    I was in a rehab center that didn't allow us to have much outside food, but we were allowed to have coffee creamer. I bought heavy cream with the excuse of using it for my coffee. I made whip cream for the pie we were served and butter for my morning toast and muffins. I also mixed a little honey and boy was it a hit with the other residents. Heck, I can make it with very few supplies and ingredients then anyone can make it BTW, 2 years sober.

    Can confirm a child can do it. When I was little my mom taught me how to make butter one Thanksgiving. That was my tradition to make it every year after that. Only difference is I made it by shaking it in a mason jar until my arm fell off. Love isn’t the only secret ingredient. Pain and suffering is as well 🤪🤪

      I did this for my daughters class with a bread machine for Thanksgiving for 1st-4th grades.
      After putting in ingredients to the machine and hit start I'd hand the first desk child the mason jar and told them to pass it around while the bread cooked and then we feasted.
      I wasn't going to do it for 5th grade but the teacher contacted me telling me they were requesting it!
      Years later going through a checkout at Publix a early 20 something man behind me on line said
      "sir, is your daughter Emma and did you bring the bread machine every year?
      After saying yes he told me it was something he will never forget and looks forward to maybe someday doing the same thing for his.
      Made my heart feel fantastic

    I like to add a little salt, if you want to make a softer butter that’s very spreadable, add a little extra virgin olive oil, this is how they make the spreadable butter in the tubs, you can also season it for specific recipes, like with rosemary and thyme or sage, it’s such a treat, so if you have some heavy cream in the fridge, and it’s getting close to the date and you don’t know what to do with it, make butter, the chef did a great job with this video

    For anyone curious, you can take a mason jar and fill it with heavy cream about 3/4 full, tighten lid and just start shaking. It’s really that easy. After you get that lump of butter, simply rinse in ice cold water to remove the milky white liquid left behind called buttermilk. Then store in the fridge or freezer til needed. The only real issue is that heavy cream is also just about as expensive as butter...
    I use organic heavy cream, which only has cream in it, no preservatives, propylene glycols or other crap.

For a classroom, there are lots of plastic containers with screw-on lids easily found at any store.

      My mom also did this with me as a kid. At one point we were studying settlers in history class and i used it for my show and tell, and served the butter made with crackers to the class. My mom before passing away gave me an old recipe book she had from when she little with recipes from the 1800's bc she knew i loved history like this and an unfinished quilt that was pieced but not flocked that my great grandmother had made. she had carried in her hope chest since before marriage. My older sister got the ornate cedar chest and the other quilt. Both were in pristine condition even after 50+ years!! We both had them finished and it is not only used, but pride of place in both our homes. They were so pristine they could have been pieced together last week except some of the fabrics you might not find today or as well made. I grew up with finished quilt s like these from as far back as can remember not realizing that my great grandmother had made all them until I was out of the house and didn't know more existed until right at time Mom's illness became terminal and she told us what she wanted. We were never allowed in the chest which bad a key. It also had her wedding dress ( with a waist size you could span your hands around) and her old diaries from before marriage and even discloses when she met Dad!! Lol. Dad's sailor suit from wwii, even tho he stayed state side due to vision. Remarkable time capsules you don't see anymore. Sorry i digress, but brought back many memories. She talked about how my grandmother and great grandmother would churn butter and how she helped. My Grandmother had a car that had the crank on the front and my Dad would take the train/trolley from Dallas to Itasca to see mom and would borrow the car to take mom out. The car was named "Ginny" and she would crank that car saying, "Come-on Ginny!! You can do it!!" As she cranked. It would finally start and off my Dad and mom would go a-courting but had to be back in time for dinner. Lol.

    I make homemade butter all the time. I quit buying store bought butter years ago. There is no comparison! I also use my stand mixer. I have a splatter guard, but also wrap the top of the bowel and where the paddle is with a tea towel. For shaping, I use the heart shaped silicone mats from IKEA . Each mat has 6 hearts, and each heart holds about a tbsp of butter. I freeze the hearts in sandwich bags. I do large batches of butter, for about 3 months time. I keep a sandwich bag of butter in the fridge at a time. Easy to use,no need to think, I just grab how many hearts I need.

    Hi there Jean-Pierre! I'm 73 years old and spent part of my growing up on a little farm. My mom would go around the corner to a dairy farm and buy milk in a glass gallon jar straight from the cow. When it sat overnight it had like 2 inches of cream on the top, so sometimes mom would use the cream for whipped cream or make butter using an electric mixer. It was delicious! I really miss those simple days. God bless you!!! 💗🎹🇺🇸🕊️🕊️🕊️

    First off this man is adorable! Second, he is right about not leaving it alone once you pass the whipped cream stage. The first time I made it, I left it and once the butter separated from the buttermilk, the butter became a paddle that splashed all the buttermilk ALL over my kitchen. I place a tea towel over the top toward the end. 3) you can also use a hand mixer 4) when done, just pour the buttermilk out and add salt to taste. Or you can take bits out and mix with honey or herbs. Put in containers and it makes great Christmas gifts with a loaf of homemade bread!)...but be sure to take the buttermilk out first. 5) you really don't have to rinse it. I've been making butter for a decade now without rinsing and have never had it turn rancid. But I also always use it within a few weeks of making it so.....6) the buttermilk! Ohhhhh the buttermilk! Use it in replacement of any milk requirement in baking (including bread) and guaranteed your baked goods will be noticeably better. Pour a little bit over your dog's food. They LOVE it and it's good for them! No fat, just protein! Use it to marinate ANY meat. Yep. Steak, chicken, pork, etc. Put your meat in the marinade in the morning (plain buttermilk or add salt, pepper, herbs, etc.) then rinse it off before cooking. It will be the tenderist, juiciest meat you've ever had. Guaranteed. It's freezable too. Or finally, you can use it on cereal or anywhere you use milk. Or just drink it!
    He is right. Once you make it, you'll never want storebought again!

    Yes, children can make butter. One of my classes (grade 1 or 2), had our teacher take a jar, put cream in it and it was handed to us to shake a bit then give to the next kid. Within a short amount of time, we has a solid lob of butter in the jar! It was a cool way to show how butter was made.

    This takes me back so many years. My grandma made 1lb of butter from scratch every week on Saturday mornings. I loved to spend the night with her so I could watch her make it.
    When it was done and wrapped up in parchment paper and put half in fridge, half in the freezer, she'd get a couple of glasses from the freezer and we'd drink the butter milk together. You might ask: why glasses from the freezer? Me and grandma loved the teeny bits of butter that would escape from the cheese cloth, and the frozen glasses would keep it solid so we could enjoy mashing those tiny bits on the roof of our mouths. 😋
    On Sunday morning gram would make pancakes, and she'd put that delicious butter on them. Oh the joy of nostalgia 😌

    I am a 45-plus year chef and I love watching your videos. You push the same thing I always have, that cooking is really easy, it's just a matter of doing. When I was a kid we had a dairy at the end of our Lane and we got fresh milk a couple times a week and we would separate the cream from the milk making fresh butter, fresh ice cream and all that comes with it. Some of these comments takes me back to when I was running a White Winged Dove hunting camp in Mexico. I had my girls in the kitchen making whipped cream for dessert and they got busy and stepped away from the mixer for a bit. When they got back to it, they hollered at me to come quick. I went up and they had left it go so long that the sweet whipped cream had turned into sweet butter. They had no idea how to make butter and were so thrilled when they found out what they had done (and that I wasn'tmad at them). They were so thrilled, I taught them how to make butter the right way, lightly salted. What they had made by mistake actually went fairly decent with the cornbread that we made for one of our evening meals. Thank you for your attitude as you teach people how to cook. It really isn't rocket science and if people would just try instead of "I can't", they would find a whole new world of wonderful food for themselves.

    Btw, one of the best videos I have seen on making butter. Here is another great tip: 😊 if you make this butter out of yogurt, then make ghee, you will have access to 3000 year old secret of health from old Indian civilization, which even many Indians are not aware of. Ghee is clarified butter, which is like a medicinal herb for your skin, body, bones, and health. BUT, it needs to be made from yogurt cream. Yes, you read that right. THAT is the secret of real ghee. Many villages in India still make it that way. The trick? Make yogurt from whipping cream and then follow the procedure listed here. If you are over 50, ghee is especially important. Lots of videos on how to make ghee from yogurt but this one will do if you first make yogurt from whipping cream, then scrape off the fat cream from the yogurt and keep it, then make ghee the way it is made from that cream.

      puts it in the bowl/bot,
      Leaves it to suffer for a few minutes till terror solidifies,
      THEN the cream becomes uncertain of its life decisions and goes both ways as "buttermilk" and "butter"

    Thanks for sharing this simple method, Chef! You took me on a trip down memory lane today!
    I remember, from the 1950s, when my Grandmother sat out on the porch at their Minnesota home, and churned butter in her old wooden churn. When the churning was done, she took a couple squares of cheesecloth, and put all the scrapings from the churn into the center. She then carefully gathered the corners up and started twisting the corners together, making a big ball of the butter, and put it right into her "butter bowl" filled with the ultra-cold water from their well.
    A bit later, she would take the ball and start shaping it while it was in the bowl, and would pour off the water and replace it with more, freshly hand pumped from the well. I guess that was the 'washing' stage to get the last of the buttermilk out. She finally divided the ball, and put part of it in her butter cup (the upside-down kind,) and the rest to the freezer, all wrapped up in wax paper, and foil on the outside. My Grandfather always got the buttermilk left in the churn, so nothing went to waste. And oh, the taste of that fresh butter on warm freshly-baked bread! Heavenly!!

Ran to the store, got what I needed, and made my first batch tonight. My wife and I were stunned how simple this was to make, and GOOD it is, even with store brand heavy whipping cream.

      My fifth grade teacher brought a pint of heavy cream to class to teach us about the old fashioned way to make butter with the churn etc. But for the class she just let every student shake the heck out the container and pass it around to everyone and at the end she opened it up and you could see the butter forming.

    Hi chef from jello master . I will never forget making butter by mistake ! I was apprentice cook at the time. Chef Pierre at northwood country club in dallas instructed me to place two gallons of heavy cream into big hobart mixer to make whipped cream. I started mixing it with the sugar and extract; then I left it too long. It was for a big party. HE was very mad at me but did not fire me ! I learned a lesson. We made more whipped cream in a hurry !

      Many of us kitchen folk have found out accidentally how to make butter. Generally right after someone asks “hey where’s the whipped cream”. One time we ran out of butter and my chef told me to grab some cream. Then after we made it he smiled at me and said “ we turned $15 dollars of cream into $5 of butter.”

    On a trip to visit my aunt in Mississippi (we lived in SoCal, I still do) in the early 50’s my aunt would churn butter almost every day out on their huge covered patio and I still remember that taste on her homemade biscuits, fresh eggs and bacon and sausage gravy. Thick sliced sweet huge tomatoes. Even though us kids weren’t allowed to have that fresh ground coffee the smell of it percolating was mouth watering, my parents were ecstatic about it with the fresh thick cream. That was a memorable trip, and we would make that drive every couple years in the woody or subsequent station wagon. Us 4 girls, all almost 2 years apart, would sing Johnny Angel which became our long drive song lol. Oh, the memories.

    My great-grandmother used a Mason jar and shaked the cream while singing. Then we'd hear that 'swish' of buttermilk then the 'thump' of the butter being solidified. Best butter ever. I've made a few tweaks but I kinda still make it the way she did.

    Add salt to the ice water when you do it.
    It will get extremely cold because of the salt and ice, then it will also season your butter and keep it very solid.
    Thanks Chef! I enjoy your NY italian accent, you must of spent a lot of years in the states up north. : )
    Back in my time I use to make butter by hand, saving the cream from freshly squeezed milk from the farm. You boil it, remobe the cream, feeze it, and do it over and over again, then you churn it and add salt, there is your home made butter. I also made cheese as well.
    This method is covenient and quite simple.
    Enjoy guys!
    And remember, no more buying Amish butter!

One batch we made as a savory with fresh garlic, fresh green onions, dried chives, dried oregano and thyme. I decided to roll the butters into logs as it was easy to slice and serve. We had some of the savory butter on baked potatoes. Wonderful. The kids plan on putting it on fish when they cook it. Ooo it would be wonderful on steak. This was easy and a fun project.

    Yep, I learned years ago that making butter was as simple as beating heavy cream until it separates and so I tried it with my handheld mixer. It really is true! I haven't made it much lately, but it is easy. It's definitely worth trying yourself and it's very satisfying.

    I just got home from the store - just barely got there before closing - to make a breakfast casserole, when I realized i forgot to buy butter.
    Luckily, I bought a whole lot of heavy whipping cream for coffee, and I remembered this video. Making me some homemade butter right now! The casserole needs to sit overnight, so I thought I was in trouble for a moment there, as I couldn't just go grab some butter in the morning.
    I need to get me a proper mixer; I'm doing this by hand with a bowl and whisk. I'm periodically letting it chill in the freezer to bring the temperature down.
    If anyone is curious, the casserole is as follows:
    Cut a pack of King Hawaiian rolls in half (planar, as if to make mini hamburger buns, but don't separate the rolls) and force them into a 13x9 pan (may want to use some Pam spray), cut sides up. ALTERNATIVE: 6 slices white bread, trimmed.
    Butter the top of the rolls (the side facing up, which used to be the interior).
    Brown until crumbly 1 lb of spicy Tennessee Pride pork sausage.
    Sprinkle sausage and 1 1/2 cups of shredded longhorn cheese, or whatever cheese blend you like (I'm using a Mexican style taco blend).
    MIX and pour over sausage and cheese:
    6 large eggs
    2 cups half & half
    1/2 teaspoon of table salt (optional)
    Cover (plastic or foil both work) and let chill overnight (at least 8 hours).
    Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes while preheating oven to 350F.
    Cook for 45 minutes, or until golden.
    That's a recipe my mom used to make back in the '90s, and it was one of my favorite parts of my childhood.
    Personally, I'm also adding diced fresh sweet peppers, because every family recipe deserves a generational spin to the original. :)
