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.

We all know that chocolate is a kind of happiness hormone, right? Thanks to the content of caffeine and other interesting components in chocolate (let’s not get smart about this), the mood improves, there is a surge of strength and vivacity, the overall tone increases! My small innovations in the classic recipe greatly simplify its preparation and reduce the number of necessary ingredients. The structure of the finished dessert becomes very airy and delicate. So, by introducing mayonnaise into the dough, we eliminate the need to add eggs and vegetable oil! In addition, mayonnaise can also be replaced with baking powder!
Are you a big fan of chocolate and pumpkin? Then this cake is for you!!! And even if you don’t like pumpkin pastries, this pie will still conquer you (I know because my husband doesn’t like pumpkin, but he ate almost one of this pie). Brownies differ from classic ones in a denser texture.
Dear cooks, I offer you a very simple recipe, but very tasty and very, I would say, stylish dish that will be appreciated by both your family and guests. The recipe can be called an expanded version of the famous Lyons potato.

There are a lot of recipes for chocolate sausage, but my original one: white fat, which should be a regular sausage, I replaced with candy. My son is always looking forward to this treat, and I try to pamper him, but not often, because the dish is high in calories.
The magical transformation of biscotti into brownies… or vice versa? I saw this recipe in a magazine. Having adapted to my tastes, I suggest you treat yourself to this chocolate happiness! So… the transformation begins… I invite you to visit me!
Brownie is a kind of chocolate cake with a characteristic brown color. It is prepared in various ways. We suggest you use our simple brownie cheesecake recipe by adding Oreo cookies to it. A tender, soft, melting pie in the mouth will not leave anyone indifferent.
This brownie was first cooked last year, before that I had only heard or read about it. It turns out tender, probably due to a small amount of flour. Be sure to try to cook.
