I don't have one of these machines but I do make my own butter and have
come up with my own recipe. I developed this recipe because my husband
doesn't like sweet cream butter and that's all you can buy now. All you
would need is a handheld mixer for this.
I take one quart of heavy whipping cream, mix in 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup
buttermilk. Mix really well. Let this set out at room temperature for 12-14
hours. That is to make the whipping cream sour(that is the purpose of the
sour cream&buttermilk in it). Then use your mixer to beat until it makes
butter. (first put on medium speed but when you start to see flakes of
butter turn to low speed) This doesn't take very long. When the butter all
comes together then add cold water in the bowl with butter and wash until
the water becomes clear. This process gets all the buttermilk out of the
butter. When you are finished washing it and have gotten all the water out
you can add salt to taste. You can put in small dishes or mold in whatever
you like. I use a plastic butter dish and put it in the top part of dish
(then when cold it will fit perfectly into the bottom of the butter dish).
This makes anywhere from a pound to one and half pounds of butter. This is
really good stuff. Hope you give it a try and enjoy.
Now you know my secret to making good butter.
GOOD LUCK WITH IT.
