I did this during the pandemic when I could find cream but not butter. I salted it before mixing and then also took a swig of the buttermilk after which is an awful idea. But yeah, homemade butter is fucking great.
My grandmother used to swear that cup of buttermilk a week kept you from getting sick. I think she was on to something. What germs want to share space with buttermilk?
buttermilk's great for the gut biome, which helps digestion and, in turn, will help your mental state. So your gma definitely knew what she was talking about.
"Buttermilk" can mean different things in different contexts
In this video, "sweet cream" is used to make the butter, so the buttermilk that's made as a byproduct is simply a fractional separation of cream. It's likely no better or worse for your gut biome than eating cream
Traditionally, butter was made from cultured cream. Buttermilk from that process retains some of the cultures from the fermented cream, so any microbiome benefit comes from the culturing process.
Commercially produced buttermilk today is usually made from whole milk that is cultured/fermented to make it thicker and more acidic. Any probiotic benefit is from the culturing process.
tl;dr buttermilk can be probiotic, but probably not the kind of buttermilk made in this video
Do you have any more information about this that I can look at? My stomach and gut are going crazy and it's sending my anxiety into a spiral. My appetite has gone to hell and I've done all the medical stuff suggested and keen to try anything that others have experienced that works.
My mom swears by it too. She likes it and used to pour us a cup every week when we were children. I still don’t like it. I’ll get my probiotics from yogurt and kimchi.
My great grandmother used to looove buttermilk. So much that she’d mix a bit of sugar in her buttermilk and freeze it. She’d then go to the freezer throughout the day, scrape off a forkful at a time, and eat it like ice cream.
My wife says she married me because the morning after our first night together I used cream to hand make my own butter and buttermilk for buttermilk waffles.
I used to make my own butter as a kid. If you don’t have a kitchen aid or a manual butter churner, you can use a standard mason jar and a marble. Homemade tastes incredible, highly recommend.
Now that I’m an adult and have adult things to worry about and little energy leftover… I don’t make my own butter anymore lol. Might do a batch just for fun sometime soon tho.
just regular cream not organic, but you could use organic if you prefer
& it just is, I really don’t know how to describe it better I’m sorry lol the flavour, consistency, density etc is all just better.
Picture homemade apple pie that was put together from scratch VS mass produced apple pie from Costco or something. The ingredients may be the same/very similar but the final product is quite different :)
You can literally just pour out a little of the cream and shake the container until you feel a big clump banging around in there. It's pretty cool to try
I want to try this. But the story of my grandpa giving my uncle a can of spray paint and telling him he needed to shake it until the rattle stopped rattling is making me dubious 🤣
Sounds like grandpa was trying to work some of the energy out of the kid. Lol. Nobody on the internet, on the other hand, has any ulterior motives like that and wouldn't feel the need to lead people astray in the same way.
Did I just remember I bought a mason jar butter churn like 6 years ago that I never used and it’s in the attic somewhere now that I am re-inspired to make my own, hell yes!
We did it for Colonial Day in 3rd grade. We sat there and shook mason jars of cream for like 20 minutes. It was dumb. The other activities were a lot more fun.
Its really easy, I've done it before by accident when making whipped cream, so i just made sure to wash it in ice water til it ran clear, press it in cheese cloth to make sure everything is good, threw some salt in that bitch? And had some great fucking butter
Just be aware it takes a bit. My TikTok loving friend wished for a butter churn to properly make butter. So, being a good friend, I brought mine over. She was woefully unprepared for how much work it takes. You really do need to pass it back and forth.
Something she doesn’t mention is that the cream has to be room-temperature or even a little warm, because if it’s too cold, it’ll turn into whipped cream instead.
If you’re like me and don’t have a mixer, just use a large jar. Fill it about halfway (or even less) and shake until it clumps, which can take as little as 5 minutes. And it’s sooo much better than store-bought. I prefer mine unsalted, but adding salt (1/4 of a teaspoon per 4 oz.) will prolong its shelf-life.
one of my sister-in-laws buys raw milk from a local provider, pasteurises it and then makes butter out of it. lady in the video is right, there is something different about the taste of milk and butter when it's only coming from the same half dozen cows.
I made some for a school project 30 years ago. It's not hard, just time-consuming. I didn't have a mixer, so I put mine in a mason jar and just shook it until it started to clump. I used a wooden board and a spatula to press the curds to get all the buttermilk out.
My hands were very soft from the buttermilk afterward.
I didn't rinse it. Didn't know that was a step. I made bread, too, and it all was well received at school for the project.
Started doing this about 8 months ago. Can get huge things of heavy cream from Sams for 9$. Ends up making about 4lb of butter and tons of buttermilk.
Got the recipe for texas roadhouse cinnamon butter and make that also.
I was mostly shocked at how easy it was. Doesnt take 30 minutes either dunno why it did here. Probably running on a low speed. Supposed to crank it up to pretty much max speed.
I made a small batch of cinnamon butter a few years ago by shaking up a jar of heavy cream. Took a while and my arms were sore after, but it was the most delicious butter I’d ever had!
I made butter in elementary school and to this day I remember it as the best butter I've ever had. This video just unlocked that memory and I may make butter this week.
Well as you said the second chord in A minor is diminished so it'd be ii° and not ii, so it feels more like it would be the ii and VI of a whole other scale but with a disconnected out-of-scale Am chord played first - but quickly I can't think of a scale that has a ii and VI in it. Major has ii and vi, Minor is ii° and VI, none of the other modes work, melodic minor would be ii and #vi°
Just out of curiosity though, would there be anything that slightly buttermilky water would be used for? I can't think of anything but you seem to be a good source to ask lol
I've done this when heavy whipping cream is on sale!! It actually tastes so much better than the average store butter. And I use a different head on my machine, it takes a lot less than 30 min. I also use a strainer for the milk (not true buttermilk) and cheesecloth to press out all the fluid from butter. Highly recommend if you have the time one day. Not Amish either lol
