Homemade butter. You guys. If you're eating margarine you're wrong. This shit is superior in every way...

Who the fuck eats margarine these days?

A TV show I trust called "America's Test Kitchen" does blind tasting tests by both culinary experts and random people. They taste a wide variety of brands as used in different purposes (bread spread, baking, etc), evaluate pros and cons, and Lurpak won.
What brand do you consider premium?

>Lurpak is a luxury item

So do you just beat it and that's it, or do you do something else after to get the excess water out? I've wanted to try making my own butter for a while now and since I finally got a stand mixer I actually feel like it's reasonable.

Duchy Original is very high quality and delicious but I don't know if it's sold outside of the UK.
It's worth trying if you get the chance.

Just pour heavy whipping cream in the mixer and beat until it turns to whipped cream, a few minutes later it'll separate and you'll get butter and buttermilk.

I buy premium quality butter at the cheap store
It's way better than regular butter whole still being cheaper
Buy it on a hot day and it starts melting before you reach your home

>Buy bland basic cream
>Churn it into bland basic butter

White people sure love pretending to be trendy hip snowflakes. If you have access to good farm fresh cream you already have access to good butter

What said, but a couple things more. When it starts separating to butter and buttermilk it will start spattering the buttermilk all over, so you have to turn it down some until it's done, which won't be very long. Then I put the butter in a fine strainer and rinse with very cold water.

Don't get upset, you can't afford to with all the bland butter in your arteries

This. Get over yourselves. Homemade doesn't automatically equal quality.

It's better than loving rape and dealing drugs, like black people.

When I make shortbread, I can tell...

Sorry about your education. The cholesterol in your veins is not the digested cholesterol from your diet.

Eat your heart out, lazyfuck. I'd be more than happy to put my homemade up against any on the market. It's not my skill, but the quality of the grass fed cream. If the dairy sells butter made from it, it wouldn't be as fresh and would be more expensive than a pint of the cream.

You do realize, of course, commenting about something you know nothing about is both ignorant and stupid.

That's exactly what I'm saying about you assholes, thinking you're better than you are because of BUTTER of all things.

I've had "homemade" butter. I've had quality expensive white people shit. I've had fake ass dollar store butter. If you're using it in something, I guarantee no one will be able to taste the difference.

Butter on toast? Maybe. But you're a snob either way.

>expensive white people shit

I'se no's wat's I'se likes, an' i'se don'ts likes no wot peoples home dun butta'. Nah suh, nah suh!

>Fresh made butter is better butter than boring ol bought butter you butt fucker.
bet you can't say that 3 times fast

Trying to produce butter by just whipping up heavy cream is like mixing flour, salt and water and calling that pizza dough. The real thing is a fermented product, you doofus. What you're producing is some kind of ersatz butter with no flavor other than the bare milkfat. Only a pleb would be unable to tell the difference. Then again I hear that Americans and assorted anglos for some reason consume a lot of sweet cream butter, which is unfermented, whereas in the rest of the world real, cultured butter is the only kind typically available. Uncultured butter for an uncultured people, how fitting. Perhaps OP has never actually tasted the real thing if he thinks that he's producing a quality product.

Not OP, but the other guy bragging about making butter. You're right. I've not had cultured. But based on your post, I'm going to add that 24 hour step prior to churning 1 pint and I'll compare it to a sweet cream pint from the same batch of cream. I'll be interested to see the difference.

If you hadn't been such a pretentious little arrogant cunt in your post, I'd say thank you. As it is, go fuck yourself.

where is your cow? is she a q.t.?

Great job, Veeky Forums

I doubt just leaving the cream out to sit will do much good. If anything it will make it taste a bit gross, assuming you're using pasteurized cream. You need to inoculate it with a lactobacillus culture. Raw, unpasteurized cream might undergo some not-gross type fermentation even without an added culture and be alright. Pasteurized products will just spoil because the pasteurization will have killed the good strains of bacteria that would otherwise naturally start fermenting the milk. I used to drink most of my milk raw and I can say the difference between soured raw milk and soured pasteurized milk is really like night and day, the former being sort of "pleasantly sour" and still edible and the latter being just disgusting.

I don't know what exactly they use to inoculate the cream with when they make butter industrially, but you could probably make do with any old fermented milk product, like yogurt. Try mixing a small part of yogurt or some other type of fermented milk product into the cream, then keep it warm for some time (look up the exact process for that type of milk product) and churn it to butter like you usually would.

Have you tried making two shortbreads, one with your special butter and one with Walmart Great Value butter?

Then have a friend chop it up into 10 pieces, 5 for the special butter shortcake, and Walmart butter shortcake, then label them, mix them up, and have you taste them? Double blind

I did the same experiment with tap water and bottled water. My roommates couldn't tell the difference

>White people so extra senpai bla bla

Fuck off

Also nobody is advocating the use of "bland basic cream"

>pretending to be trendy hip snowflakes.

Unlike you who is the authentic hipster with your race bait.

Imagine the hand jobs she could give. Just imagine for a second.
