Well done Show them the butter
Welcome to my kitchen
We will show you how to make butter from start
to finish We have fresh
milk I will skim the cream
I have the cream from yesterday's milking that we will also use
We are going to make delicious butter
Then get ready Here we go
Everyone put on their apron
The girls are already wearing their aprons
Butter churns are important
in butter making For
all cooking Actually for all the farm's cooking
Because we get dirty as you can see on my apron
because the whipped cream tends to rise and stick to your clothes
Hello Loi
OK let's go Bring your chair
OK as you can see on this milk this is the cream line
So after 24 hours in the refrigerator the cream rises to the surface
So we will try to skim it off
Milk
Mix it
there Inside
And tomorrow the cream will be even thicker
But since it's quite fresh milk it's still quite liquid
But oh my that's good milk guys
So if I shook this pitcher without
skimming the cream would that be whole milk
It would contain all the fat
But since I'm going to skim the cream it will become skimmed milk
If you leave a little cream you know you'll get 2%
1% that kind of thing depending on how much cream you leave
I know okay that's probably good
We'll just mix the
rest of this cream
And see if everything fits in Yay
Does anyone want milk
Yeah
It's the best time to drink milk straight
from the spoon because there's cream in it
And there it
is So now take your cream
You come to the KitchenAid
We are going to make the butter in the KitchenAid today
Do you want to put this into
place It's like whipping a horse
Push it Okay
Now turn it in
this direction And there it
is Who is pouring the cream
into the KitchenAid
Until the end Yay Well
done Can I
do that Do
you want to
do it Okay
Now let's turn it on
It's when it starts to splash a bit
We need a rag
Let's see
I have a
rag Hey hey Louis
Try Yeah put
it on top
It's so that it doesn't splash all over us
And there it is
Oh a second towel is running
You know just in case
Martha is a thorn in the eye
Oh my God
Let's see What does it
look like It's getting thicker but
it's still splashing a lot The
butter takes about 15 minutes
So we'll stop when we get to the whipped cream to show you this
But I don't think we're there yet
We're getting close Should we show
them what it looks like Wow
we've made a real mess
I really need to learn how to make cooking videos without making so much mess
Well we're almost on the whipped cream but I left the cream at room temperature
So we never get a good whipped cream
It turns directly into butter
But that's the closest thing to whipped cream
See
It's good what do you think girls
They set the KitchenAid to setting 8 that's what we do here
Well yeah okay
We will continue and get some butter
There it is
Now that it's whipped cream we don't need to put it back in place because it splatters less
I might go to 6
Let's set the KitchenAid to 6 not 8
Okay let's take this one
Wash it that's all
This side of the kitchen isn't dirty it's really dirty isn't it
Okay Martha you clean you help me over there okay
Okay let's get going let's clean as we go along
Oh good work Loya help me
We are so well organized here
Let's move a bit
It's a bit
There is a lot here but there's a lot of it
Let's go
One thing to always remember is that when it turns into butter the fat in the butter separates from the buttermilk
So it's going to become really smooth like butter and the milk will splatter
What if you say okay that's fine I'll step away and do something and then it turns into butter while you're gone
Then it will splash all over the butter in your kitchen
So don't leave
You just need to sit here and watch otherwise you'll end up with a low-quality kitchen
According to my experience this happens all the time
In fact we used to strain the butter through a cheesecloth
I saw someone do it at the very beginning
He wanted to take out the butter strain it through a cheesecloth then take the clarified butter separately
But I think the simplest way is to gather all the butter in your hands and rinse it under cold running water
In this way you don't need to dirty separate things or add stamens or anything else
It's just easier to do it that way
Wash Thank you my daughter
I really didn't need to clean here
We are getting closer
I like to lower the temperature at the ends because I see it getting close to the butter
Just because I don't want to lose any butter because of the splashing
So I lower the temperature
I mean if you do it at a low temperature all the time it will take a long time
So I speed up I do it until I get whipped cream then we lower the temperature maybe to 4
Good job You are so smart
Fran has just finished school
How was it Tell them how it was
Well She said she was complaining because her hands were tired
Who cares Mom we're
almost there We're almost there right
Okay Yeah we're coming
This section sometimes takes longer than one might think
We are beginning to see that the butterfat is separating
Do you see how there's fluid in the corner
Oh the girls it's done Look it's turning into butter
We begin to hear it splashing
It's ready we'll just wait a bit longer for the butter to mix in but
It smells What
is this smell Butter Doesn 't
it smell like butter What is its smell
Now we will lower it to 1
It's starting to get mixed up
So generally we make butter every two days with cream
And it's as if it's not liquid gold but it is gold
It's so good Homemade butter is the best
You can make homemade butter with any cream
For example if you buy cream from the store you can make homemade butter
Same procedure It doesn't need to be raw
It doesn't need to be you know your cow's milk
You can also make it with store-bought cream
It won't be as yellow golden and delicious but it's still very good and fun to make
It's just fun to watch the process
I think yippee
Sometimes if you set the speed to a high level and forget
about it you can see how the cream spreads everywhere
Hello Scary Okay I turned it off
Let's unlock it There we go Here it is There's some butter
Oh Okay Now we're just going to remove all that butter
The girls want to do this part
Let's see Okay Go ahead
Girls go wash your hands and you can help me Okay
Two Three Go wash your hands
Okay I just want
Alright We'll just make all the butter into a ball
Mom I've already washed my hands Try to take a little buttermilk
Yeah You can go up Take your chair
Okay We'll just try to remove all the buttermilk from the butter
Should we remove all these small pieces
Maybe the boys have finished or not
The boys have finished No I'm just going down
But I'm not done It's on its way
Okay Do you want to press it once Martha
Okay Press it Try to remove all the butter
Alright We'll rinse the butter under cold water
Try to remove all the remaining whey
Because you can see that when you press it again there is still whey left
There are aggressive assistants here Let's go
That's good
Okay We'll just put it in a bowl
Okay Girls are we ready
Shall we show them the butter Press once more
Alright Okay Law
Martha needs help Thank you
Okay Good job Martha
And that's my number Then we'll just scratch it to make it look
like it's been used and see how we can show them what it looks like
Okay So it's butter We usually don't salt our butter
At home because I feel he doesn't need it
Very delicious Okay So now we're just going to
Wrap it Put it in the refrigerator
Eating
So now what's left for us is buttermilk
There it is Show them the
buttermilk Fresh buttermilk MHM
And you can see that this buttermilk is more liquid than the
traditional buttermilk you'll find in the store But
if I leave it on the counter all night
It will be very thick and
fermented in the morning But I also
like to eat it fresh You can just drink it Oh it's so good
There are tiny bits of butter in it
What do you think Hello It's so good
My grandfather drank fresh buttermilk
And I know why Because it's so good
Fresh buttermilk if you haven't tried it yet
But I'm going to put it in the refrigerator
Then we use it in the pancakes We use it especially for the pancakes
Butter is used in everything we can
So Tulipe our dairy cow usually gives us
About 2 gallons of milk per day
And what you saw today they skim the cream
Usually all the cream is used for the
butter sometimes for the ice cream
Then with the liquid milk I think our family drinks about 1
gallon every 2 days which is 1 and a half days of liquid milk
We consume a lot of milk
Then yogurt also consumes a lot of liquid milk
And the mozzarella like when I make a ball of
mozzarella that ball uses about a gallon of milk
So we use a lot of it when making dairy
products we use a lot of liquid milk
So we consume it It makes sense for us to make our
own butter because we have an abundance of cream
But I think if you bought cream to make butter
in order to save money I don't know if it would
It makes a lot of sense but it's also fun
to do Therefore you should definitely try it
And if you have a dairy cow you should milk
it to make butter because that's the best thing in life
I hope you enjoyed our video on how to make butter
with all the helpful hands and we'll see you next time
Okay
Thank you to everyone
