Homemade butter recipe in less than 10 minutes

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start with liquid cream that has at least 33% fat content.

Use a very cold bowl and a whisk or pastry maker to begin whisking the cream.

Whisk the cream until it reaches a whipped cream texture, which is smooth and slightly dense.

Continue whisking until the cream starts to separate into butter and buttermilk, indicated by a yellow color and a change in texture.

Once the butter forms, pour off the buttermilk and set it aside.

Wash the butter by pressing it under very cold water to remove excess buttermilk, continuing until the water runs clear.

Optionally, you can save the buttermilk for cooking or baking.

After washing, press the butter to remove any remaining water and shape it as desired.

If making salted butter, add 2-4% salt to the butter and mix well.

To flavor the butter, add optional ingredients like dry shrimp powder, lemon skin, orange skin, algae mix, parsley, garlic, ginger, or powdered mushrooms, and mix thoroughly.

Shape the flavored butter into a log or desired form for presentation.
