The process of making homemade butter from pure milk is not complicated and can be done in just a few steps. Here's how to make homemade butter in detail:
1.Preparation materials: a bottle of fresh pure milk, a container, a cotton cloth, a strainer, and an appropriate amount of salt.
2.Milk fat separation: Fresh milk is poured into the container, the lid is closed, and the container is shaken vigorously to separate the milk fat. You can also let the milk sit for 24 hours to allow the milk fat to stratify naturally. Once the milk fat has risen, remove it with chopsticks or a spoon and place it in another container.
3.Fat removal: Put the separated milk fat into a blender, turn on the switch and stir to remove the fat from the milk fat. During the stirring process, the milk fat gradually hardens and solidifies.
4.Cold water rinse: The coagulated milk fat is slightly rinsed with cold water to remove impurities. Cold water can make the milk fat more compact, which is beneficial for the operation of the subsequent steps.
5.Filter filtration: Wrap the milk fat with a strainer and cotton cloth to suck out excess water. Gently squeeze the cotton cloth with your hands so that the milk fat is drained as much as possible. The milk fat is then placed in another container and left for a while to wait for the moisture to release.
6.Add salt: Put an appropriate amount of salt into the drained milk fat and stir well. Salt adds texture and flavor to the butter.
7.Forming: Refrigerate the stirred milk fat for five to ten minutes to allow it to solidify. After removal, shape it with your hands or spoon and place it in an airtight container.
8.Finished product: Homemade butter can be stored in the refrigerator when it is done. The butter is golden in color, delicious in taste, and rich in nutritional value.
