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.

Last summer, when I brought another harvest of garlic arrows from the cottage – I thought about it – well, what else can I cook with them – fried eggs with fried arrows are already tired, in soup, in soup, and in general I will definitely add to soups… but it will help… and that’s why you want some fresh baked goods with garlic… And then I started to dig into their cookbooks, but, not finding anything significant, I realized that I could not do without the Internet, and began to look at websites. My attention was attracted by the recipe for bread with garlic – I slightly adjusted it to my needs, and a delicious fragrant wreath turned out! It turns out extremely tasty and lush! I think the recipe is perfect for those who like to cook garlic rolls for the future, and those who have such stocks, still just try it with garlic!
This bread for breakfast is prepared in the north of Italy, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. This is a mountainous region with magnificent vineyards – that’s why raisins are used.

The main thing is that it is extremely tasty, unrealistically fragrant, super gentle. And it’s not that difficult and not for long. Bread, of course, is not every day, but it’s worth a try.
