So. First thought is the coronavirus pandemic has confused me so much I no longer know the date and we’ve jumped to first April without me realising. Second thought is this is Atomic Shrimp so anything really is possible. Really is Weird Stuff I Can do. We have some double cream in the fridge. I’m so tempted to try this and the best part is that no one else would want to eat it. 😀
I remember making butter from cream in jar when I was maybe 10 years old - never realised it was my parents trying to keep me occupied but that is very much possible 😂
Never took me that long, maybe five minutes. But I shook it back and forth instead of just up and down which agitates it a lot more and not nearly as tiring.
I was in the process of kneading the cream when my mom told me this wouldn't work. She is a specialist in jam-making so I began to lose faith. I used more cream than you did so it was taking longer. Nevertheless I pressed on and the magic formed between my fingertips. My mom took a video of me narrating what you were narrating for my relatives. Thank you for this
@@Silver_wind_1987_ Doing this was easy, fun, fast, gave me a deeper understanding of ancient food preparation, and saved me from needing to clean an electric mixer. Trying to clean icing off of the mixing blades is bad enough, I imagine butter would be worse. Why do you feel the need to try and spoil other people's fun?
Tried this twice, success on the second time around! Learned a few things: First, don't use Emlea as it's a cream alternative which has vegetable oils added - I was stirring for ages like a fool before I realised. Second, let the cream warm up to room temperature for half an hour to an hour. It doesn't seem too work well at cold temperatures. Third, don't put too much in the bowl when you do this, otherwise it takes absolutely ages. Do it in batches Fourth, I found it worked much better when the hand is in a loose fist whilst doing gentle circular kneading with the back of the fingers
Honestly never realised that elmlea isn't cream, I was shaking my jar of elmlea for a good half hour before I realised. Did eventually get it to thicken and go lumpy though, but I suspect what I have is vegetable spread 😐 and buttermilk
I have a couple tips of my own attempt: 1) I used 6oz (170ml) of cream, which yielded a little over 3oz of butter, and a little less of buttermilk. 2) I wouldn't recommend trying batches larger than 3oz/80ml for your first attempt, in a bowl at least twice that size. 3) I found warming it up close to body temperature (rather than whatever "room temp" might be, in the winter, or on a cold morning) in a toaster worked well (mine has a "keep warm" function. Yours may well not have this. 4) I used a rubbing motion once my fingers started getting covered with butter. As in, the universal sign of "🤌where's the money?" 5) Make sure you have all the utensils needed for this already placed, haha (had to grab everything one-handed). Mixing bowl, washing bowl, buttermilk bowl, a plate with tools to form the butter, and a bowl of salt already in it (should you wish).
Was scrolling through your channel this morning, came across this. Later in the day, found some double cream going for 19p reduced. Thought to myself, what's the worst that can happen? 15 minutes later I've got some of the tastiest butter I've ever had. Keep up the good work!
I just tried this and mixed the end result with rosemary and a little salt. It's great! I was shocked, as you suggested, by how quick it suddenly turns into butter. It was grains, grains, grains, wet grains, wet grains, then bang! Butter. Thanks so much for sharing!
Butter fat separates from butter milk with the more surface area agitating the cream. Wire whisks are good but fingers with all their nooks, curves, and ridges in the prints have more surface area. This combined with body heat speeds up the process by warming the cream. I've made butter a few ways and this was a great video, I have never tried it by hand!
When I saw this it looked like magic! So I had to try it, myself and had the same result! I'm so impressed!! Sharing with everyone I know, immediately...
BEST eating sound cut Eva! This reminds me of two things from my early childhood; a) my dad was a baker and I'd "help" him in the bakery before I was school age - he showed me how to make cakes this way - massage/beat the butter and sugar exactly like that, add the eggs into the mix also with finger whisking, then move up to a spoon for adding the dry stuff (or carry on the same way, just it gets more messy) - I meant to suggest this when you did the sponge pudding with Babatunde, b) a year or two later (1969?) Our class teacher harvested the top of the milk from the entire class, put it in a tupperware cup, and we each got one shake before passing it on - yes we had free milk in those days, and yes it would sit in crates in front of a radiatior for two hours before we got a chance to drink it. I think that temperature is key in the speed of both processes, have you tried letting cream reach 20 degrees or so before shaking? :) Great video btw👍👍
@Stephen Hill Durham for me, you Southerner:) But in a progressive school that insisted the milkman dropped the crates in front of a radiator. At home we had the ice on windows until we decamped to the Midlands, where we suddenly had central heating (for no reason tbh :)) (true tho, the kids not believing - mine raise an eyebrow when I mention my grandparents had no (plumbed-in) bath, no electricity, and a gas-powered fridge until the early 70's 🤷♂️
@Stephen Hill I remember that living on the South Downs it was so cold that the ice on the windows did not melt during the day. The ice built up getting thicker & thicker each day till sometimes it was thicker than a hens egg. At night the air was so cold it felt like it was burning you as you breathed & I pulled my head down under the bedcovers in an attempt to protect myself.
Thanks that was all interesting. I'm from US, we had it warmer though in Michigan. I just remember frost on windows & not being able to open the front door a few times in winter.
wow!!! i dont know if i'd be allowed to do this in a business kitchen but i DEFINITELY wanna try this at home. also for my southern friends, that buttermilk makes an AMAZING buttermilk biscuit, and bonus, you've got fresh butter to put on it.
I've been watching you for the better part of a year now, and I have to say im so glad I found your channel. I'm not even sure how I found it, but now every time you upload I actually get excited to watch a video because your videos are always so pleasant to watch! Thank you for making great content and have a great day!
I watched this when it was first uploaded, and have been making my own butter a lot using this method. It really is brilliant, and I make bread using the buttermilk, which is delicious. Thank you Mr Shrimp for being you. Much love to you and everyone here xxx
There is something incredibly soothing and ASMR-like about this video... the soothing voice and gentle hand motions of mixing the cream are almost mesmerizing.
You are officially now my favorite RUclipsr! Finally someone with endless curiosity and intelligence 🌞Thanks for all of the effort you put into your videos!
I’ve just tried this, even after seeing this video, I was amazed how quickly it worked. Not sure I’ll be making a great deal of butter in the future, but I’m certainly never using a whisk for whipped cream again.
Since I watched this video two weeks ago I have been making about a pound of the stuff a week. I wish I had a dairy nearby so I could source fresh cream. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you. The whole reason I stopped making butter a million years ago was that it was too time consuming. Making it by 'hand' is so quick and easy that it blew my mind and continues to do so. Down the shady corporate butter barons! Up the greasy fingered proletariat!
Been wanting to try this technique ever since the video came out and finally got the chance today. A little advice to anyone wanting to try it, don't use too much cream. I had 600ml and after 20 minutes nothing had really happened. I took about half out of the bowl and tried again and it worked within a few minutes. Once it had thickened I was able to incorporate my extra cream and it worked fine. If doing it again I would start with about 150ml, then add my extra cream as it thickens.
This blew my mind!! No one believed it was this easy, how quickly they were proved wrong, and how much better than all the other videos I saw.. Just by luck I found this. Thank you!!
So I made this recently and it really did work. A few things to keep in mind for it to work WELL though: - If you use anything less than a double cream or heavy cream (with 45%+ butterfat) this will take significantly longer. I tried this with a lighter whipping cream because we had some leftover, that was only about 38% fat, and it didn't fully separate with my hands alone. By the time I had gotten it to become granular the heat from my hands had warmed the cream so much that it basically melted back down, and just turned oily. I then had to chill it in the fridge again and whip it manually with a whisk until the rest of it separated out. - Do this in a temperate climate. Or on a cool (though probably not cold) day, maybe a cool kitchen - around 20 degrees Celsius should work. Don't do this next to the radiator or fire. You need a cooler temperature than your fingers, basically, so the butter has a chance to firm up when not in contact with your body heat. I live in tropical Singapore, where the average temperature is about 32 Celsius year round and humidity can go up to 100% It separated extremely quickly but turned oily way too fast for me. I then had to shock the butter slop in a container of ice water (not just cold, ice) to firm the butter back up to a workable state, consequently massaging it until it was firm, before removing and kneading salt into it. If you do this in summer/in a warm climate it might soften too much during this stage as well, so keep the butter cool (don't use your hands maybe) and work fast.
Oh wow that's brilliant. Starting next year I am going to try growing some new seeds. I want to try & do more homemade foods & items. Really enjoyed this. Hope you can keep sharing. I love to learn. Thankyou so much. Have a blessed & beautiful day & takecare,xx
I absolutely love the overlayed clip of your doggo while you chew your food. Makes the sound more acceptable. I love the videos you make. Your channel is such a gem.
Just last night I watched an old (40's) British info reel about making butter. The ladies used ribbed paddles to manipulate butter. You did the same essentially.
Butter in less than three minutes! Is there any explanation why this technique seems to work faster than others? Edit: saw the musings about heat from hands, that'll do me.
Made a meringue for a cake a while ago, and it was taking **forever**, until I read that you're supposed to leave the eggs out at room temperature for like 30 minutes beforehand. I put the mixing bowl in a bigger bowl with warm water, and the meringue nearly instantly started firming up. So it could be the heat
Warren JB - ✌️It’s definitely the heat, body temperature is 37 deg c and room temperature is around 20-30 deg c. (Depending where we live of course). It’s science 😜
Grand masterflash 😂 Apparently there are several ways to make butter by shaking, by centrifuge, by cold separation, by warm separation. I guess picking one is good enough (as long as it works)✌️
@@AtomicShrimp I couldn't help it. Seriously though, that was amazing. I kept getting my wife and told her I need to do this lol I can't believe how quickly that turned to butter and I don't think I'm ever going to buy butter again.
@@AtomicShrimp Nothing wrong with pee really, if one would take the time analyze it and make an accurate microbiological profile of it, one would realize it's cleaner than tap water. But... people, they do what people do.
As one of those kids who got to shake a tupperware cup full of cream skimmed off the tops of milk bottles, I am really blown away by how fast that went with your fingers!! Why didn't I use my grubby little fingers?
I just tried this with a massive tub of double cream that was a couple of days out of date and it works really well. Only problem is I now can't get the smell of butter of my left hand.
Amazing i will surely try it. Thanks for sharing. I watch all your videos so interesting and educational. Can't wait for the next one. Greetings from Holland.
Myself and the kids made this butter today after watching this video, we were amazed st how easy it was , were going to continue to make it instead of buying supermarket margarine, thank you ever so much for posting this ❤
Wow this is amazing. I never thought it possible to make butter so quickly.Thanks for all your tips. I love your videos, they are very informative. I especially enjoy your calm practical presentation style. I will be trying this later today.
Re; *"Making Butter By Hand (no, really)",* best tongue-in-cheek [cheekiest] title ever. When I was young, I used to spend all day making hand butter. Sadly, I just don't have the energy or desire to make it very often these days.

We have some double cream in the fridge. I’m so tempted to try this and the best part is that no one else would want to eat it. 😀
let it warm up toward room temperature a bit. I clean forgot to mention this.

@Johnny Eyeball same for me, I was working on it for 10/15 minutes non stop and nothing!
I thought that as well..maybe body heat combined with friction warmed it up..that's the only thing I can think of..

Right? I started out watching his scambaiting videos, but I actually enjoy these videos more.
He knows little about a lot.
Taking an Iron Age cooking class is so on-brand for you.
My family made butter in a mason jar this summer and it took a lot longer and a whole lot more effort (shaking). I will give this a try.

@@AtomicShrimp Nothing wrong with pee really, if one would take the time analyze it and make an accurate microbiological profile of it, one would realize it's cleaner than tap water. But... people, they do what people do.
As one of those kids who got to shake a tupperware cup full of cream skimmed off the tops of milk bottles, I am really blown away by how fast that went with your fingers!! Why didn't I use my grubby little fingers?
was confused by the title until he stuck his hand in it ahha , very interesting video dude!
Wow, absolutely fascinating Mike!
Have you ever thought about going on a game show like "Who wants to be a millionaire"? You are properly knowledgeable on a lot of things?
The eating edits are brilliant! They get me every time.
First we milk the hand
Saw this yesterday and just tried it with my 8year old doing all the work, took about ten minutes and he loved it! Thanks for the how to
"Let's have a generous spread of butter."
Fat me: What are you on a diet?
no offence but you should probably go on one.
Wonderful!! My son just showed me your channel, love it already!! A 'toast' to you!
I thought this was an older video and was wondering why all the comments were from 9 minutes ago
Tee hee, his followers could be his 'phone a friend' if he needed one.
But they're from 8 months ago
I am fascinated! I am going to have to give this a go!
I just tried this with a massive tub of double cream that was a couple of days out of date and it works really well. Only problem is I now can't get the smell of butter of my left hand.
The trick is to get it all over you, then your hand won't smell different
Amazing i will surely try it. Thanks for sharing. I watch all your videos so interesting and educational. Can't wait for the next one. Greetings from Holland.
I will definitely be trying this at home and I will let you know how it works thanks so much shrimp! :)
Made this just now, fabulous and easy. Thank you 💜
How was this so quick? All that workout I did, aggressively shaking a jar of cream for the best part of an hour... for nothing...
No air bubbles to prevent the cream from separating
Myself and the kids made this butter today after watching this video, we were amazed st how easy it was , were going to continue to make it instead of buying supermarket margarine, thank you ever so much for posting this ❤
When you chew and you accidentally sinc with eva :) wholesome moment
I made stinging nettle soup because of you, now I'm going to make some butter. Thank you, Master Shrimp! I really love every video you make c:
I accidentally made butter when over mixing double cream
Over mechanical whisk
Wow this is amazing. I never thought it possible to make butter so quickly.Thanks for all your tips. I love your videos, they are very informative. I especially enjoy your calm practical presentation style. I will be trying this later today.
I'm very interested to see how you wi do this, I'm very excited.
Nice, surprised me when you gave the first bite to your dog! How sweet🌈
First to watch the WHOLE VIDEO
I tried this today with double cream and by hand. After around 4-5 mins the butter curd had formed. Thank you for the amazing technique.
Remember, butter is the real deal, margarine is only a substitute.
You are wright. Margarine also contents hardend vegetable oil and this are not the good ones. I prefer butter.
Thank you for the wholesome content my good chap
In such crazy times I consistently keep coming back
Shameless plug to "My Weird Hands" video.
Re; *"Making Butter By Hand (no, really)",* best tongue-in-cheek [cheekiest] title ever.
When I was young, I used to spend all day making hand butter. Sadly, I just don't have the energy or desire to make it very often these days.
