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.

The birthplace of strudel is Austria, where it gained popularity in the 19th century during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany and Italy bake tons of strudel daily… But few people think that strudel is related to Turkish baklava, and the reason for this was the Turkish raids on Eastern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. In short, for me there is nothing better than a dank evening (and such evenings are only getting worse) than a plate with hot apple strudel and vanilla pudding! Which one of you is against it? The strudel dough has already been mentioned on the website, and my task is to show you how to properly prepare the most delicious filling for it.
Simple and unpretentious in the preparation of strudel. I tried it the way it is in Vienna, and I really fell into the soul. I asked for the recipe in the “Residents”, and voila – I cook this strudel every weekend. My family loves this dessert very much. Now I’m sharing this recipe with you.
I’m talking about the lack of time during the holidays again. After the unsweetened “snails”, I suggest baking a quick strudel. Instead of crackers, which are usually added to the filling, I used crumbly couscous.
Traditional German dessert. The easy-to-prepare dough covers an amazing cherry and blueberry filling. Juicy, fragrant roll. Despite the fact that there are a lot of fillings, the roll turns out to be quite strong. When slicing, it does not crumble and does not flow. Tasty.
Cake is a confection popular in Western Ukraine and Poland. As a rule, it is baked in a rectangular shape. I suggest you prepare a dance with apples and cream for pudding. It is gentle, very light and unobtrusively sweet.
