovely recipe! When I was in the Kindergarten, my teacher had a bottle of buttermilk mixture, and each student took turns shaking the bottle to create butter. Meanwhile, my teacher Mrs Lockner grated zucchini. She added both ingredients to a pan on a hot plate, and sauteed the veggies. All of us students loved the dish! ❤️

      That's amazing! It obviously left an impression on you, for you to be able to remember it from Kindergarten! When my daughter was in 4th grade, her class was studying the days of pioneers, and as the room parent, I brought in everything for each child to make butter using glass baby food jars and marbles for them to shake until the cream turned into butter. I also brought in a couple of types of bread that were commonly eaten back then from recipes I found online. Initially, they didn't believe that it was possible for something that looked like milk to turn into butter. My daughter is almost 30yo and still friends with several of her classmates. When she comes home for the holidays and I see some of those friends, they often say that day is one of their fondest memories from elementary school.

      Much easier way is to put it in a jar with extra room, and a tight lid. Then just slosh it back and forth from end to end and it will take a lot less time and mess. Also only let it 'gather' 1/2 way, which lets it drain better and allows it to be washed more easily. press into ball as you rinse it. Extra benefit, you gain some arm muscles.
      I grew up on fresh, unpasteurized milk, and we let it just start to sour before making butter. Wish I could still do that as I miss that flavor.

    I am blessed to have both uncultured and cultured butter made from raw cream from grass-fed cows available in the US because I buy my dairy from a farm CSA. Tasting butter of both varieties from raw dairy for the first time was akin to the first time I tried a tomato from my parents garden growing up: it is like night and day when compared to a store-bought tomato. Even expensive butters like kerrygold don't old a candle to that fresh, raw-cream butter I now eat! I like having both cultured and uncultured, as they both can be used for different purposes. The cultured butter is good for spreading on bread or melting over baked potatoes and veggies. The uncultured is nice to cook with, sch as making scrambled eggs.

The taste of butter in Argentina, Uruguay, and France is similar, and I always wondered why. This hits the nail on the head. I also think that it answers a lot of questions regarding health issues, and why food is so unhealthy in so many countries that follow the "American Standard". We are eating food deprived of part of its nutritional value!!

      I'm not sure whether you have a problem with casein, lactose, or something else in dairy. I have become increasingly lactose intolerant over the past 20 years, but I can still have butter, yogurt and some cheese. It's so interesting how the butter-making process separates the lactose, plus the bacteria in the yogurt and cultured milk products like Chef used removes that sugar before we consume it. Unfortunately, lactase enzymes don't work for me as they create too much stomach acid in my system, which ends up causing my body to react the same way it does to lactose, but I am so fortunate to still be able to have butter to make everything better. I noticed that I could consume almost all dairy on my trip to France because most if it was non-pasteurized.
