I bought these antique butter parchment papers some time ago for a song. They were so beautiful and I had no plan but they were so cheap that I could not resist. Today I fulfilled a long time dream of making butter. I was gifted some real dairy cream today and could not wait to work with it.
This is my first butter making experience so I do not want to extol the ease of which it is done because, actually, I have not even tasted this yet. I have not stored it. I have not made pastry with it.
But for what it is worth it was easy! I beat my litre of heavy cream until it went beyond the stiff peak stage and began to curdle. Only a few minutes later the curds became butter.
I removed the butter and kneaded it on a cutting board to remove as much water as possible. Then I worked it in painfully ice cold water a while longer.
The result is....butter....tada! These butter papers are so adorable and I wrapped it and refrigerated. I can hardly wait for tomorrow when I will do something with it!
