Easy Homemade Butter
Ingredients:
cream, fluid, heavy whipping
salt, table
Directions:
Pour cream into a large, screw-top jar.
The jar should be large enough that the cream only fills it up 1/2-2/3 full.
Ensure the lid is screwed tightly onto the jar.
Shake the jar vigorously.
Keep shaking continuously.
The cream will froth up after a time and will seem to stop moving in the jar - don't worry!
Just keep shaking - over time you will see the cream start to resemble a sort of whipped cottage cheese, and then it will form a solid, yellowish mass, surrounded by an ever-growing pool of white liquid.
Shake the jar another 2-3 minutes.
In total, it will have been shook for around 25 minutes, depending on the temperature of the cream.
Suspend a fine sieve over a bowl and empty the jar contents into it.
Using a clean spoon, beat, press and fold the butter, teasing out as much liquid as you can.
Beat a pinch of salt, if desired, into the butter, and then take the mass in your hands.
Press and roll it gently, as if you are kneading a bread dough, until the butter starts to become quite smooth and sticky.
Store the butter in a ceramic dish.
The collected liquid is buttermilk (or whey) and can be used in baking.
