While there are many different types of butters available at Prahran Market, there’s something very satisfying about making your own at home. We’ve managed to find a pretty great recipe that requires just two ingredients; pouring cream and sea salt. It’ll only take around 20 minutes to make and you’ll be left with deliciously creamy butter to enjoy for about a week. Go on, give it a go!
Ingredients
600ml pouring cream
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
Method
1. Process 600ml chilled pouring cream into a food processor. Mix for three minutes or until mixture turns hard and the thin liquid of buttermilk forms. This can take up to 10 minutes.
2. Drain the mixture using a sieve. Keep the buttermilk aside to use for baking if desired.
3. Rinse the butter in iced water to remove any excess buttermilk.
4. Press the butter into a container, and press in the sea salt. Then cover and chill in the fridge.
It should keep for approx. seven days.
