How To Make

Homemade Butter

Malai (milk cream) is the key ingredient for making butter at home. 

Ingredients

Collect malai (cream) from boiled milk for 10 days. Add a spoonful of curd and store it in the refrigerator.

Step 1

Do not store malai for more than 7 - 10 days as it will start tasting bitter and will develop a foul smell. 

EXPERT TIP

Transfer malai to a mixing bowl. Start whisking it using a hand mixer. The cream will start to thicken and you will get whipped cream with smooth peaks. This is STAGE 1.

Step 2

Continue to whip the cream. The texture of the cream will now turn grainy or granules will form. This is STAGE 2.

Step 3

Keep whipping the cream at high speed –  you’ll see some liquid (buttermilk) separating from the cream. This is STAGE 3.

Step 4

Continue to whisk until the tiny lumps of butter are clearly separated. Add 2 cups of ice-cold water. 

Step 5

Once butter starts solidifying try to form a ball of butter with your hands.

Step 6

Transfer the homemade butter to another bowl filled with clean ice cold water. 

Step 7

Strain all the liquid (buttermilk) using a muslin cloth or strainer. Use it for cooking or drinking.
