In Mexico here, Butter is very expensive. And most of it is bleached butter and doesn't have that old style flavor I enjoyed In Australia. We have an outdoor garden restaurant, and we use a lot of butter. I tried making this in our midweek days off...and this is absolutely the best, what I call old style butter. Everyone loved it.

My grandmother died when I was young about 10 years old. The Holiday meals she made are legendary. She milked cows and made fresh , sweet butter. She raised chickens, ducks, geese and Ginne hens. She had a garden that went all the way around her house year around. All she needed from the store was flour, sugar,yeast and baking powder. 👍
I decided to try to make French butter. When Chef Jean Pierre tells you to keep the mixer on a slow speed he’s not kidding. I didn’t pay close attention and I had buttermilk all over the counter, the floor, the walls, me and the dog! Lesson learned! It took me 2 hours to clean up. The butter was delicious! 😂🫣😂
For those of you without a mixer on hand you can shake the cream in a mason jar till your arm falls off to make butter. That’s how my mother taught me as a child.
Add a dozen marbles or ball bearings to the jar to make it go more quickly. It cuts the time down by at least half, if not more. Just be careful not to shake too vigorously or the marbles may crack the glass. I did this with a 4th grade class using glass baby food jars and marbles (3 per jar), and it took less than 10 minutes of shaking for each child. I'd say about 7 minutes on average. It should be the same for the mason jars if there's 10-12 marbles added, and you can shake the mason jars more vigorously because the glass is a good bit thicker than the baby food jars. Just make sure to clean the marbles or ball bearings!

Another *EXCELLENT* thing to do with butter is to *_smoke_* it! Simply take a pound or two of a good quality butter, and put it into a stainless steel bowl, and then put that into a smoker at around 140 degrees f using hickory, apple, cherry, or whatever your favorite smoking wood is. Take it out after 4 or 5 hours, and put it into the 'fridge. Stir it every 20 minutes (or so) until it thickens, then form it into a log, wrap in foil, refrigerate it, and cut off chunks to finish a steak, a salmon filet, or to top a baked potato, or a cob of sweet corn --- or whatever you'd like. DELICIOUS!!!
My group of friends have had a supper club for years, one month in someone's house the next month at a restaurant. Last month, my wife and I hosted a Chef Jean-Pierre inspired dinner with onion soup, short rib, mashed potatoes and of course this amazing butter. Leftovers made their way into the office. Everyone concerned loved it all and everyone wants more BUTTER!
I have to ask what's the difference between it being cultured butter? Is the flavor different than making butter just using cream, does it keep it from spoiling, etc?
@@B_Bodziak cultured (fermented) cream has a wonderful aroma and flavor. Butter in general shouldn't spoil especially if it's high in butter fat by volume. But skipping fermentation means ending up with a very bland and tasteless product - still usable for baking and cooking, but definitely lacking flavor and aroma.
@@zeshef THANK YOU!! I wondered why the butter I made with my children using just cream years and years ago wasn't as tasty as I'd expected. Thank you again! I cannot wait to make this! I keep my butter on the counter in a French water crock just like my mother did. I don't know how long it would take for unrefrigerated butter to spoil because it's eaten so quickly in my home.
@@B_Bodziak a lot of commercial "European style" butter add a "natural flavor" - you can see in the ingredients list. That's because they don't take the time to ferment but replace that time with an additive to approximate the lost flavor. Enjoy your butter experiment!
Am I the only one that gets a happy feeling and smiles in joy every time I watch one of his videos. The man has an ability to bring joy to cooking that is infectious.
I learned to make butter as an 8 year old child. No mixer…hand cranked churn and never went to the store to buy cream, you went to the barn and talked to the cows…lol. Those old ladies made me wash it 3 times in ice water, then pressed it into a carved wooden butter mold. I guess they made kids do this because we didn’t have video games🤣 I’m so glad for all I was taught as I was growing up ❤
I love how Chef J-P makes the recipes with extreme precision, while explaining everything about the recipe and telling his stories LMAO Prime example of someone who was born to do it.
This worked BEAUTIFULLY! I let it stand for 36 hours then chilled another 4 hours before whipping. I followed the measurements on the recipe using 40% cream and wound up with 15.9 ounces of amazingly tasting butter and about a quart of incredibly tangy buttermilk. :) Thank you so much.
Our daughter milks her own cows, makes her own unpasteurized butter every week, along with cheese, yogurt, etc. Just like you showed how to do, but doesnt need to add buttermilk and yogurt because its so rich and creamy! Lucky me gets to eat it. I made your clafoutis, delicious, and so easy!
Lovely recipe! When I was in the Kindergarten, my teacher had a bottle of buttermilk mixture, and each student took turns shaking the bottle to create butter. Meanwhile, my teacher Mrs Lockner grated zucchini. She added both ingredients to a pan on a hot plate, and sauteed the veggies. All of us students loved the dish! ❤️
That's amazing! It obviously left an impression on you, for you to be able to remember it from Kindergarten! When my daughter was in 4th grade, her class was studying the days of pioneers, and as the room parent, I brought in everything for each child to make butter using glass baby food jars and marbles for them to shake until the cream turned into butter. I also brought in a couple of types of bread that were commonly eaten back then from recipes I found online. Initially, they didn't believe that it was possible for something that looked like milk to turn into butter. My daughter is almost 30yo and still friends with several of her classmates. When she comes home for the holidays and I see some of those friends, they often say that day is one of their fondest memories from elementary school.
I did the same thing in school too! Wonderful memories! I think I was in 1st or second grade when we did this though... Not sure exactly...😂 The joys of getting older!!!! You don't remember as well as you did when you were younger! 😕😕😕😕
Chef is using Marburger buttermilk! This is my absolute favorite buttermilk, and yes I drink buttermilk and it's delicious. If you buy this buttermilk to use in the recipe here or you use buttermilk to make things like biscuits or cornbread or even pancakes, follow Chef's advice and leave the buttermilk out on the counter for at least overnight if not 24 yours .This not only thickens up the buttermilk it gives you more of the culture and a much tarter flavor. Not that long ago you can only get this buttermilk in Pennsylvania and surrounding states however I know you can get it in many supermarkets around the country now. If you can't find this particular variety I highly recommend looking for a Bulgarian style cultured buttermilk which is also very thick and very tart. You can also make a variation of chef's recipe bringing the mixture up to between 180 and 200° and make cheese. I believe if you poke around on RUclips you can find a couple of recipes for cheese using cultured buttermilk. If you've never made it you're missing out
@@gigir6761 believe it or not the actual population of Atlanta is only about a half a million. If you include the metro area you get up to a little bit over 6 million. The entire state of Georgia barely has 10 million people. I can guarantee you that you have marburger buttermilk because they sell it at Publix. I am sure that if you checked more than one grocery store you would also find some kind of Bulgarian buttermilk. Atlanta has an amazing variety of grocery stores. If you wanted to buy whole milk you can even buy that that has been low pasteurized. It actually has the cream still in it and it is available last I checked that whole foods.
I live in Pennsylvania but haven't seen this buttermilk. I'll have to look closer. When he said it almost tasted like sour cream I thought, I need to find how to make sour cream too.
I made this butter. It is fantastic. Best butter I’ve ever had. If you think butter couldn’t be any better. Think again. This is better than any butter I’ve ever had. Chef is also the best teacher I’ve ever watched.
This is my favorite class. I have learned so much from Chef Jean than I ever learned in the kitchen.... home and restaurants. Thank you for teaching us Chef, it is truly appreciated. Have a blessed and wonderful day. :-)
I love butter. I can personally attest to the cows in Ireland eating the nutrients in the grass there. My brand new WHITE golf shoes were so stained by the emerald greens that they never released the color. Oh the cream was so incredibly rich and the butter on the scones in the mornings was just amazing. Butter is life.
Chef, I wanted to thank you for sharing with us. I have made over a dozen of your recipes, and each and every one of them has been an absolute sensational hit.
I made this butter. It is fantastic. Best butter I’ve ever had. If you think butter couldn’t be any better. Think again. This is better than any butter I’ve ever had. Chef is also the best teacher I’ve ever watched. The only thing I actually measured carefully was the salt. 1%
Two techniques, including the final steps, and two butters! There is no cooking show like this in the world. We're too lucky for words. With the clarified butter, ghee, and cooked roux videos... I wanna join culinary school just so i can be the most advanced in the class nao 😂
11:16 “you can put it on bread, you can rub it all over your body!” I’ve never felt so seen. 🥹 Chef Jean-Pierre really GETS my relationship with butter.
I bake cakes and I special order Beurre Échiré for them and they are so much better than using American butter. Thanks for sharing this recipe, I love having an alternative and the ability to make my own.
You know someone is genuinely passionate and mastered their craft when they not only make what they do, seem so easy to explain, but they also put a smile on your face while doing it.
The concept of leaving dairy out at room temp for 2 days was a mind blowing moment that went against everything I’ve been taught as a layman. Can’t argue with experts or results though. Thank you for opening my eyes and mind sir!
@@Sassyglbeauty You leave it on the counter so the good bacteria can thrive. The good bacteria (from yoghurt and cultured buttermilk) prevents bad bacterial growth. Similar process to fermentation.
I don’t think I would ever make this (no mixer), but as a professional engineer I LOVE the details you provided in this video!!! Keep up the excellent cooking education and excellent videography.
Much easier way is to put it in a jar with extra room, and a tight lid. Then just slosh it back and forth from end to end and it will take a lot less time and mess. Also only let it 'gather' 1/2 way, which lets it drain better and allows it to be washed more easily. press into ball as you rinse it. Extra benefit, you gain some arm muscles. I grew up on fresh, unpasteurized milk, and we let it just start to sour before making butter. Wish I could still do that as I miss that flavor.
Fascinating but my idea of heaven is a pac of Normandy sel de mer butter with a fresh baguette and a young Brie. Wash it down in Northern France with a newly pressed cidre. Probably not as good as yours but my idea of heaven. Thanks for another great program.
I grew up on a dairy farm, there is NO substitute for real fresh butter! This not only reminds me of childhood it, it makes me hungry! Thank you for the nostalgia & your butter advocacy! 😆
Back in Ireland my great aunt used to make butter in a old wooden churn with cream from milk from her and my uncle's own farm. That stuff was literally golden and nothing else I have ever bought from a store, no matter the cost, tasted as good. I'd go as far as to say if what she made was butter, then nothing else I have had was butter.
Bonjour Chef!! Excellent, thank you for this, this was always on my list of things to understand. I have traveled extensively throughout Latin America and was in Bordeaux last year. The taste of butter in Argentina, Uruguay, and France is similar, and I always wondered why. This hits the nail on the head. I also think that it answers a lot of questions regarding health issues, and why food is so unhealthy in so many countries that follow the "American Standard". We are eating food deprived of part of its nutritional value!!
Made this and I've always loved butter, then tried so e European bitter and fell in love with it its all I ever use now is butter for everything food just tastes better oh and you I'm a chef in Canada.
New camera on the mixer. Nice addition Jack! We love it when Jack clarifies Chef’s verbiage so we don’t get lost in the translation of JP’s English. 😂😂 ‘Rub it all over your body’🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember the first time I had European butter in Switzerland. I was brought the plate and I said to my husband, oh look they brought me some amazing soft cheese instead of butter! Soooo delicious!
French butter from Brittany and Normandy is simply unbeatable, there is nothing like it in the world, a fresh baguette from a boulanger and some real butter doesn’t need anything else, it’s perfection as it is.
@@terryboyer1342 Kerrygold is pretty bland TBH, it’s one of the mass availability butters here in the UK like all the others in the supermarkets, French butter is in a different league, much of it has D.O.P. Protection, we pay a premium for it, but it’s worth every penny.
@@terryboyer1342 If you are in the USA, French butter just isn’t going to be available. I’ve seen American butter and Kerrygold is going to be a big step up from that, from what I’ve seen American butter is like American cheese, cheese is something else that is amazing in France, it’s pretty good in the UK too.
I love that you keep butter and real cream alive. Also I learnt a lot from you how to improve my cooking with both. Its the best cooking channel, because its more like visiting my grandpa and he teaches me cooking - excellent. All these little tricks my grandma would have known as well. She made the best Thyme roast sauce ever.
I am blessed to have both uncultured and cultured butter made from raw cream from grass-fed cows available in the US because I buy my dairy from a farm CSA. Tasting butter of both varieties from raw dairy for the first time was akin to the first time I tried a tomato from my parents garden growing up: it is like night and day when compared to a store-bought tomato. Even expensive butters like kerrygold don't old a candle to that fresh, raw-cream butter I now eat! I like having both cultured and uncultured, as they both can be used for different purposes. The cultured butter is good for spreading on bread or melting over baked potatoes and veggies. The uncultured is nice to cook with, sch as making scrambled eggs.
I was introduced to you and your restaurant in Fort Lauderdale *many* years ago...may be 38 years when I first moved to Florida. My boss and his wife, Marty and Judy Ann Kelley frequented your restaurant. He brought me there once and bought me dinner. I was a regular viewer of PBS and Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, and then you. Marty passed many years ago, but I still remember him every time I see your videos. Thank you for your many years of great cooking and sharing. Bon appétit, Chef!
Yes! We made this in culinary school! I cultured it as long as possible and then made an herb compound butter from it and it was amazing! I recently received unpasteurized milk, skimmed the cream and duplicated the technique! Made cheese, used the whey for marinating a protein:)
South Carolina allows the sale of raw milk (unpasturiazed and not homogenized) so we can get real, true, honest milk here, as well as cream! They also allow the cows to graze in pastures and to eat the grasses in the field, so the quality of the milk is delicious with rich cream on the top!
I suspect my father would have adored Chef Jean-Pierre. The moment he learned that margarine was only one molecule away from plastic,he banned it from the house. He was pro butter all the way.
Water is only one molecule away from hydrogen peroxide. That's why I'm banning water from my house. Aspirin is one molecule away from strychnine. Tylenol is one molecule away from LSD. Salt, is one ATOM away from chlorine. Margarine is garbage, but the "one molecule" reason is bad science.
Now I understand why my Moms butter tasted so much better than store bought. Unfortunately I am no longer able to digest milk products. But I still make butter for my family.😊
I'm not sure whether you have a problem with casein, lactose, or something else in dairy. I have become increasingly lactose intolerant over the past 20 years, but I can still have butter, yogurt and some cheese. It's so interesting how the butter-making process separates the lactose, plus the bacteria in the yogurt and cultured milk products like Chef used removes that sugar before we consume it. Unfortunately, lactase enzymes don't work for me as they create too much stomach acid in my system, which ends up causing my body to react the same way it does to lactose, but I am so fortunate to still be able to have butter to make everything better. I noticed that I could consume almost all dairy on my trip to France because most if it was non-pasteurized.
@@SamiKatzenyou cab combine lactaid with a tums( sodium bucarbonate tablet) to neutralize the acid in your stomach my wife has a similar problem and that works for her
Thank you for showing us how to make the European butter. I have used butter all my life and would not acquiesce to fake butter. Thank you so much it’s the best.
Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing Chef tastes his creations, and then bringing his hands up to his chest to flutter his fingers. I also lost it when he said that “you can rub it all over your body.” 😂
Jean i just want to say thank you for your educational video like this, i always enjoy your videos, i learn so much from chefs like you， again thank you
FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for making this video, I love French butter, it is the absolute best! It’s great how you explain everything and show all the steps. I can’t wait to go out and buy all the ingredients and make some French butter😊
What a legend. First time viewer with no ambitions to make butter, but that might have changed after watching. You are so delightful I could listen to your instructions all day long.
I use to think there was something wrong with my the settings on my laptop, when I watched US chefs using white butter, I love our Irish creamery butter. I remember my Grandmother using the paddles to shape the butter after she churned it by hand.
I've been making cultured butter for years using home made creme fraiche (basically the cream and buttermilk as my starter). I hadn't ever thought to add sour creme in there as well. I'm just about out and needing to make a new batch as it were, so I'm going to give this a try.
Thanks! I just made it; it took much longer as I was afraid it would stick to my whisk attachment, so I moved to my scraping attachment like yours, except it scrapes the sides with a silicon scraper, and it took me 20 minutes for me to realise I had butter. Mine measured 14oz, am I am eating it on a Cuban roll made this morning -- Thank you for this beautiful taste that I remembered with a croissant while crossing the channel to the UK on a French ferry with butter on it!
I never thought I'd see Chef JP end up with butter inside a whisk jail. Poor butter. Apparently paddling is butter's style. That recipe and technique is awesome. What a fun anytime kitchen project for kids and grownups. Fun Thanks Chef and team. 👍

My group of friends have had a supper club for years, one month in someone's house the next month at a restaurant. Last month, my wife and I hosted a Chef Jean-Pierre inspired dinner with onion soup, short rib, mashed potatoes and of course this amazing butter. Leftovers made their way into the office. Everyone concerned loved it all and everyone wants more BUTTER!
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 ❤️
Ahhhh…True Butter ~ a Gift of God❣️
🧈🌱🌞🐂 Bless those Jersey sweet ladies
I tapped here to make sure you were going to talk about and make cultured butter. And 1 minute in, you did not disappoint. Excellent butter video.
Thank you 🙏
I have to ask what's the difference between it being cultured butter? Is the flavor different than making butter just using cream, does it keep it from spoiling, etc?
@@B_Bodziak cultured (fermented) cream has a wonderful aroma and flavor. Butter in general shouldn't spoil especially if it's high in butter fat by volume. But skipping fermentation means ending up with a very bland and tasteless product - still usable for baking and cooking, but definitely lacking flavor and aroma.
@@zeshef
THANK YOU!! I wondered why the butter I made with my children using just cream years and years ago wasn't as tasty as I'd expected. Thank you again! I cannot wait to make this! I keep my butter on the counter in a French water crock just like my mother did. I don't know how long it would take for unrefrigerated butter to spoil because it's eaten so quickly in my home.
@@B_Bodziak a lot of commercial "European style" butter add a "natural flavor" - you can see in the ingredients list. That's because they don't take the time to ferment but replace that time with an additive to approximate the lost flavor. Enjoy your butter experiment!
Am I the only one that gets a happy feeling and smiles in joy every time I watch one of his videos. The man has an ability to bring joy to cooking that is infectious.
His laugh and how he runs his hands together during it.❤
There is definitely something about the tone and cadence of his speech that promulgates a feeling of joy.
I learned to make butter as an 8 year old child. No mixer…hand cranked churn and never went to the store to buy cream, you went to the barn and talked to the cows…lol. Those old ladies made me wash it 3 times in ice water, then pressed it into a carved wooden butter mold. I guess they made kids do this because we didn’t have video games🤣 I’m so glad for all I was taught as I was growing up ❤
EVERYTHING is better with butter! 🧈🍞🥖😊
Made my own butter for over 20 years now and i do it exactly like this! So much better than anything in the shops.
Last time I made it, I used kefir grains to culture the heavy cream. It came out absolutely AMAZING!!!
That whisk segment was HILARIOUS!! Merci beaucoup Chef!!
“Give me butter, more butter, always butter” Fernand Point. Merci chef. Greetings from Portugal
I love how Chef J-P makes the recipes with extreme precision, while explaining everything about the recipe and telling his stories LMAO
Prime example of someone who was born to do it.
This worked BEAUTIFULLY! I let it stand for 36 hours then chilled another 4 hours before whipping. I followed the measurements on the recipe using 40% cream and wound up with 15.9 ounces of amazingly tasting butter and about a quart of incredibly tangy buttermilk. :) Thank you so much.
When do we add salt?
@@carolferguson - check the video at the 10 minute mark.
Our daughter milks her own cows, makes her own unpasteurized butter every week, along with cheese, yogurt, etc. Just like you showed how to do, but doesnt need to add buttermilk and yogurt because its so rich and creamy! Lucky me gets to eat it. I made your clafoutis, delicious, and so easy!
Jealous.😢
Lovely recipe! When I was in the Kindergarten, my teacher had a bottle of buttermilk mixture, and each student took turns shaking the bottle to create butter. Meanwhile, my teacher Mrs Lockner grated zucchini. She added both ingredients to a pan on a hot plate, and sauteed the veggies. All of us students loved the dish! ❤️
👍👍👍😊
That's amazing! It obviously left an impression on you, for you to be able to remember it from Kindergarten! When my daughter was in 4th grade, her class was studying the days of pioneers, and as the room parent, I brought in everything for each child to make butter using glass baby food jars and marbles for them to shake until the cream turned into butter. I also brought in a couple of types of bread that were commonly eaten back then from recipes I found online. Initially, they didn't believe that it was possible for something that looked like milk to turn into butter. My daughter is almost 30yo and still friends with several of her classmates. When she comes home for the holidays and I see some of those friends, they often say that day is one of their fondest memories from elementary school.
I did the same thing in school too! Wonderful memories! I think I was in 1st or second grade when we did this though... Not sure exactly...😂 The joys of getting older!!!! You don't remember as well as you did when you were younger! 😕😕😕😕
what a great teacher!
Chef is using Marburger buttermilk! This is my absolute favorite buttermilk, and yes I drink buttermilk and it's delicious. If you buy this buttermilk to use in the recipe here or you use buttermilk to make things like biscuits or cornbread or even pancakes, follow Chef's advice and leave the buttermilk out on the counter for at least overnight if not 24 yours .This not only thickens up the buttermilk it gives you more of the culture and a much tarter flavor. Not that long ago you can only get this buttermilk in Pennsylvania and surrounding states however I know you can get it in many supermarkets around the country now. If you can't find this particular variety I highly recommend looking for a Bulgarian style cultured buttermilk which is also very thick and very tart.
You can also make a variation of chef's recipe bringing the mixture up to between 180 and 200° and make cheese. I believe if you poke around on RUclips you can find a couple of recipes for cheese using cultured buttermilk. If you've never made it you're missing out
I use Bulgarian buttermilk always and LOVE drinking it! Thanks for the info!
I live in Atlanta, a huge city of about 10 million, and we don't have the Pennsylvania brand nor do we have Bulgarian buttermilk. Boo! Hate that.
@@gigir6761 believe it or not the actual population of Atlanta is only about a half a million. If you include the metro area you get up to a little bit over 6 million. The entire state of Georgia barely has 10 million people.
I can guarantee you that you have marburger buttermilk because they sell it at Publix. I am sure that if you checked more than one grocery store you would also find some kind of Bulgarian buttermilk.
Atlanta has an amazing variety of grocery stores. If you wanted to buy whole milk you can even buy that that has been low pasteurized. It actually has the cream still in it and it is available last I checked that whole foods.
I live in Florida, both Walmart and Publix carry it. It’s the only one I will buy. It’s nice and thick. 👍
I live in Pennsylvania but haven't seen this buttermilk. I'll have to look closer.
When he said it almost tasted like sour cream I thought, I need to find how to make sour cream too.
I made this butter. It is fantastic. Best butter I’ve ever had. If you think butter couldn’t be any better. Think again. This is better than any butter I’ve ever had.
Chef is also the best teacher I’ve ever watched.
I was in Scotland years ago and couldn't understand why the butter was so much better. And now I do. Thanks Chef. You are a treasure.
I’m an American who has never tasted French style butter, but it sounds like heaven and I’ll have to give it a go!
Try this recipe or see if there is a Wegmans near you.
French style butter is my favorite. If there's a whole foods near you, they should have some decent butter options.
It's so good the French even eat just butter sandwiches. Bread with thick slabs of butter.
This is my favorite class. I have learned so much from Chef Jean than I ever learned in the kitchen.... home and restaurants. Thank you for teaching us Chef, it is truly appreciated. Have a blessed and wonderful day. :-)
I love butter. I can personally attest to the cows in Ireland eating the nutrients in the grass there. My brand new WHITE golf shoes were so stained by the emerald greens that they never released the color. Oh the cream was so incredibly rich and the butter on the scones in the mornings was just amazing. Butter is life.
Butter is one of the greatest gifts God has given to mankind. Great video Chef!
You remind me of my Papa. He passed away two years ago and I haven't been the same since. It's nice to be reminded of him.
Chef, I wanted to thank you for sharing with us. I have made over a dozen of your recipes, and each and every one of them has been an absolute sensational hit.
I made this butter. It is fantastic. Best butter I’ve ever had. If you think butter couldn’t be any better. Think again. This is better than any butter I’ve ever had.
Chef is also the best teacher I’ve ever watched.
The only thing I actually measured carefully was the salt. 1%
Two techniques, including the final steps, and two butters! There is no cooking show like this in the world. We're too lucky for words. With the clarified butter, ghee, and cooked roux videos...
I wanna join culinary school just so i can be the most advanced in the class nao 😂
🙏🙏🙏👍
11:16 “you can put it on bread, you can rub it all over your body!” I’ve never felt so seen. 🥹
Chef Jean-Pierre really GETS my relationship with butter.
I get it too 😊
Same!
Don’t get too excited about it. Think about your blood arteries in your heart…
He is so much fun and I love him.
I bake cakes and I special order Beurre Échiré for them and they are so much better than using American butter. Thanks for sharing this recipe, I love having an alternative and the ability to make my own.
Yes, I can imagine how this butter would enhance a cake & other baked goods. Will definitely try. Thx✨
You know someone is genuinely passionate and mastered their craft when they not only make what they do, seem so easy to explain, but they also put a smile on your face while doing it.
Chef never fails to deliver. Teaches me things, even though I spent years in the business decades ago.
🙏🙏🙏👍😊
I always smile at your videos and don't realise I'm even smiling until I realise I am. I love you, chef. Thank you for all your teachings.
🙏🙏🙏❤️
The concept of leaving dairy out at room temp for 2 days was a mind blowing moment that went against everything I’ve been taught as a layman.
Can’t argue with experts or results though. Thank you for opening my eyes and mind sir!
I thinkkit's the presence of the yogurt culture that allows you to do that.
And we do that with raw milk and continue to exist😂
Oh. So, you do leave it out? I assumed he meant to say refrigerator- not kitchen. (I have ADD - so maybe he made it clear and I just didn’t hear).
If your butter is salted, it will be fine on the counter for quite a while. Way longer than 2 days.
@@Sassyglbeauty You leave it on the counter so the good bacteria can thrive. The good bacteria (from yoghurt and cultured buttermilk) prevents bad bacterial growth. Similar process to fermentation.
A good butter is honestly the best thing there is. Getting it from a small farm will make you feel like you missed out on life if you taste it.
I don’t think I would ever make this (no mixer), but as a professional engineer I LOVE the details you provided in this video!!! Keep up the excellent cooking education and excellent videography.
I make smaller amounts of butter in my 2 cup food processor. It works great!
Much easier way is to put it in a jar with extra room, and a tight lid. Then just slosh it back and forth from end to end and it will take a lot less time and mess. Also only let it 'gather' 1/2 way, which lets it drain better and allows it to be washed more easily. press into ball as you rinse it. Extra benefit, you gain some arm muscles.
I grew up on fresh, unpasteurized milk, and we let it just start to sour before making butter. Wish I could still do that as I miss that flavor.
The whisk was a crack up!!! Going to make this. God Bless America back at you! 💖
🙏❤️
This was fascinating! I can't believe I've lived my entire life buying grocery store butter. You have inspired me!
Fascinating but my idea of heaven is a pac of Normandy sel de mer butter with a fresh baguette and a young Brie. Wash it down in Northern France with a newly pressed cidre. Probably not as good as yours but my idea of heaven. Thanks for another great program.
I grew up on a dairy farm, there is NO substitute for real fresh butter! This not only reminds me of childhood it, it makes me hungry! Thank you for the nostalgia & your butter advocacy! 😆
Back in Ireland my great aunt used to make butter in a old wooden churn with cream from milk from her and my uncle's own farm. That stuff was literally golden and nothing else I have ever bought from a store, no matter the cost, tasted as good. I'd go as far as to say if what she made was butter, then nothing else I have had was butter.
Bonjour Chef!! Excellent, thank you for this, this was always on my list of things to understand. I have traveled extensively throughout Latin America and was in Bordeaux last year. The taste of butter in Argentina, Uruguay, and France is similar, and I always wondered why. This hits the nail on the head. I also think that it answers a lot of questions regarding health issues, and why food is so unhealthy in so many countries that follow the "American Standard". We are eating food deprived of part of its nutritional value!!
Made this and I've always loved butter, then tried so e European bitter and fell in love with it its all I ever use now is butter for everything food just tastes better oh and you I'm a chef in Canada.
👍👍👍
New camera on the mixer. Nice addition Jack! We love it when Jack clarifies Chef’s verbiage so we don’t get lost in the translation of JP’s English. 😂😂 ‘Rub it all over your body’🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember the first time I had European butter in Switzerland. I was brought the plate and I said to my husband, oh look they brought me some amazing soft cheese instead of butter! Soooo delicious!
Im not personally interested in making my own butter, but this entire video was so, so interesting and informative to watch
Same here. I also spent most of the video wondering if he was sitting everywhere.
You know how some people sound like they spray when they talk? 😭
I lived in France for 3-4 months and remember how good the butter was. Way better-tasting than American butter! Great recipe, Chef!
You’re right, it's hard to beat European butter! 🙏
I LOVE the educational videos where you explain the "why" of what you teach us!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE The Chef & Jack show!!!!♥️♥️♥️😜😜🤪🤪🤪🔥🔥
Well said ! 😊
If I feel a bit down, you always lift my spirid with your enthusiasm!
Reading 'the big fat surprise' can highly recommend it.
French butter from Brittany and Normandy is simply unbeatable, there is nothing like it in the world, a fresh baguette from a boulanger and some real butter doesn’t need anything else, it’s perfection as it is.
Never had French butter but I love the Kerry Gold butter from Ireland! American butter is so bland in comparison.
@@terryboyer1342 Kerrygold is pretty bland TBH, it’s one of the mass availability butters here in the UK like all the others in the supermarkets, French butter is in a different league, much of it has D.O.P. Protection, we pay a premium for it, but it’s worth every penny.
@@alunjprice Well I'm elderly disabled on a small retirement so I guess Kerry Gold will have to do.
@@terryboyer1342 If you are in the USA, French butter just isn’t going to be available. I’ve seen American butter and Kerrygold is going to be a big step up from that, from what I’ve seen American butter is like American cheese, cheese is something else that is amazing in France, it’s pretty good in the UK too.
@@alunjprice When I was in elem school we made butter by hand a few times. Cottage cheese too. I remember how good it tasted on fresh warm bread.
The “ white “ French butter is just utterly delicious .
I love that you keep butter and real cream alive. Also I learnt a lot from you how to improve my cooking with both. Its the best cooking channel, because its more like visiting my grandpa and he teaches me cooking - excellent. All these little tricks my grandma would have known as well. She made the best Thyme roast sauce ever.
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Butter...makes the world...better! I like the fact that you can make this ...and freeze some of it. Thanks Chef Jean!
I am blessed to have both uncultured and cultured butter made from raw cream from grass-fed cows available in the US because I buy my dairy from a farm CSA. Tasting butter of both varieties from raw dairy for the first time was akin to the first time I tried a tomato from my parents garden growing up: it is like night and day when compared to a store-bought tomato. Even expensive butters like kerrygold don't old a candle to that fresh, raw-cream butter I now eat! I like having both cultured and uncultured, as they both can be used for different purposes. The cultured butter is good for spreading on bread or melting over baked potatoes and veggies. The uncultured is nice to cook with, sch as making scrambled eggs.
I was introduced to you and your restaurant in Fort Lauderdale *many* years ago...may be 38 years when I first moved to Florida. My boss and his wife, Marty and Judy Ann Kelley frequented your restaurant. He brought me there once and bought me dinner. I was a regular viewer of PBS and Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, and then you. Marty passed many years ago, but I still remember him every time I see your videos. Thank you for your many years of great cooking and sharing. Bon appétit, Chef!
Yes! We made this in culinary school! I cultured it as long as possible and then made an herb compound butter from it and it was amazing! I recently received unpasteurized milk, skimmed the cream and duplicated the technique! Made cheese, used the whey for marinating a protein:)
by far, Chef Jean-Pierre is my favorite chef to watch. He just seems like a very approachable person.
Thank you so much Chef Jean-Pierre for this informative video about the difference between European and American Butters!
My favorite chef ! Bless you my friend.
South Carolina allows the sale of raw milk (unpasturiazed and not homogenized) so we can get real, true, honest milk here, as well as cream! They also allow the cows to graze in pastures and to eat the grasses in the field, so the quality of the milk is delicious with rich cream on the top!
👍👍👍
Everybody now: "Butter is our friend!" ❤ Love you, Chef😊
LOL the flashback scene was great, Jack! 🤣
I suspect my father would have adored Chef Jean-Pierre. The moment he learned that margarine was only one molecule away from plastic,he banned it from the house. He was pro butter all the way.
Water is only one molecule away from hydrogen peroxide. That's why I'm banning water from my house.
Aspirin is one molecule away from strychnine.
Tylenol is one molecule away from LSD.
Salt, is one ATOM away from chlorine.
Margarine is garbage, but the "one molecule" reason is bad science.
Looks pretty easy. May try that
Now I understand why my Moms butter tasted so much better than store bought. Unfortunately I am no longer able to digest milk products. But I still make butter for my family.😊
Lactaid or any other off brand lactase enzyme pill! It’s been an absolute lifesaver for me 😮💨 I’d die without dairy 💀
I'm not sure whether you have a problem with casein, lactose, or something else in dairy. I have become increasingly lactose intolerant over the past 20 years, but I can still have butter, yogurt and some cheese. It's so interesting how the butter-making process separates the lactose, plus the bacteria in the yogurt and cultured milk products like Chef used removes that sugar before we consume it. Unfortunately, lactase enzymes don't work for me as they create too much stomach acid in my system, which ends up causing my body to react the same way it does to lactose, but I am so fortunate to still be able to have butter to make everything better. I noticed that I could consume almost all dairy on my trip to France because most if it was non-pasteurized.
@@SamiKatzenyou cab combine lactaid with a tums( sodium bucarbonate tablet) to neutralize the acid in your stomach my wife has a similar problem and that works for her
Try unpasteurized dairy, you might be able to handle it since the enzymes are not destroyed.
@@zablogful I grew up on a dairy farm drinking unpasteurized milk. I'm allergic.
Those are hands have made that recipe thousands of times! What a fun treat.
You are AMAZING! Teaching us to make our own Butter? A Master Chef with an educator’s heart. Thank you Chef, can’t wait to make this this weekend.
Thank you for showing us how to make the European butter. I have used butter all my life and would not acquiesce to fake butter. Thank you so much
it’s the best.
Remember when butter made the cover of Time magazine?! I've always loved butter❤
You are my favorite Chef on RUclips ❤!!!
Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing Chef tastes his creations, and then bringing his hands up to his chest to flutter his fingers.
I also lost it when he said that “you can rub it all over your body.” 😂
Jean i just want to say thank you for your educational video like this, i always enjoy your videos, i learn so much from chefs like you， again thank you
Now can you do a video showing different things to make using a he left over buttermilk. Thanks
Oh I'm with you. Butter. Enough said. It's magical
FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for making this video, I love French butter, it is the absolute best! It’s great how you explain everything and show all the steps. I can’t wait to go out and buy all the ingredients and make some French butter😊
He is like that fun uncle you have who loves and is great at cooking. He has such a passionate a fun vibe. Love your videos!
Thanks so much 🙏❤️
When it comes to butter, my appetite does not exclude possibility. Haven't even finished the video and my mouth is watering.
What a legend. First time viewer with no ambitions to make butter, but that might have changed after watching.
You are so delightful I could listen to your instructions all day long.
I use to think there was something wrong with my the settings on my laptop, when I watched US chefs using white butter, I love our Irish creamery butter. I remember my Grandmother using the paddles to shape the butter after she churned it by hand.
Great job chef piere
Yes! I'm subscribed and making this butter 😊
Enjoy it!!!😊
Love how you show the difficulty difference in using the wisk
I've been making cultured butter for years using home made creme fraiche (basically the cream and buttermilk as my starter). I hadn't ever thought to add sour creme in there as well. I'm just about out and needing to make a new batch as it were, so I'm going to give this a try.
This man makes fun videos. Fact.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
Learned a lot today thanks Chef!
Thanks! I just made it; it took much longer as I was afraid it would stick to my whisk attachment, so I moved to my scraping attachment like yours, except it scrapes the sides with a silicon scraper, and it took me 20 minutes for me to realise I had butter. Mine measured 14oz, am I am eating it on a Cuban roll made this morning -- Thank you for this beautiful taste that I remembered with a croissant while crossing the channel to the UK on a French ferry with butter on it!
Thank you 🙏
I never thought I'd see Chef JP end up with butter inside a whisk jail.
Poor butter. Apparently paddling is butter's style.
That recipe and technique is awesome. What a fun anytime kitchen project for kids and grownups. Fun
Thanks Chef and team. 👍
Sir, you are DELIGHTFUL🙌🏼❣️💐
Thank you for your JOY!
I have subscribed!
I look forward to learning from your videos
I am going to make this soon!! I already got the ingredients. I will update my comment 😊😊
