HOMEMADE BUTTER RECIPE

Hi guys....... Sorry for not posting recipes regularly. I Was busy in my cousin's wedding and had a wonderful time with family.now back to blogging. Today I'm going to share homemade butter recipe. This is a requested recipe by viewers. You can use this butter in cakes and cookies. But I don't suggest to make buttercream frosting and puff pastry. I always use homemade butter to make ghee, which I'm going to share in my next post.

       I always collect cream/malai from chilled milk and freeze it.I collect it for 10 to 15 days and blend it in a blender for few minutes.that's it my butter will be ready. If you can't find full fat milk,then you can use storebought cream.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.

Now can observe a thick layer of cream on top. Collect the thick layer of cream in bowl and freeze it.

Repeat the same process until you get 2 to 3 cups of cream/malai.(don't forget to freeze cream)

Now, when all cream is collected, bring frozen cream to room temperature.

Now take cream in a blender jar and blend it for few minutes until mixture turns smooth.
