WHIPPED BUTTER
Iets wat ek laas week die eerste keer van gehoor het is Whipped Butter. ‘n Vriendin is op die oomblik in Amerika en het dit daar op haar “pancakes” vir ontbyt gehad. Sy was gaande daaroor. Hierdie metode hier onder kom uit seriouseats.
Do you crave the creamy whipped butter they serve at your local steak house? It’s very easy to make at home and enjoy on all of your homemade breads and warm dinner rolls.
The recipe for homemade whipped butter could not be easier. All you need is a stick of butter and a little milk or water. Within six minutes, you will have delicious and creamy butter that spreads easily over any bread. You can even add flavor and customize the taste to a particular bread your baking.
What You’ll Need
1 stick (1/4 pound or 1/2 cup) butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk or water
How to Make It
1. After butter has softened to room temperature, put it in small mixing bowl.
2. Add either milk or water.
3. Whip with a mixer on low speed for 1-2 minutes.
4. Mix on high speed for 2-4 minutes until the butter is light and creamy.
5. Store in the refrigerator when not in use.
More Tips for Making Whipped Butter
It’s true that making your own whipped butter is easy, but a few tips will help you along the way.
Make sure that your butter is softened. Ideally, it should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you begin whipping it. This makes the task much easier because the butter will not get caught in the beaters and it will combine much quicker with the liquid.
Milk will make a creamier whipped butter and would be the preferred option. Don’t run to the store if you’re out, though, water will do just fine.
Whipped butter should be stored in the refrigerator in a plastic container with a good lid. Recycling an old butter tub is not a bad idea as long as it’s clean.
The whipped butter is stable and should be good for up to 10 days though it will get a little harder the longer it sets.
