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.

I suggest you try donuts stuffed with pumpkin with citrus flavor with me. Do not look at the flour in the product, pumpkin compensates for everything. Pumpkin contains very few calories (22 kcal per 100 g) and it normalizes the work of the intestines. The secret of extremely delicious doughnuts is in the dough, which, getting into hot oil, increases in size in a matter of seconds. The dough consists of water and vodka, getting into hot oil, water and vodka, evaporating, push the dough out in pairs and it instantly rises, just as quickly, in less than a minute it is covered with a crust on both sides. The butter does not get inside the donuts for the same reasons, so the donuts do not turn out greasy. As a filling, I used pumpkin rings, but you can also take rings of pears, apples. It’s better to eat hot.
