வீட்டிலேயே செய்யுங்க ஆரோக்கியமான வெண்ணெய் / homemade butter

Ingredients

• heavy cream preferably from cow’s milk
• Ice cubes
• 4 cup ice water

Method

Collect cream from boiling milk

1. Heat milk over medium flame in an open mouthed vessel

2. When the milk is heated, you can see a layer of cream forming at the top. Do not allow it to boil over.

3. Now using a clean ladle, collect the bubbling cream from the top. You can collect only a small quantity from 1 to 2 liters of milk everyday. It is ok if little bit of milk also collected with the cream.

4. Allow the collected cream to cool and store it in the fridge or freezer.

5. Collect it daily for about 15 days or till your container is full , keep refrigerated.

For butter

1. Put the cream into your mixing bowl, add 2 ice cubes & ¼ cup ice water. It is important to only fill the bowl halfway so it does not overflow as air is whipped into the cream.

2. Mix for about 2 – 3 minutes. This time can vary depending on how much cream you are using and what type if mixer you have.

3. As it thickens it will first change to whipped cream. After the whipped cream stage it will begin to deflate and break down. When this begins to happen, stay close. When it makes the change to butter it can happen very quickly.

4. When you see the butter begin to clump and stick to your whisk, it is done mixing.

5. Put your strainer over a bowl and pour the contents of your mixing bowl into the strainer. The solids that collect in the strainer are the butter and the liquid that collects in the bowl is buttermilk.

6. Now you need to “rinse” the butter. It is important to remove as much buttermilk as possible to keep the butter from going rancid. Put the butter back in your mixing bowl and cover with clean, cold water.

7. Repeat this process 3-4 times or until the water stays clear.

8. Done! Store in refrigerator.

9. Our healthy butter is ready!!!!!!!!!!
