METHOD TO PREPARE HOMEMADE BUTTER

To make butter at home you can use cream (malai) from the milk. However, this fresh cream (malai) can be collected by boiling 1 liter of full fat milk  everyday for 10 days and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

 Keep iced water ready in a  separate bowl. Bring out cream or malai from the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature then to make white butter we combine the malai and 2 cups of iced water in a deep bowl and blend using a hand blender for 3 to 4 minutes.

Continue to whisk and you will find a thick layer of butter formed, remove this using a large spoon in a deep bowl. Squeeze out all the water lightly by pressing it between your palms and put it in a deep bowl. Store homemade butter in a clean airtight bowl, in the refrigerator. It lasts for 2 days.
