HOMEMADE BUTTER RECIPEThis homemade butter recipe is so easy and makes food taste so much butter (better!). No preservatives or chemicals. You can have your kids help you make it - and enjoy it together on popcorn, mashed potatoes, garlic bread and so much more.
HOMEMADE BUTTER RECIPE whipping cream (regular or heavy) 
Pour the cream, salt, food coloring and marble into the jar and begin shaking. (If you let it sit so the cream separates, you don’t have to shake it as long.) When you don’t hear the marble when shaking, your getting very close to completion. Shake it up and down and side to side and it should be ready to go in 5 to 10 minutes. Have the kids help with the shaking; it’s so worth it in the end. No more $3.00+ for a pound of butter and no preservatives. The butter will be in a chunk and the remaining liquid is buttermilk. NOTE Cream butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Form into a log; about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and place in plastic wrap. Roll up the wrap pushing as you go to form a tight log. Freeze or refrigerate the log until needed. When ready to serve, slice off a piece and place on the steak after it is done cooking. Excellent on grilled shrimp or chops too. |
