  • Our previous video on how to make homemade butter ( • Making European Style ... ) generated almost 200 comments from our viewers. Many have suggested that adding the salt into the cream right from the start may eliminate the need of adding salt into the butter once it's made.

    At the stage when you drain the buttermilk from your mixing bowl, leave the butter in the whisk and add the salt. Then whisk it for another minute or two. So much easier.

      In theory, it would make sense but the water in the buttermilk is the real enemy. Normally for this amount of butter, we only add about a teaspoon of salt. Thank you for watching!

    I literally am making butter right now a couple days before Thanksgiving. I've never done it before and I was about to add salt but decided I would check just in case. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. God bless because you just saved the butter! :)

      You are so welcome! Your butter would still turn out okay, it's just the waste of salt as it dissolves in water.

    I've never made butter before, I bought cream today and was wondering when to add the salt, and all the few videos I've watched so far didn't mention salt. So I CZcamsd it and yours is the first video I've watched and I need watch no more apart from your video on how to make the butter. Cheers.

    Have you ever made butter using yogurt instead of cream? I viewed a video on doing this, but have not tried it, yet. Since everything seems to be more expensive at the market these days, I was wondering if yougurt was actually cheaper than the cream I see so often used? 2 tbs. of salt would seems to be a bit excessive to me, but I am not sure or not, myself.

    fabulous video. you knew you were right but you made an entire video instead of just telling them they were wrong....which is impressive. i love salted butter but it's hard to get the salt to dissolve... so i generally melt the salt in boiling water, then slooowly simmer the water until the water evaporates, then introduce it into the butter. even though i love salted butter, i hate the mouth feel of having little salt crystals in butter. i just found you but proudly subscribed.

    • @OrthodoxChristianCookingShow
      @OrthodoxChristianCookingShow  Před 2 lety +1

      We have not try that, but a fine table salt should not be noticeable that much in the butter. We do tend to stick to kosher salt. We are happy you enjoyed the video.

    I kinda like the idea of doing it before because I feel like the flavors will meld a bit more (if you add enough salt) but then your buttermilk isn’t good for much so ultimately I opt not to.

      @OrthodoxChristianCookingShow  Před 3 lety

      For the quart of heavy whipping cream we added a heaping table spoon of salt. You can add as little or as much as you'd like to. Salt extends the shelflife of butter. But it is not neccessary to any any salt.

      Mixing it in while the butter is still soft. You can do it in the mixer once you separate the butter from buttermilk (whey).
