🔗Butter. The usual natural, namely CREAM butter. Without something superfluous and unnecessary.
It was not easy. ... No, don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining. It's just, it was ... really hard. Once in my childhood I saw how my grandmother, the kingdom of heaven to her, makes butter. But, firstly, I saw it completely indirectly, vaguely, if you like (I really didn’t need it) and, secondly,… secondly, details are very important in the preparation of something tasty. But they, these details, in particular, I just, in general - it's bad when you don't know, but you also forget ... !!!
Having rummaged in recipes and sources, it became clear that an approximate cooking algorithm was not at all clear. That is, the technological chain has developed, but the little things and details ... alas ... alas ....
But! Freckle ...
🔗... he "knows very little" his job and diligently performs it. Walking in the fresh grass and the spring sun ...
🔗... receiving positive emotions from communication with the younger generation, albeit small, but also milk-bearing and horned ...
🔗... and ... "for what purpose are you interested here, comrade? ..." paying attention to the hornless, although with pleasure milk-drinking neighbors ...
🔗… Three times a day it regularly delivers delicious milk of the highest quality. And it gives out well, I must say.
A cow was born and grew up on a farm, where they were milked exclusively with milking machines, so I had to acquire such a miracle of technology.
🔗Milking machine, if anyone does not know. We'll talk about him in more detail later.
Until then ... aren't we talking about butter? So….?
So, if butter is butter, then, given that it is the 21st century and, whatever one may say, progress is also present, it was decided to extract the cream using a separator. And do not remove them from the settled milk. And one more point plays a role here. We set ourselves the goal of getting sweet cream butter, so to speak. Therefore, cream is needed not sour, or sour, but sweet. Did you explain it confusingly? Well, I'm sorry. As I could.
That is why the fantastic miracle of the MotorSich company was used ... the separator in general.
🔗How does he work? With such a noise, whistle and vibration that you have to hold it. Especially when the milk level in the receiving tank drops and the machine, so to speak, no longer feels pressure from above. Then this very tank has to be pressed against the drive.
Since the milk was collected for two days and it naturally stood in the refrigerator, following the recommendations of separation technologies, they warmed it up. Not much. Up to a maximum of forty degrees.
🔗Then milk is poured into the upper tank of the separator, the machine starts up, spins up (the gyroscope is straightforward) and the milk supply valve opens to the inside of the device. And immediately the return flows from the left tap. Or, more simply, skim milk.
From the right one a little later and in a much thinner trickle cream flows out. Taste, I will report to you, extraordinary…. After all, a natural product is not some nistle cream for coffee. Ugh, God forgive me.
🔗Then, the cream was put into the refrigerator. For ripening. For the night.
In the morning, on the contrary, I warmed them up. In hot water up to temperature, as I liked the subtracted in one source "... summer river water ...".
🔗And then the churn was applied. Also, you know, a miracle of technology. I will say a few words about her later.
🔗It consists of three components. Capacity for churning, drive and pulley with propeller, impeller, that is.
🔗The cream is poured into the container, the drive with the propeller is put on top of this.
🔗And the unit turns on in electricity. And he starts to buzz and spin at a terrible speed on the table. You have to hold on.
In the old sources, where we are talking about churns, they say about the speed of rotation of the drum at sixty - seventy rpm, this one ... gives all one and a half thousand. And it does not rotate the drum, but pounds the cream with this metal propeller. In general, it works according to the Chukhonsky principle. So the conclusion is simple - you need to look for a craftsman to make an authentic unit.
After ... I pounded for fifteen minutes or a little more, we have this picture.
🔗That is, reading the sources, I realized that a certain lump of butter and buttermilk would form. Immediately, as can be seen, a thick homogeneous mixture was formed. A sort of sour cream. The truth is very tasty and aromatic.
The next half hour of knocking and spinning the unit so that the mass somehow fell under the propeller of this very one did not give much result. This sour cream only became more homogeneous. There was no hint of any separation between butter and buttermilk.
🔗Another fifteen minutes ... something like buttermilk appeared.
🔗It was decided to stop mocking the product. I put it in trays. I decided that I would stand in the refrigerator - it would thicken. Because the taste, of course, was amazing. Delicate and creamy sweet.
🔗BUT!!! Matter of chance. We treated one very good and kind person with milk and butter. So he showed and told how to continue the process. Clearly.
And it should be like this.
You will need very cold, icy water.
🔗Our sour cream (as it turned out, this is the very desired butter), after standing in the refrigerator for a while, it really got lumpy and crumbled under the spoon into lumps - grains.
🔗We fill it with this very ice water.
🔗And, stirring, rinse thoroughly. The water becomes cloudy almost instantly.
🔗Then we fold it back onto a strainer, squeeze it out a little.
🔗And we repeat the process at least three more times.
🔗It is necessary to let the rinsing water drain well, which will take with it the remnants of this very buttermilk and all sorts of unnecessary sourness and other impurities. And put the resulting lumps on a canvas.
🔗And wring it out thoroughly. To remove any remaining moisture.
🔗Here it is ... real CREAM BUTTER !!!
🔗Got it !!!
🔗 🔗And we will shape in a tray…. You can, of course, not be molded, it is still more convenient to store and transport in trays.
🔗Here it is ...
🔗White. Clean. Fragrant. Delicate creamy taste. Sweet. Moderately fatty.
🔗Just like that ... with white fresh bread. With sweet tea or, even better, with fresh milk ... !!!
🔗Angela to you at the meal !!!
