If you will change from the whisk to the paddle when the butter starts to separate from the milk it will be much easier to remove the butter (from the paddle rather than from the whisk) Run the paddle on high speed until butter forms. Pour off the milk, slow the mixer down with the paddle on and it will help "press out" the butter milk. Pour off the milk, add a little ice water and run the mixer on low or press the butter with a spatula to remove more of the milk. Drink or great for making bread
MAN ONLY IF I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO MY GRANDMA WHEN I WAS A VERY YOUNG CHILD AND SHE WAS VERY OLD WHAT A SHAME.LIFE IS VERY HARD THEN YOU GET OLD AND YOUNG PEOPLE HATE FOR THAT.SAD.
I have known for a long time, that whipping whipping cream too far and you get butter. I did not know how much further you had to go to get full on butter. I still need to log it.
OK! I know I'm late to the party, but this IS insane! I actually made this today and my mind is blown! I know how to make butter!! I followed your instructions but opted to add a little salt for flavoring. Thank you! I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway when he makes fire for the first time!
I added roasted garlic to one of my batches for lobster or crab, and then blue cheese and thyme to another batch to top my steaks and burgers.....so much you can do after learning this!
yah for real. Im always a diy'er in about everything and grew up cooking and baking with my grandma's and so I should have known about this before but I dont know why I hadnt read about this before. It seems too easy, like Im missing a catch somewhere. lol I use lots of butter cooking and this would be awesome to create different versions of seasoned butter that is just as I prefer instead of always not being exactly satisfied with the butter I buy and trying different ones all the time.
I just made butter for the first time thanks to you! I added some local virgin honey after the rinse and whipped it a little bit longer and OMG! You rock girl, I saved this vid to me 'recipe book' - totes nom!
Finally! Someone who really knows how to make butter properly. So many butter making videos I've seen where they don't even bother to wash the butter multiple times in ice cold water. Or they just run some tap water over it once. If you're going to make it, make it right. And this lady makes it right. Thanks!
@@kimberlyswensen1061 I just throw it all in at one time. I have a busy speed professor ,so it chops the orange find. And really cold thick cream. It only takes about 5 minutes on high speed. And only about 1 quart of cream.
I know you posted this video years ago but I'm just now discovering it, and I wanted to say THANK YOU for showing each step SO clearly! I've watched/read countless tutorials, and always got super confused at the "rinse the butter" step. I just made my first batch and it's delicious! =)
Rinsing the butter under a faucet just removes all the milk... The butter will stay fresher longer if you rinse. Also after you rinse place butter in a bowl of cold water and ice cubes. Heat of your hands start melting the newly made butter.
This worked awesome. Started Thanksgiving morning by making butter this way. Pulled a couple cups of whip cream off for the Pancakes and pies then used the buttermilk for some pancakes. Used the butter the rest of the day for all the cooking. Thanks for sharing!
10 years later, and this is still one awesome,informative, and well done video! Thank you for putting this up, cooking videos take a lot of effort. ❤❤🥰💕👍🏻🌟👌🏻
Thank you for this. It was perfect in the kitchen aid. I followed what another commenter said, as soon as it started to stick together I spun the butter mixture off the ballon whisk and replaced with the white paddle. Worked a treat. And it took less than 6 minutes in total plus all the rinsing with iced water. Thank you for a lovely and easy to follow format!
i wonder how the very first person making butter discovered it. "I'm just going to take this milk and SHAKE IT FURIOUSLY for.... yeah, say ten minutes. No reason why."
@mmmhm: The discovery of butter, eh ? {cracks knuckles) The evolution of dairy products seems easily reverse engineerable to me. Unpasteurized and unhomogenized milk, straight from a cow, naturally separates into milk and cream in a few short hours. If you do nothing, both will continue to thicken all by themselves via bacterial action into yogurt and sour cream, one floating atop the other. Before refrigeration existed, both source products (raw milk and fresh cream, both highly perishable) were preserved (prior to natural souring/thickening) by removing the excess liquid - either boiling it down to a fudge-like product, or coagulating (either with rennet from a calf's stomach or acid from citrus or wine vinegar) and straining the results. Both solids (from milk and cream) were usually salted to further protect them - but they invariably continued to mature over time depending on how they were handled/stored, and that's how cheese evolved. As for whipped cream - yogurt from milk thins when you whisk it, whereas if you whisk thickened cream it gets even thicker, and I'm sure some dairy aficianado probably though the latter would taste even better if you whipped it before it soured, and viola ... whipped cream. It's also a human tendency to assume if something is good, more could surely be better, and proceeded to beat their whipped cream until it fell apart and produced butter. The liquid left from butter would then continue to thicken and sour all by itself, just like yogurt (from milk), only this time into buttermilk. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it. ;-)
What an amazing video. I really had no idea you could do this. We made butter when I was a young boy in 1st grade with an actual butter churn. I thought it was either that or store bought. To see this first hand and the actual process, well tonight we did it and BAMMM there it was. I do not think it will be anytime soon where I buy store bought butter again. With all the baking we do, well this is yet another healthy and nutrious way to bake and just a BIG thank you. Keep baking and happy mixing. From our kitchen to yours... Cheers...
Good video! Straight forward and informative. Clear instructions and pleasant tone to your voice enhanced the viewing experience. I will try this at home. Thanks
I have done this in a magic bullet with the flat blade. I often find discounted cream at the store and buy it and freeze it and make butter with it like this whenever I need it. Little pats of flavored butter look really fancy at parties.
My husband and I took your lead and made our first batch of butter in the mixer. We expect to have completely clogged arteries this time next year. It tastes so good!
Mary, there is a lot of discussion about that right now. Many holistic doctors believe that margarine which has many of the components of plastic is the main culprit for clogged arteries. It is not real food and the body doesn't know how to process it. It would make sense when you look at the statistics of increase in heart disease since the Docs went nuts about butter and eggs years ago. They didn't wipe out heart disease after people stopped eating butter. In fact, in increased. And they have already admitted their error about eggs. Natural is always better., I think.
OMG! Thank you for explaining everything in detail, so quickly and efficiently. I just tried making butter from someone else’s recipe and ended up with something between whipped cream and butter because they didn’t explain anything like you did. So thank you 😊. I’ll try again with my mixer ( they said I could do it in a jar) 🙄. I’ll be back to check out your other videos.
Thank you for posting this recipe. I received my Kitchenaid Standmixer today and this was the first thing I used it for. It worked perfectly and your video was so easy to follow, thank you.
Made some homemade bread today and thought to myself, "Dang, some homemade butter would be awesome too. Make some killer butter toast!". Thankfully, I had whipping cream in my fridge. I did add some salt after pressing out all the water. Might even start making this on a regular instead of buying a tub at the store. Thanks for sharing this recipe, turned out great!
Using raw cream it seems to take a lot longer than 10 mins to get my butter. I will say that I attach the splatter guard and wrap a tea towel around before I crank on the mixer! Once I get the buttermilk, I attach the dough spatula (the one with the rubber side) on the mixer to help press out all the buttermilk- works pretty good and a lot less dishes. My butter also comes out really fluffy- not sure why, but hubby likes it.
I was using my stand mixer for maybe 5-10 minutes and couldn't get it to separate. Do I need to go longer? I was using heavy whipping cream. Hope it's the right stuff.🤷♂️
Great video!! I tried this just for the experience and it went as expected. It did take quite a bit longer to start separating than I thought it would so I almost thought it was a failure. I hung in there and eventually got a nice little container of butter! I was surprised that it tasted much different than store butter. I am not sure if it's because this is what real butter tastes like or if it is just the result of using heavy whipping cream. I would like to get my hands on farm fresh milk/cream so I can experiment further.
I just tried it with heavy whipping cream and all I got was whipping. How long did you have to whip it up? I think I spent 5 minutes on high and did not see any separation.
Hi, I read thru a lot of comments. Your resembled my question. I’m using a 7qt KA mixer and it’s (still working on it) taking way longer than 3 min. The first 3 was whipped cream. The next 3 was more whipped cream, with hints of separation. I’m approaching 10 at least and it’s starting to sound like a lump is forming. I’ve done this once before with store bought whipping cream. Two days ago I scored from a bit to distant dairy farmer a large jar of un homogenized whole milk. Instead of just drinking it and it being gone I decided to use about 1/3 to have butter which should last awhile and be more enjoyed. Even with the towel it looks like it’s making a mess. At about 11 min full speed I’m getting close. It tastes awsome at this point.
That was the best butter making tutorial ever think you about? I've all been making butter in my kitchen aid, but I've never thought to do the Rensing in it. I've always done it by hand thank you so much which I haven't been doing it at high enough speed. I've been doing it lower speed. So it's been taking forever. And now I don't have to thank you.
Thank you. Very Nice tutorial! I made butter!!! Homemade. Was so nice and delicious and it was fun making as well. Soooo lusciously soft as well. I ate spread some on fresh bread with some homemade strawberry jam.....yum! Making it felt like magic. Feel so proud of myself. Smells divine too. After rinsing out the buttermilk from the butter with water until it runs clear, I would recommend using a cheesecloth to squeeze out all of the water completely from the butter so that it lasts longer, doesn't go rancid. The more water u squeeze out, the better. I'm about to make some homemade scones using part of the butter and the buttermilk I made. Wish me luck. Forgot to say, I used a hand mixer and it worked out ok.
Thank you for sharing I just bought a KitchenAid from Costco Made bread today now I'm excited I want to get some attachments and make some butter and you made it look super easy thank you for sharing
I've never used my kitchen aid for making butter but I put it in a jug at holidays with a tight fitting lid (gallon milk jug with screw on top) and let the boys play ball with it to keep them busy while i'm cooking, so their contribution to dinner is fresh made butter!
What a FANTASTIC teacher!!! I love how precise you are and how you give detailser. Perfect instruction easy for dummies like me to follow a recipe. God bless you!!
We ALL 'have a life', but some of us prefer making things ourselves, for half the cost as store bought, as well as, controlling what goes into our food.
Laurie Myrick, Let me see your breakdown of the cost to make your own butter. Include the cost of the electricity if you used electrical equipment, cost of the electrical gadget, also the cost of electricity for the lighting, cost of the water for rinsing, cost of the ice cubes (more electricity to run the freezer), cost of the ice cube trays... See where I am going with this?
But Laurie Myrick CLEARLY state that it IS about cost, for her. So I am still waiting for her to do the cost analysis. I am confident that it is less costly for her to buy it at the supermarket.
Unsure why you're replying to a 2 year old comment, it's rather futile. Anyway, I make butter at home as I enjoy folding in other flavor elements like herbs and spices. I also enjoy smoking the butter with applewood or cherry smoke. This is real butter, not margarine, which if I purchased in a farm shop here in the UK would cost me around 3 pounds a block. (The majority of supermarket 'butters' are margarine.) Also my homemade butter doesn't contain the food additives that supermarket bought stuff does. In this UK this includes, but is not limited to, aspartame, trans fats, food colourings, emulsifiers and many other e-numbers.
@Thomas Brace. "The majority of supermarket 'butters' are margarine." Well, giving you the benefit of the doubt, apparently, UK has radically different requirements for what constitutes butter than does the USA. ==================================================== For the purposes of the Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906 (Thirty-fourth Statutes at Large, page 768) “butter” shall be understood to mean the food product usually known as butter, and which is made exclusively from milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional coloring matter, and containing not less than 80 per centum by weight of milk fat, all tolerances having been allowed for. ======================================================= Did you read that carefully? Made from cream and/or milk, with MILK FAT content of at least 80% by weight! Now considering that typical supermarket butter contains about 16% water, that leaves a whopping 4% that could be "margarine fat"! So why don't you check the UK requirement and report back.
Something to add: For a tangy cultured butter similar to the European style, first turn your creme into creme fraiche, THEN make butter with the creme fraiche instead of normal cream. Works the same way, but the butter will have a far more complex (read amazing) flavor and the buttermilk will be so good you'll want to just pour it into a glass and drink it. I always culture my cream now, before making butter.
I just read your link saying add buttermilk to cream. If you add lemon to milk you get buttermilk so why not cut out the middleman and just add lemon to cream?
@@kelleyspartiatis4776 no, buttermilk is made as a byproduct of making butter. When you add lemon all you're really doing is curdling some of it. You use buttermilk because it's cultured. It has live cultures in it. The live cultures are what sour the cream to make creme fraiche.
@@pookierat56 Same here. This is an interesting way to make it but the food processor is much faster. I use my stand mixer to get the butter fluffier to incorporate more air so that it'll spread easier. When mine has sat for a day, it gets very hard
My goal with this channel is to encourage people of all diets to eat healthier by making their own food. I don't feed my own children any dairy products and I rarely eat it myself. However, as a person who enjoys making food, I often make food for others and recognize the benefits of making food from scratch with ingredients sourced from local organic farmers whenever possible. Not everyone choses to eat the same, but everyone does benefit from good food! =) God Bless! ~Erika
you rock! I'm going to try that this weekend. I've got a fabulous Kitchen Aid and I want to really put it through it's paces and what a better gift to give than homemade butter - my dad will be REALLY excited
It is cool! I have made butter already once Julia, and the washing part was the part that I didn't get so easily. They just said "wash it in cold water a few times! So I tried her method on my mixer, and oi la! It came out great with a lot less liquid (before I was literally squeezing it with my hands). I use 1/2 raw cream and 1/2 pasteurized, because my family finds the all raw to "gamey." I try to pound those nutrients in where I can!
Thank you so much for doing this video for us! You did an excellent job! Some people add salt to their butter. At what stage would you add the salt? And how much salt and what kind of salt would you add? Can I use this butter for baking recipes? Thank you for your time!
Julie Nolan You add the salt after the rinsing the butter milk off the butter and the reason is for Taste as well as it lasts longer in the refrigerator.
What clarity your voice and film and instructions are! I successfully made butter on my first try yesterday (how could one not?) and surely will be hooked... Next is reading up on how to culture the buttermilk.. Thank you.
Thank you so much Patty Janette for the sweet comment! I'm so glad the butter turned out for you... For more info on how to culture the buttermilk, visit @CulturesforHealth UA-cam & website... they are great! God Bless! ~Erika
If you have a food processor... you can make this same butter in about 4 minutes from start to finish. Just put the cream in and turn on the processor until the butter is all balled up.. .then simply rinse the butter in cold water to clean out the whey.
my um used to make butter with left over cream when I was young. I have never seen the rinsing done like that though. When I come accross some reduced cream I will give your method a try. Thank you, your visuals and audio instructions are very clear and understandable. I will be subscribing.
I use the dough hook attachment on slow speed, (I cover and walk away for several minutes while it washes the butter) it works really well to wash and then salt the butter.. good video!
TIP: You don’t have to go high power on the mixer as she’s doing. It will take a few mins longer but the benefit is that you won’t destroy you kitchen with splattered heavy cream. It’s okay... A little calm goes a long way.
@@22julip you using heavy cream? I've made butter with just a handheld mixer. If you're mixing enough to make whipped cream then you're doing it right. Once it passes whipped cream it start to separate. If you're using the right cream then you're not whisking fast or hard enough. In the UK we call it double cream
Kelley Spartiatis thank you like I said I use a kitchen aid stand mixer I used to make butter a lot once in a while it would not separate but the last 4-5 times all I get is whipped cream. It starts to separate but it only clumps about half then it turns to whipped cream. I’m afraid to try it again because heavy cream is expensive.it was humid in the house that’s all I can think of . I know it works because one time it did turn to butter but the next time nothing. I guess I’ll never know
@@22julip very odd! I heard that you can whip the butter back to cream if you whip for long enough. Don't know how true that is. I need to investigate this and will come back to you. My curiosity has won out!
Thank you, thank you! You put alot of time and effort explaining butterology. If your not a teacher, you should consider it. I've had that kitchen aide artisan a year now, and at 49 yo, and cooking/playing with food since I was 20'ish, I have to say that this one machine (and my sous vide, and convection oven) elevated my cooking to a much surprising level I didn't expect. That, and some good teachers! Bravo for this tutorial. Sometimes I work my kitchen aide so hard, I can smell the gears and oil getting hot and feel sorry for it. But it is one tough little machine, and so versatile.
I am seriously thinking about buying a Kitchenaid .. and AlWAYS want to make my own butter since we worked on the Ranch many years ago... What I didn't know then was to keep beating the butter with FRESH water until it ran CLEAR... The woman who allegedly was trying to teach me HOW TO make butter was on the "Other" ranch... I never could do it right... because She didn't tell me to keep rinsing with water until it was clear... NOW... I can make butter with a Kitchenaid stand mixer... Do you make Bread and Pizza dough with your stand mixer? I was thinking about getting the 600 Pro because making lots of batches of bread and pizza dough.. Thank YOU so much for sharing this GREAT Video...
Wow, I really like this video. I have a KitchenAid stand up mixer and smart enough to know that if I had a Hamilton Beach, I could still use this technique. The comments on this got way off track and really unnecessary. I'm not religious but I respect those that are. Unless someone is preaching their beliefs, why not just accept the kindness of a little GB instead of being so rude and inflict us with your hateful spew? +Andrew Dahl. Your inappropriate bitching was way more offensive than a few GB. Got Friends? I can't wait to try this. Thank you for taking the time to show us.
Any comment section on youtube gets out of hand and off subject. I have learned to ignore it. The people who do this are called Internet trolls and they bassically bully people over a computer screen, if you don't bite they will stop.
Perfect instructional video. You have a wonderful speaking voice. I like how you showed All the steps in such detail. Thank you I am actually going to try this. Have a blessed day!
depends how cheap butter is and how cheap cream is. If you can get the giant, cheap, jugs of cream at a restaurant supply store, or costco, its possible to make butter cheaper than buying it. But you'd have to make a lot of butter to save any money...and it would be dimes and nickels.
Right!??? I just went onto Kitchenaid's website as my kitchen appliances are this color - I don't have that splash guard, which would be lovely on some of the recipes I use it to make - though a draped over clean dishtowel works wonders too.
I've done this for my own kids and my grand kids. They are amazed! The milk that is left is also good to drink. It does not taste like store-bought buttermilk, because dairies turn their cream chemically sour. It churns faster than sweet cream.
I was thinking about how much work my grandmother did when she had to churn butter I'm a wooden butter churner. With a family of 13 it likely did not last long.
This is the right procedure but there is no way that this takes less than 10 minutes. You won't even have whipped cream after 10 minutes. I think it's important to set people's expectations properly.
You can see where there are edit cuts. The title doesn't imply it takes less than 10 min. I didn't watch it intro because I just wanted to see what I looks like when you stop beating it.
My mixer has been going for 45 minutes and the butter has still not clung to the balloon whisk attachment. Very very concerned with the contents of the bottle of "cream"!
Thank you for this! I make butter all the time in small batches and never understood what they meant by "washing" the butter in cold water. Now it makes sense!
Thank you for the butter-making tutorial. I have the exact same Artisan Aqua Sky Kitchenaid mixer 🩵 I just need to get the splash guard. I want to make salted butter and garlic butter. Would I use the mixer to combine them? Thank you 😊
***** If in fact that is what you're actually getting. In this day and age you never know what's in the package anymore. Did you know that if you go to the store and buy a jar of honey, you may be getting a jar of corn syrup with a little honey added for taste? Seems that the Chinese have learned we like our honey and they are selling tons of fake honey to distributors here in the US and they are repackaging it as real honey.
***** Yes, but you have to make butter from milk or cream which you usually buy from a supermarket, too. So you cannot be absolutely sure that this is 100% pure milk or cream. Whatever you do, you cannot be sure to make butter from scratch as you do not know what might have been added to the milk or cream. I would not do this on a regular basis, but I'd do it once in a while for fun or for teaching kids what butter actually is and how it is made. A nice idea is then to give each kid an opportunity to season their own butter and let them taste each other's butter afterwards. Anyway, this is certainly one justification to buy a kitchen machine (if people need one ;-)) because doing this with a hand mixer would be rather - exhausting, I guess.
+Dave Casey (dgcasey) speaking of the chinese, a few years back they had a problem with baby formula. there were factories that were making fake formula that was engineered to past tests to determine the fake from the real.i am not for sure but i think they did the same with milk. but i have noticed one thing, i am lactose intolerant, and i can go to the store and drink whole and 2% with no problem. i wonder . . . . . . . . . .
If you don't own a splatter guard... I used a paper plate with the middle cut out and taped it to my bowl. One time use but worked great!
Mercy Hoyt This is such a great suggestion... Thanks! =) God Bless! ~Erika
A Little Insanity I noticed if I turned up the speed as it thickens this seemed to make a huge difference in the amount of cream splattering. However once I added the ice water to wash my butter.... WATCH OUT LOL. Hence is why the plate idea is one time use only, but we had fun.

If you will change from the whisk to the paddle when the butter starts to separate from the milk it will be much easier to remove the butter (from the paddle rather than from the whisk) Run the paddle on high speed until butter forms. Pour off the milk, slow the mixer down with the paddle on and it will help "press out" the butter milk. Pour off the milk, add a little ice water and run the mixer on low or press the butter with a spatula to remove more of the milk. Drink or great for making bread
Thanks for the tip!
I've been making butter this way for years.
A loaf of fresh baked bread, jar of homemade jam and fresh made butter is a great Holiday gift.
Because it tells people you give a damn. That's why, and you are 100% correct.

i wonder how the very first person making butter discovered it. "I'm just going to take this milk and SHAKE IT FURIOUSLY for.... yeah, say ten minutes. No reason why."
REKTED (
Pretty sure this was also how cheese was discovered.
I also wonder how the very first person who saw a lobster and said..hmm.. I going to eat that ugly looking creature.
Starvation. The answer is always starvation. (Which certainly explains such things as hakarl and lutefisk.)
@mmmhm: The discovery of butter, eh ? {cracks knuckles)
The evolution of dairy products seems easily reverse engineerable to me. Unpasteurized and unhomogenized milk, straight from a cow, naturally separates into milk and cream in a few short hours. If you do nothing, both will continue to thicken all by themselves via bacterial action into yogurt and sour cream, one floating atop the other.
Before refrigeration existed, both source products (raw milk and fresh cream, both highly perishable) were preserved (prior to natural souring/thickening) by removing the excess liquid - either boiling it down to a fudge-like product, or coagulating (either with rennet from a calf's stomach or acid from citrus or wine vinegar) and straining the results. Both solids (from milk and cream) were usually salted to further protect them - but they invariably continued to mature over time depending on how they were handled/stored, and that's how cheese evolved. As for whipped cream - yogurt from milk thins when you whisk it, whereas if you whisk thickened cream it gets even thicker, and I'm sure some dairy aficianado probably though the latter would taste even better if you whipped it before it soured, and viola ... whipped cream. It's also a human tendency to assume if something is good, more could surely be better, and proceeded to beat their whipped cream until it fell apart and produced butter. The liquid left from butter would then continue to thicken and sour all by itself, just like yogurt (from milk), only this time into buttermilk.
That's my story, and I'm sticking with it. ;-)
By far this is the BEST video online for making butter! Well done, thanks so much. Loved your clear tutorial!!
Thank you! I made it today by your instructions (but with food processor) and the result is awesome. Very delicious.
What an amazing video. I really had no idea you could do this. We made butter when I was a young boy in 1st grade with an actual butter churn. I thought it was either that or store bought. To see this first hand and the actual process, well tonight we did it and BAMMM there it was. I do not think it will be anytime soon where I buy store bought butter again. With all the baking we do, well this is yet another healthy and nutrious way to bake and just a BIG thank you. Keep baking and happy mixing. From our kitchen to yours...
Cheers...
Good video! Straight forward and informative. Clear instructions and pleasant tone to your voice enhanced the viewing experience. I will try this at home. Thanks
I have a different brand of stand mixer and it worked great. Easy, easy and easy. Thank you!
I have done this in a magic bullet with the flat blade. I often find discounted cream at the store and buy it and freeze it and make butter with it like this whenever I need it. Little pats of flavored butter look really fancy at parties.
Wow!, I have a magic bullet, I will have to try this.
My husband and I took your lead and made our first batch of butter in the mixer. We expect to have completely clogged arteries this time next year. It tastes so good!
Mary, there is a lot of discussion about that right now. Many holistic doctors believe that margarine which has many of the components of plastic is the main culprit for clogged arteries. It is not real food and the body doesn't know how to process it. It would make sense when you look at the statistics of increase in heart disease since the Docs went nuts about butter and eggs years ago. They didn't wipe out heart disease after people stopped eating butter. In fact, in increased. And they have already admitted their error about eggs. Natural is always better., I think.
You're from English Heritage right?!
Wkwkkwk
Wkwkwk
Yes😄
lmaooo i clicked on this video thinking "i bet someone commented something about english heritage/mrs crocombe" and then i saw this comment
Yep
I made this today and I m so happy , awesome result. Thanks
OMG! Thank you for explaining everything in detail, so quickly and efficiently. I just tried making butter from someone else’s recipe and ended up with something between whipped cream and butter because they didn’t explain anything like you did. So thank you 😊. I’ll try again with my mixer ( they said I could do it in a jar) 🙄. I’ll be back to check out your other videos.
Because making butter is one of the simplest things a person can do.
Thank you for posting this recipe. I received my Kitchenaid Standmixer today and this was the first thing I used it for. It worked perfectly and your video was so easy to follow, thank you.
Made some homemade bread today and thought to myself, "Dang, some homemade butter would be awesome too. Make some killer butter toast!". Thankfully, I had whipping cream in my fridge. I did add some salt after pressing out all the water. Might even start making this on a regular instead of buying a tub at the store. Thanks for sharing this recipe, turned out great!
I didnt realize you can buy a TUB of butter at the store? The only thing that I have ever seen in a tub is margarine.
EXACTLY... and better for you... lots more fresh.
@@america1403
Very Good... YOU are Right... Tub of Margarine...
Which is NOT good for you... Butter is BETTER.
VERY NICE!!! I love the process of using the iced water to wash the butter completely.
Using raw cream it seems to take a lot longer than 10 mins to get my butter. I will say that I attach the splatter guard and wrap a tea towel around before I crank on the mixer! Once I get the buttermilk, I attach the dough spatula (the one with the rubber side) on the mixer to help press out all the buttermilk- works pretty good and a lot less dishes. My butter also comes out really fluffy- not sure why, but hubby likes it.
I was using my stand mixer for maybe 5-10 minutes and couldn't get it to separate. Do I need to go longer? I was using heavy whipping cream. Hope it's the right stuff.🤷♂️
Thank you so much. I love making homemade food and sauces and butters.
I just got a kitchenaid mixer for Christmas! Can't wait to try this. Thanks!
Haha, me too
Cassandra Ridenhour i
I just got one this year and am so excited to make everything in the world HOMEMADE! hahah
I would love to try this, but I don’t have that mixer. All I own is a hand mixer. Would that work?
Amy Thomas It would work with any old mixer that works as it should! I made mine with a hand mixer!
What a wonderful descriptive explanation of how to make butter. I have seen a good handful.
Great video!! I tried this just for the experience and it went as expected. It did take quite a bit longer to start separating than I thought it would so I almost thought it was a failure. I hung in there and eventually got a nice little container of butter! I was surprised that it tasted much different than store butter. I am not sure if it's because this is what real butter tastes like or if it is just the result of using heavy whipping cream. I would like to get my hands on farm fresh milk/cream so I can experiment further.
I just tried it with heavy whipping cream and all I got was whipping. How long did you have to whip it up? I think I spent 5 minutes on high and did not see any separation.
Hi, I read thru a lot of comments. Your resembled my question. I’m using a 7qt KA mixer and it’s (still working on it) taking way longer than 3 min. The first 3 was whipped cream. The next 3 was more whipped cream, with hints of separation. I’m approaching 10 at least and it’s starting to sound like a lump is forming.
I’ve done this once before with store bought whipping cream.
Two days ago I scored from a bit to distant dairy farmer a large jar of un homogenized whole milk.
Instead of just drinking it and it being gone I decided to use about 1/3 to have butter which should last awhile and be more enjoyed.
Even with the towel it looks like it’s making a mess.
At about 11 min full speed I’m getting close.
It tastes awsome at this point.
That was the best butter making tutorial ever think you about? I've all been making butter in my kitchen aid, but I've never thought to do the Rensing in it. I've always done it by hand thank you so much which I haven't been doing it at high enough speed. I've been doing it lower speed. So it's been taking forever. And now I don't have to thank you.
Thank you. Very Nice tutorial! I made butter!!! Homemade. Was so nice and delicious and it was fun making as well. Soooo lusciously soft as well. I ate spread some on fresh bread with some homemade strawberry jam.....yum! Making it felt like magic. Feel so proud of myself. Smells divine too. After rinsing out the buttermilk from the butter with water until it runs clear, I would recommend using a cheesecloth to squeeze out all of the water completely from the butter so that it lasts longer, doesn't go rancid. The more water u squeeze out, the better. I'm about to make some homemade scones using part of the butter and the buttermilk I made. Wish me luck. Forgot to say, I used a hand mixer and it worked out ok.
Thank you this was easesr of all be
Cause easy instructions thanks
Thank you for sharing I just bought a KitchenAid from Costco Made bread today now I'm excited I want to get some attachments and make some butter and you made it look super easy thank you for sharing
I've never used my kitchen aid for making butter but I put it in a jug at holidays with a tight fitting lid (gallon milk jug with screw on top) and let the boys play ball with it to keep them busy while i'm cooking, so their contribution to dinner is fresh made butter!
Love the idea of the jug
The kids did too. Now the grandchildren do it
What a FANTASTIC teacher!!! I love how precise you are and how you give detailser. Perfect instruction easy for dummies like me to follow a recipe. God bless you!!
You did a great job! Thank you so much for stopping along the way to show us what we should be looking for. Love this and can't wait to try it!
followed your instructions and made the best butter ever! Any advice on making icing from this?
Yes, cheese cloth will work very well... I just found that it's overall less hassle and clean-up when I press it in the bowl. =) God Bless! ~Erika
If I wanted salted butter how much salt should I add?
This video was very helpful! I am now making my own butter at home. The splash guard really helps too.
My son purchased me a Kitchen Aid (HAPPY)
This looks good.
Thank you for sharing.
I have done this with a regular portable hand mixer and had good results.
We ALL 'have a life', but some of us prefer making things ourselves, for half the cost as store bought, as well as, controlling what goes into our food.
Laurie Myrick, Let me see your breakdown of the cost to make your own butter. Include the cost of the electricity if you used electrical equipment, cost of the electrical gadget, also the cost of electricity for the lighting, cost of the water for rinsing, cost of the ice cubes (more electricity to run the freezer), cost of the ice cube trays... See where I am going with this?
it's not really about the cost for some people it's about knowing what's in there food
But Laurie Myrick CLEARLY state that it IS about cost, for her. So I am still waiting for her to do the cost analysis. I am confident that it is less costly for her to buy it at the supermarket.
Unsure why you're replying to a 2 year old comment, it's rather futile. Anyway, I make butter at home as I enjoy folding in other flavor elements like herbs and spices. I also enjoy smoking the butter with applewood or cherry smoke. This is real butter, not margarine, which if I purchased in a farm shop here in the UK would cost me around 3 pounds a block. (The majority of supermarket 'butters' are margarine.) Also my homemade butter doesn't contain the food additives that supermarket bought stuff does. In this UK this includes, but is not limited to, aspartame, trans fats, food colourings, emulsifiers and many other e-numbers.
@Thomas Brace. "The majority of supermarket 'butters' are margarine." Well, giving you the benefit of the doubt, apparently, UK has radically different requirements for what constitutes butter than does the USA.
====================================================
For the purposes of the Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906 (Thirty-fourth Statutes at Large, page 768) “butter” shall be understood to mean the food product usually known as butter, and which is made exclusively from milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional coloring matter, and containing not less than 80 per centum by weight of milk fat, all tolerances having been allowed for.
=======================================================
Did you read that carefully? Made from cream and/or milk, with MILK FAT content of at least 80% by weight! Now considering that typical supermarket butter contains about 16% water, that leaves a whopping 4% that could be "margarine fat"! So why don't you check the UK requirement and report back.
So HAPPY I found your video on making butter in a stand mixer! We get our milk from a Jersey cow and so we have great cream. Thank you!
Something to add: For a tangy cultured butter similar to the European style, first turn your creme into creme fraiche, THEN make butter with the creme fraiche instead of normal cream. Works the same way, but the butter will have a far more complex (read amazing) flavor and the buttermilk will be so good you'll want to just pour it into a glass and drink it. I always culture my cream now, before making butter.
How do you make creme fraiche?
How do you make the creme fraiche please? :)
@@ginasmith626 www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/02/how-to-make-creme-fraiche-in-1-easy-step.html
I just read your link saying add buttermilk to cream. If you add lemon to milk you get buttermilk so why not cut out the middleman and just add lemon to cream?
@@kelleyspartiatis4776 no, buttermilk is made as a byproduct of making butter. When you add lemon all you're really doing is curdling some of it. You use buttermilk because it's cultured. It has live cultures in it. The live cultures are what sour the cream to make creme fraiche.
Just made this, it was beyond perfect. Also added cinnamon sugar to it, and its amazing! Thank you.
Cinnamon sugar is a great idea ! I never would have thought of that.
Just made butter after seeing this video...so easy! Thank you!
I tried your recipe and it made the best butter ever thank you so much.
one tip when finish last rinse crank mixer to 10 it will clean the whisk
I made mine a few minutes ago in my food processor. Turned out wonderful
I like using my processor better. It is faster and less mess.
@@pookierat56 Same here. This is an interesting way to make it but the food processor is much faster. I use my stand mixer to get the butter fluffier to incorporate more air so that it'll spread easier. When mine has sat for a day, it gets very hard
When would you add salt and how much. Thank you for your video. 🇨🇦
I just bought the same mixer in red. Can’t wait to use it.
you are a living doll I love your voice , I remember having my Mom make fresh butter. Your right it is the real deal.
My goal with this channel is to encourage people of all diets to eat healthier by making their own food. I don't feed my own children any dairy products and I rarely eat it myself. However, as a person who enjoys making food, I often make food for others and recognize the benefits of making food from scratch with ingredients sourced from local organic farmers whenever possible. Not everyone choses to eat the same, but everyone does benefit from good food! =) God Bless! ~Erika
you rock! I'm going to try that this weekend. I've got a fabulous Kitchen Aid and I want to really put it through it's paces and what a better gift to give than homemade butter - my dad will be REALLY excited
You made that really easy! I like your rinsing method
Ok, That was cool! That would be great for taking to parties around the holidays, along with some home made breads.
It is cool! I have made butter already once Julia, and the washing part was the part that I didn't get so easily. They just said "wash it in cold water a few times! So I tried her method on my mixer, and oi la! It came out great with a lot less liquid (before I was literally squeezing it with my hands). I use 1/2 raw cream and 1/2 pasteurized, because my family finds the all raw to "gamey." I try to pound those nutrients in where I can!
I love to try stuff like this.
Made this for the first time tonight. It really worked well!! And you tips about splash guard and towel were spot on!! Thanks!
Thank you so much for doing this video for us! You did an excellent job!
Some people add salt to their butter. At what stage would you add the salt? And how much salt and what kind of salt would you add?
Can I use this butter for baking recipes?
Thank you for your time!
+Nibbler800 believe it or not, no I have not received an answer.please let me know if you find out! I'll do the same!
My mom adds the salt after the last rinse so the salt stays how much is by taste start out with a little I hope this help !!!
Julie Nolan You add the salt after the rinsing the butter milk off the butter and the reason is for Taste as well as it lasts longer in the refrigerator.
1 teaspoon per pound of butter. Add after your squeeze out the water from the final rinse. Knead in the salt well.
How many batches do you think makes 1 lb?
What clarity your voice and film and instructions are! I successfully made butter on my first try yesterday (how could one not?) and surely will be hooked... Next is reading up on how to culture the buttermilk.. Thank you.
Thank you so much Patty Janette for the sweet comment! I'm so glad the butter turned out for you... For more info on how to culture the buttermilk, visit @CulturesforHealth UA-cam & website... they are great! God Bless! ~Erika
If you have a food processor... you can make this same butter in about 4 minutes from start to finish. Just put the cream in and turn on the processor until the butter is all balled up.. .then simply rinse the butter in cold water to clean out the whey.
my um used to make butter with left over cream when I was young. I have never seen the rinsing done like that though. When I come accross some reduced cream I will give your method a try. Thank you, your visuals and audio instructions are very clear and understandable. I will be subscribing.
I remember making homemade butter as a kid and I can tell you that was still the best butter I've ever tasted.
I use the dough hook attachment on slow speed, (I cover and walk away for several minutes while it washes the butter) it works really well to wash and then salt the butter.. good video!
TIP: You don’t have to go high power on the mixer as she’s doing. It will take a few mins longer but the benefit is that you won’t destroy you kitchen with splattered heavy cream. It’s okay... A little calm goes a long way.
Ty
I have done this thing a dozen times but at least 3 times including the last one after 45 min I had warm mayonnaise WHY ? Any answers nick
@@22julip you using heavy cream? I've made butter with just a handheld mixer. If you're mixing enough to make whipped cream then you're doing it right. Once it passes whipped cream it start to separate. If you're using the right cream then you're not whisking fast or hard enough. In the UK we call it double cream
Kelley Spartiatis thank you like I said I use a kitchen aid stand mixer I used to make butter a lot once in a while it would not separate but the last 4-5 times all I get is whipped cream. It starts to separate but it only clumps about half then it turns to whipped cream. I’m afraid to try it again because heavy cream is expensive.it was humid in the house that’s all I can think of . I know it works because one time it did turn to butter but the next time nothing. I guess I’ll never know
@@22julip very odd! I heard that you can whip the butter back to cream if you whip for long enough. Don't know how true that is. I need to investigate this and will come back to you. My curiosity has won out!
Wow, I was doing the jar thing, then I watched this. My first batch of butter and butter milk was made. Thank you
Very easy to do tastes great .
I am also going to enjoy my buttermilk pancakes tomorrow.
THANKS, A LITTLE INSANITY :)
Thanks for this easy video. I followed your directions and for the first time tonight made butter. Will be doing this again.
Thank you nice lady!! The best video I have seen so far!!

Thank you, thank you! You put alot of time and effort explaining butterology. If your not a teacher, you should consider it. I've had that kitchen aide artisan a year now, and at 49 yo, and cooking/playing with food since I was 20'ish, I have to say that this one machine (and my sous vide, and convection oven) elevated my cooking to a much surprising level I didn't expect. That, and some good teachers! Bravo for this tutorial. Sometimes I work my kitchen aide so hard, I can smell the gears and oil getting hot and feel sorry for it. But it is one tough little machine, and so versatile.
awesome! so much easier than others Thank you!
What a delightful way of making home made butter. Thanks for sharing.
How much salt do you recommend for that amount of butter?
I am seriously thinking about buying a Kitchenaid .. and AlWAYS want to make my own butter since we worked on the Ranch many years ago...
What I didn't know then was to keep beating the butter with FRESH water until it ran CLEAR... The woman who allegedly was trying to teach me HOW TO make butter was on the "Other" ranch... I never could do it right... because She didn't tell me to keep rinsing with water until it was clear...
NOW... I can make butter with a Kitchenaid stand mixer...
Do you make Bread and Pizza dough with your stand mixer?
I was thinking about getting the 600 Pro because making lots of batches of bread and pizza dough..

With 2 cups of whipping cream how much butter milk does it yeld?
2 cups whipping cream should yield 1 cup of buttermilk & 1 cup of butter. :) Hope that helps. God Bless! ~Erika
What's the cost of making your own vs buying it?
AmuckPVP here cheap butter is almost 4 usd. Buttermilk is 350ish
depends how cheap butter is and how cheap cream is. If you can get the giant, cheap, jugs of cream at a restaurant supply store, or costco, its possible to make butter cheaper than buying it. But you'd have to make a lot of butter to save any money...and it would be dimes and nickels.
Can you use heavy cream or does it have to be whooping cream?
Words cannot explain how much i loved your avatar and this video (including your enthusiast and sweet personality)
Dangit... I need the splash guard now!
Right!??? I just went onto Kitchenaid's website as my kitchen appliances are this color - I don't have that splash guard, which would be lovely on some of the recipes I use it to make - though a draped over clean dishtowel works wonders too.
I've done this for my own kids and my grand kids. They are amazed! The milk that is left is also good to drink. It does not taste like store-bought buttermilk, because dairies turn their cream chemically sour. It churns faster than sweet cream.
I was thinking about how much work my grandmother did when she had to churn butter I'm a wooden butter churner. With a family of 13 it likely did not last long.
Best butter recipe I’ve ever come across, and I’ve watched heaps of them..👏👌🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing! U r so sweet God bless you too!
Worked great!!! Filled up two empty Land O’Lakes spreadable containers 7 oz. each). Can’t wait to use the leftover buttermilk!
This is the right procedure but there is no way that this takes less than 10 minutes. You won't even have whipped cream after 10 minutes. I think it's important to set people's expectations properly.
I was thinking the same. Takes me 10 to make whipped cream.
You can see where there are edit cuts. The title doesn't imply it takes less than 10 min. I didn't watch it intro because I just wanted to see what I looks like when you stop beating it.
@@ck8191 The title doesn't imply less than 10 minutes, but the intro and description do.
Ugh, I just made it tonight and in about 3 mins it was whipped cream, then butter in about 8-10. It was surprisingly quick.
I agree! I did mine and it took forever!!! On high and watch....must be like a pot if water
I'm going to have to try this..do you know how much salt I would need to make it salted butter?
Thank you
My mixer has been going for 45 minutes and the butter has still not clung to the balloon whisk attachment. Very very concerned with the contents of the bottle of "cream"!
Thank you for this! I make butter all the time in small batches and never understood what they meant by "washing" the butter in cold water. Now it makes sense!
i just put my butter in a strainer and rinsed it
Truly, Thank you for posting this. I made this today and holy cow, it was so good. Great instructions that were easy to follow. I truly appreciate it.
Thank you for the butter-making tutorial. I have the exact same Artisan Aqua Sky Kitchenaid mixer 🩵
I just need to get the splash guard.
I want to make salted butter and garlic butter. Would I use the mixer to combine them? Thank you 😊
I am so glad I can buy butter in a store.
***** If in fact that is what you're actually getting. In this day and age you never know what's in the package anymore. Did you know that if you go to the store and buy a jar of honey, you may be getting a jar of corn syrup with a little honey added for taste? Seems that the Chinese have learned we like our honey and they are selling tons of fake honey to distributors here in the US and they are repackaging it as real honey.
***** Yes, but you have to make butter from milk or cream which you usually buy from a supermarket, too. So you cannot be absolutely sure that this is 100% pure milk or cream.
Whatever you do, you cannot be sure to make butter from scratch as you do not know what might have been added to the milk or cream.
I would not do this on a regular basis, but I'd do it once in a while for fun or for teaching kids what butter actually is and how it is made.
A nice idea is then to give each kid an opportunity to season their own butter and let them taste each other's butter afterwards.
Anyway, this is certainly one justification to buy a kitchen machine (if people need one ;-)) because doing this with a hand mixer would be rather - exhausting, I guess.
***** Yea and it's actually cheaper than making it yourself too lol
+Dave Casey (dgcasey) speaking of the chinese, a few years back they had a problem with baby formula. there were factories that were making fake formula that was engineered to past tests to determine the fake from the real.i am not for sure but i think they did the same with milk. but i have noticed one thing, i am lactose intolerant, and i can go to the store and drink whole and 2% with no problem. i wonder . . . . . . . . . .
+Byron Lumley Much better than plastic margarine.
