Butter


W made us some fresh butter yesterday and it was so good that I wonder why we haven’t been making it more. I’ve only ever made it once in my life with an electric whisk which was pretty easy but much messier than the method in this video. It only takes a few minutes!

All you need is some cream, a clean dry jar with a lid and some sea salt to season. Make sure the cream is room temperature and at the end you need to get all the buttermilk out of the butter or the butter will quickly go rancid. This is a pretty easy process, since water and fat don’t mix. We ran some water through it to rinse the butter after draining the buttermilk then patted it dry with some kitchen towels. Then add some sea salt to season and spread on some freshly baked bread - absolute heaven!
