Butter attempt 2
I made a second round of butter today in preparation for Easter dinner. The first time I tried it I felt like my cream was still a little too cold. This time I took the cream out of the fridge about 5 hours before I made the butter. It really made a difference! It gives the cream time to "ripen" a little and increases the acidity. The end product is creamier and has a fuller flavor. I also poured off the initial buttermilk and beat the butter for a little longer in the KitchenAid to get some more of the liquid out. I cut down the time it takes to press it. I can't wait to make spicy butter for corn. It's going to be so good....
