I’m 61 years old, when we were young my parents would buy raw milk from a local dairy. My mother would use a milk churn (no mixer) to separate the milk (buttermilk) from the butter. It took some work girl. She would do it at this time of year because she wanted homemade butter for cakes and pies for the holidays. Seeing you do this brought back memories. ❤
I grew up on a farm, (and still live on a farm), and we made butter all the time. We milked every day and when we needed butter we made it. We didn't use a mixer though. We put our cream in a jar with a tight lid and shook it. We would sit around the fireplace, we didn't have tv, and each of us would take a few turns, shaking the jar. I've also made butter in an old fashioned churn. It was a fun experience but harder than the jar method. We still leave our butter out on the counter so it will spread nicely without tearing our bread. Excellent video.
My grandparents had a dairy farm and I have so many great memories. They drank their own milk, and Grandpa drank homemade butter milk. When I would sleep over, my grandparents would get up when it was still dark to go milk the cows (by hand), and I would hear my Grandfather asking my Grandmother if she was sure I wasn't sick, because I was still sleeping, even though it was 4am... 😊They never had a furnace, but heated the house with a coal stove in the kitchen, which Grandma used to cook on, and a coal stove in the living room. They lived like this until they passed away in the late 80's. I loved them so much and have so many great memories. Thanks for posting this! From the looks of the comment section, it seems to have brought back a lot of great memories for us old folks ❤
My Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Dewitt brought a Ball quart canning jar with cream in it to our classroom once. She had us sit in a circle on the floor and take turns shaking the jar while she kept a watchful eye on all of us as she played the piano to a peppy tune to help keep us shaking it. When she stopped playing the piano we knew it was time to pass the jar to the next child for their turn to shake the jar. Once it was solidified, she stopped playing the piano and took the jar into the kitchen at school to finish it while her student helper read to us. When Mrs. Dewitt, returned to our room the butter was ready, and she had brought in some freshly baked homemade bread she made at home and for our snack break we all enjoyed the butter we helped make with her bread. I'll never forget how good it all tasted to go with our cartons of milk. My mom is from Kentucky. She grew up on a farm with her 10 siblings. My grandparents always had BUTTERMILK on hand whenever we drove down from Michigan to visit my grandparents when we were young. I loved drinking good cold buttermilk and still do to this day! My Grandpa would always have a snack before bedtime by crumbling up homemade cornbread into a tall glass then pour buttermilk over it and eat it with an iced tea spoon every night. I never tried having buttermilk over cornbread, but I sure enjoyed drinking a glass of buttermilk while he ate his favorite nightly snack. Shoot, my grandma was such a good cook and always made huge meals so I was never hungry before bedtime, so I just drank the buttermilk keeping Grandpa company while he had his snack sitting at the dining room table. He was rather a quiet man, never said much but he was very kind, generous, and enjoyed having us around. He'd get weepy eyed when mom and dad would load up the car to go back to Michigan with 4 kids. Grandpa would always say "I wish y'all could stay a little while longer"... Did you know that you can make a boxed cake mix taste like you made it from scratch by using Buttermilk instead of water or milk? I also never use oil in my cake mixes. Instead of oil, I always use a whole stick of butter and beat that cake mix well! YUM....
@@elove2.038 I am originally born and raised in Kalamazoo MI. I now live near the Indiana line in a small town called Bronson MI. My family still live in Kalamazoo though. Are you a Michigander too?
My grandparents had a dairy farm also. My Grandpa was also a very quiet, humble man. I never heard him raise his voice once. They would get up around 4am to milk the cows by hand, and I would hear Grandpa ask Grandma if I was sick because I was still sleeping lol. He would always drink homemade buttermilk before bed. They never had a furnace, but heated the house with a coal stove in the kitchen and one in the living room. Grandma cooked all the meals on the coal stove. They lived like this until they died in the late 80's. Whenever we would leave, my Grandma would be at a certain window waving goodbye as we drove down the "lane" and Dad honked the horn. I continued the tradition as an adult when we left with the kids at my parents house. They would be waving at the window, and we waved and honked the horn. I have such great memories from my childhood with them and miss those days with no social media , and 3 TV stations. My father refused to buy a colored TV until the black and white one died when I was around 14 lol. Great memories
I make butter in a mason jar with heavy whipping cream. Been doing it this way 50 years. We even did it in grade school passing the jar around. Shake it till its solid. Just pour out the buttermilk. Its easy, especially with kids. No handling it at all. Never had it spoil. I like mine salted and add a bit when i pour in the cream. We put cornbread in the bottom of a mug and poured buttermilk over it and ate it with a spoon.
Is making butter with the heavy cream healthier than buying butter from the store? Cause heavy cream is still fattening. But its proable overall healthier than buying butter right??
Omg 😱 I had no idea you could make butter this way. I went to the grocery store yesterday and a four package of butter was $8. Thanks for sharing this.
Yes! I do this, and it's so good! I also make my own ricotta and cottage cheese. All three of these items are so much better tasting when you make it yourself. Thank you for sharing. 💜
If you don't want/need the buttermilk, you can add the salt at the mixing stage. I just put my butter in a lidded Pyrex glass container, and I use a spoon to press out any leftover liquid. The butter will last at least a week or more.
My grandmother made her own butter. She had cows, pigs, chickens and ducks. The butter would be wrapped in cloth and sitting on the kitchen table. We kids would take homemade biscuits with butter and dark molasses. Yum
😂 First time my youngest helped with making egg nog, he made butter by mistake. Anytime I have cream left that's about to expire, I make it into butter & freeze it. Thanks for posting. 💙
Hey Camirra 🤗 I’ve never made butter but I love whipped butter that the restaurants serve with that warm bread. As much butter we use I need to make it.
In the early 60s, my Grandma taught me to make butter. I showed my Grandson how to make butter just using a mason jar. shake shake shake! In about 7-8 minutes he had butter. Unfortunately heavy cream is so expensive now, it’s hard to justify the cost for the amount of butter it makes.
I grew up on gub'ment butter and cheese. That was the best tasting to me compared to what's on the market today. I have not found one brand that I like from the most expensive to the cheapest. Of course, I am going to give this a try. Thanks Sistah-Friend. :)
Thank you so much for showing us how butter can be made 😊. You did an excellent job 👏🏾. That’s a lot of work . Looks very delicious 😋 . I do not like my extremities being cold , so know my hands wouldn’t last in the cold water Lol 😂.
Hey sis!! I absolutely adore you and your videos. You make cooking look so much fun. Can't wait to see what recipes you have up your sleeves as we approach the Holidays. Have you ever made a Beef Wellington? I've always wanted to make it and would love to see your take on it.
Genius! I saw a lady on RUclips make whipped cream with just cream and a plastic food bag. Blow air in the bag & twist the top. Shake till it stops making noise. Amazing, the things our parents & grandparents did to care for their families.
My parents used to buy buttermilk for cooking but we also drank it. It wasn't horrible but I've never wanted to drink it as an adult. Good for making Ranch dressing though.
I actually made butter a few months ago by shaking in a large mason jar! Talk about an arm work out! It was fascinating though when the butter separated from the buttermilk! I definitely prefer this method. My mom used to love to put buttermilk and cornbread in a bowl, like cereal, and she would drink buttermilk too.
3:42 the drink wich your mom used to have in her childhood is a traditional pakistani drink called " lassi". Oh my Allah it is soooooooo delicious . we have it with. Breakfast too during summers ❤❤❤. Love ur vids live from pakistan ❤❤❤😊😊
I never made butter. I grew up the city in Boston, Massachusetts. I always saw videos now on how to make butter and read how to make butter when I was younger.
I love making our butter but I wish I had a better source of cream. I usually add the salt to the mixer and I don’t rinse it as thoroughly 😬 I haven’t had a problem with it in the fridge.
@@CamirrasKitchen It's out for weeks sometimes. We go though a half lb about every other week. I use it to cook and bake. It's covered. It doesn't really go bad. I've seen small specks of what I thought might be mold once in a great while but I just pick it off. We go through quite a bit of butter though.
It's not always about money. For me, it's nice to know exactly what's in my food and I don't use "iodized" salt so I appreciate being able to add the salt I prefer. Also, there are times when a store isn't an option so knowing other ways to do things will always be helpful.
This whipping cream was $4. So for 12.5 oz of butter and buttermilk that isn’t bad. Depends on prices. But also sometimes I like to know what’s in my food or just enjoy making it for enjoyment
I made it years ago as a science project. We put heavy cream in cold baby food jars and put it in a ziplock bag with ice and salt. After shaking, shaking, and shaking we had homemade butter.
My girlyou need to adjust that attachment hub where you are going to ruin every attachment and Prematurely wearing out the motor.! It's easy there's a billion videos dedicated to doing that 🤣. I once made butter by accident. I forgot to set the digital timer on my stand mixer and did kept going when I really only wanted whipped cream.🙏✌
@@CamirrasKitchen i think she means the cap thingamajig over the bowl - the cap you remove before you put attachments like meat grinder on the machine. But yours looks attached and fine to me. You have a heavy duty model so I wouldn't worry, those motors can take a lot of use. I have one that's 30 years old and it stills works well.
If I had a family it might be a good idea. But with one person the difference in cost of heavy whipping cream and a lb. of butter isn't worth the work. Besides I don't ia stand mixer. 😊
I am aware that a person can churn their own butter. However not for me. If I had a cow or goat or sheep well then for sure. But I don't and I like the brand I buy so not a problem. I am thinking some day perhaps getting one or more of those animals but not today Im also considering getting a "lard" breed of pig for yuppers hou guessed it, lard. But this is not that day either. Have a great day 🐄🐖🐑🐐🐔🦃🦆🥚

We use to sell it back when I was a kid we had the butter molds with the design in it
Thanks for sharing. First time watching butter being made. Yes I love butter milk. Mom use to eat her cornbread with buttermilk.
Wow! Thank you so much! Absolutely gonna try this!!💜💜💜💁
Buttermilk and some cornbread are like eating breakfast. My mom did this all the time.
I'm gonna have to try this for the first time. Been buying Land O' Lakes butter for years. Great job.

Yes I keep butter on the counter
I made it and LOVE it!!!
awesome!!!
i am going to try my self frm FT Lauderdale FL
Would this work with whole milk? This is very interesting!
no it must be heavy cream. there is no sub for that. the butter if the fat in the heavy cream
Thank you so much!
I’m gonna definitely try this.
But I wonder if a food processor be quicker just so I can reserve my KitchenAid for another recipe?
a commenter said it would! I havent tried it but i bet it would work!
Ima try it!

Showing us how to save money, because the expensive butter got me in a chokehold right now 😂
Yup!
Say again what to do if you want room temp butter? U gotta use up all that within a couple days??
once you wash it well you can put it in a butter dish . it can stay room temp esp if you house is not too hot. i would use it up in like a week
Absolutely
How much cream does it take to make a pound of butter ?
Love you
Our butter sits out on the counter most the year, but summer time is too warm and don't want moldy butter so we keep it in the fridge.
how long can 1 stick sit out before it goes bad? or do you use it up quick?
@@CamirrasKitchen It's out for weeks sometimes. We go though a half lb about every other week. I use it to cook and bake. It's covered. It doesn't really go bad.

@@CamirrasKitchen I was curious because I saw heavy cream at my grocery store yesterday for over 7.00 almost 8.00 insane price.
Where I live it is cheaper to buy butter . The cream it would take is too expensive .
Heavy cream is slightly more then the butter when its on sale in canada
I did/do not like the taste of buttermilk. My dad would add a little sugar as he felt it was important to the gut to have some fresh buttermilk.
Oh yes
Cant you just put water in the freezer before it turns to ice? So its super cold
yes but y freezer is way too full for that lol
Always wanted to do this for grass fed butter. It’s so pricey
Buttermilk is a great probiotic.
Yes ma’am I have but I use the food processor it’s faster
ok ill try that in my food processor!
Neat
I leave some out for speadability, not all.
No ive never made it at home but im going to start. Things are getting too expensive.
I made it years ago as a science project. We put heavy cream in cold baby food jars and put it in a ziplock bag with ice and salt. After shaking, shaking, and shaking we had homemade butter.
I still keep butter on the counter. I've gotten better at only keeping a little and not the whole stick though. lol
I keep mine on the counter
