Butter refers to dairy products and is made from cow’s milk, or rather from cream. Butter is whipped in special apparatuses, where milk is poured. However, butter can be prepared at home.
How to Make Butter Using a Mixer?
Chilled cream of 33% fat content (or more) is whipped in a mixer at maximum power for 10 minutes. 400 ml of cream should make about 150 g of butter.
The liquid separated during this time is drained, and the oily mass is whipped in the same mode for up to 5 minutes.
The liquid separation and whipping cycle is repeated again for 2-3 minutes until the mass is compacted.
The resulting oil is collected with a spoon into a “bun” and slightly crushed. Such a bun should “rest” a little to release some more excess fluid.
Then the butter lump is rolled out on parchment and salted to taste. You can add finely chopped herbs or spices to it. To mix well, it is folded in half several times and rolled out again. In addition to mixing, it is possible to get rid of moisture residues in this way.
How to Make Butter Without Devices?
The butter recipe is very simple:
We take a three-liter jar, pour cream into it (at least 30% fat content) by about 1/3 (a larger amount will be more difficult to beat).
Next, you need to close the jar very tightly and start shaking it with your hands so that the cream inside is actively moving, splashing and bubbling (Turn the jar horizontally and shake with two hands from left to right).
The process takes about 1 hour, it all depends on your physical fitness.
The work is quite masculine, painstaking, time-consuming, but the butter eventually turns out to be very tender and delicious. It is very difficult to find such butter in the store.

As far as I remember, forshmak was a frequent guest of the festive table. And now, I think housewives like snacks that don’t require a lot of ingredients, are prepared very quickly and eaten in the same way.

Well, what I put from the ingredients, you will see in the recipe.

I think the most interesting thing about cheesecake is the opportunity to decorate it in a new way every time. Well, or come up with new filling components. The last time I use white chocolate with almonds and coconut chips and sprinkle the cheesecake liberally on top – this helps to decorate it quickly, but sometimes expensive decorations get boring. The diameter of the mold is 24 cm .
Salted caramel is just a brilliant thing! It can be a sauce, a filling for a cake or cupcakes, and toffee candies! It all depends on the ratio of 3 ingredients in it (sugar-cream-butter). After trying it just once, it is impossible to forget the taste, I want to eat it again and again!

For the top, ordinary melted chocolate is suitable if you do not want to prepare the glaze. The taste of the cake will depend on the quality of cookies and cottage cheese.
A traditional dish of both Austrian and Bavarian cuisine. The differences are only in shape: in Austria, small balls are made from dumplings, and in Bavaria – large balls, sometimes one for the whole plate! But regardless of the shape, bread dumplings turn out really tasty. They are just perfectly combined with thick meat goulash and those types of roast where there is a lot of delicious sauce. If you wish, you can change the filling of the dumplings by adding various herbs, spices, replacing onions with dried tomatoes or even cheese. Create and enjoy!
