HOMEMADE BUTTER RECIPE

This 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
HOMEMADE BUTTER RECIPE

whipping cream (regular or heavy)
1 large plastic jar
1 large marble, soaked in bleach water, rinsed and dried well
1/4 tsp salt
1 drop of yellow food coloring (or any color for the kids), optional


One cup of heavy cream makes 1/2 cup of homemade butter AND 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Save the buttermilk for baking.

Homemade Butter Recipe 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

You may also use a mixer with the whisk attachment to do for this easy butter recipe.




STEAK BUTTER RECIPE

The secret to my steak butter is to use homemade butter right off the bat. It's out of this world! Enjoy.

1 cup homemade butter, unsalted and at room temperature, recipe above
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced finely
4 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp white salt
1/4 tsp black ground pepper

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.
