You can wash your butter, to remove the butter milk taste. The butter taste will still be there. We make our butter straight from the cream from raw milk. Use a wide mouth canning jar to put raw milk in. Put lid on. Set in refrigerator over night. Cream will be on top. Spoon off cream and start shaking. Love your video.

I also have raw milk and separate the cream. We use a glass jug with a spigot, the cream stays on top while I drain the milk from the bottom such a time saver... Be sure it will fit in the fridge before buying one... ask me how I know LOL

At one point we had 11 ppl in our home. Bios, in law, grands and fosters. So we used alot of buttermilk, butter, whipped cream and whey for for breads and such. This is exactly what i would do. Fill a mason jar about 70% and start shaking. Hand it off to someone until we got what we needed. Butter for dinner , work out before. Whipped cream for dessert hand the kids the jar while i fixed or got out the stuff. We would make the butter for biscuits and use the whey from the butter making in the biscuits. That was 15 years ago when a quart of whipping cream was 2.50 and you could buy it for less than butter and save money.

Hi , Curtiss . I just found your channel Looking at your recipes , they are great . just wanted to say I was raised on a farm and had many jobs and responsibilities , One of them was to make butter from our milk cow . she had very rich milk out of every quart of milk there would be 3 to 4 inches of cream on top . after your butter is made put in a bowl and use a wood spatula to work any buttermilk out . you could put some salt in at this time too doesn't take long . just thought I'd share this . Great video , stay safe Best regards Terry Lembke

You're very welcome! I just came off of a pretty off-putting day from my comment section, so to wake up and see this is just the breath of fresh air I needed. Thanks for taking the time!

I went through all the stages of the shaking. I am a new man.

I've made butter 🧈 in my KitchenAid mixer. I wrap a flour sack towel around the entire bowl and mixer because it definitely will splatter everywhere. Do the same things as when making whipped cream, but to make butter you beat it a minute longer until breaks and the butter separates from the buttermilk. Proceed to squeezing, rinsing, etc the butter chunk, and storing the buttermilk.

I get raw milk from a farmer that has the cream on top. I skim the cream off to make butter, and I use the milk to make yogurt. Sometimes I put blueberries, and other time I use strawberry, and put it in the incubator for about six hours. I then hang the yogurt in a cotton bag to drain off some of the whey.

Pronouncing those cultures sounded like you were summoning Cthulhu

Awesome to see this scenario of making butter! Reminds me of the time we made butter when I was in 5th grade. My male Teacher made our day when he did this in front of us. There were about 23 of us who lent a hand by each one of us giving about 10 vigorous shakes each!! Results were delicious on crackers 😎

never thought yogurt and cream left out for 2 days could make butter, might give it a go 1 day, you've inspired me to make my own ricotta already. I usually do butter with a bottle of thick cream and just shake that up

People are gonna think I'm nuts for doing this with buttermilk and for the question I'm gonna ask...but here goes. I buy buttermilk mainly to bake cornbread. It's usually lowfat. I let it sit in the fridge for a long time sometimes before I get around to using it. It will separate in the jug but I shake the daylights out of it to mix it up and make my cornbread anyway. It works and smells the same as when it was a new jug. I'm guessing that one would need to have full fat buttermilk to make the butter. Am I right? And also if it is cultured buttermilk, would you still need to use yogurt cultures? I'm guessing no, but want to make sure. This is all uncharted territory for me. Thanks in advance for you help.

@SelfServingSkillet

Great question, but no. Buttermilk is the product of making butter, so you can't get butter out of it. The yogurt is unnecessary to the process unless you want cultured butter/buttermilk. We want the cultures because that is what is sour and interacts with baking soda/powder and makes ranch dressing taste so good. Once you have the cultured buttermilk, you can use that to inoculate more cream to make more cultured butter/buttermilk.

You can't have cultured butter without first culturing the cream. You can make butter with low fat or full fat it up to you what you want the end results to be. The yogurt is used as a starter. You can do this once and then you have a starter to use the next time. BUT it sounds like you don't make the cornbread often so it might not be the type of commitment you can deal with... if you where to make cornbread each week to 10 days then consider having a supply of cultured buttermilk reserved from the last batch as the starter... I hope this is not confusing to you. Another words have a culture you made in the fridge and use within 5 to 10 days no yogurt is needed. Many youtube videos on this... like Mary's Nest she make it easy to understand.

I love when you do the taste test, your expression tells it all.

Love your cultured butter and buttermilk method using yogurt. If you take a cup of that cultured buttermilk, add it to 3 cups nonfat milk made with the powder, let it sit in a quart jar 2 days, then pour into a glass bowl and microwave it on high for 7 minutes, stirring gently every minute, you will get cottage cheese when whey separates from curd. Drain, saving whey for bread liquid or pancake liquid, and add salt, and store in frig for up to 3 weeks if using in lasagna recipe, or add to a jello or fruit salad. I make a starter usually from cultured buttermilk adding to powdered nonfat milk, but will try yogurt next time I need more starter. I make big half gallon jars of buttermilk, always saving at least a pint for new starter, for large batches of cottage cheese needed. I get over a cup of lowfat cottage cheese from a quart of homemade lowfat buttermilk. I have been using heavy cream for my butter, but just drinking the sweet milk left over. I will try using it for the buttermilk, too, by culturing it for a couple of days. This is much fun!

I would wash the butter after draining it. Just add cold water and shake it some more. Pour off the cloudy water and add fresh, until it stays mostly clear. That will help the butter last longer.

Yes you could salt it at the end, but I like to leave it as is for cooking purposes. Also, the culture adds a ton of flavor. I've had buttermilk keep in my fridge for months. On the counter, just make sure everything is clean and that you're checking it regularly. Once it smells like the culture, it's time to refrigerate. You could probably also culture in the fridge, but it might take a week or so. Any constant agitation will work

Don't forget to rinse your butter in cold ice water bath, because it will have a funky smell to it.
