How to make Cultured Butter
To make whey strain yoghurt or milk kefir through some muslin/cheesecloth/coffee
filter. I use a coffee filter in a plastic funnel placed over a jar to collect the whey.
Add some whey from yoghurt or milk kefir to cream and leave to ferment at room
temperature covered with a cloth. ½ cup whey per 500mls cream would be about
right. When taste is to your liking blend in food processor with a little salt. After some
minutes it will separate into butter and buttermilk. Pour the buttermilk into another
container using a spoon to press buttermilk out. That's it although you can do an extra
step by pouring ice cold water into blender and blending for another 30 secs. Pour off
the water.
If you want to make butter a little softer you can add some olive oil towards the end of
the process.
There are many uses for the buttermilk which is a by-product of this process so make
sure you don’t throw it out.
