Making Spreadable Butter in the Thermomix - Quirky Cooking

 

I love being able to make my own butter and butter spreads! Most bought butter spreads have additives, preservatives and colours in them, and often contain vegetable oils. By using a good quality pure cream to make your own butter, then adding a good quality oil, you can have a delicious butter spread that’s free from all the ‘nasties’ at a fraction of the cost. You’ll get the best savings by buying your cream in bulk. We buy cream in 2 litre bottles from our local biodynamic dairy, and you can often find 2 litre bottles of pure cream in the supermarket also.

With the Thermomix, making butter is a cinch. It usually takes about a minute, maybe two, to change from pure cream into butter and buttermilk. It costs less than buying pre-made butter, and if you make it into a butter spread (adding oil and water and whipping it up), it costs even less! I think most people now know that margarine is not a healthy choice, so this is a good alternative to margarine if you’re wanting something that is spreadable from the fridge. 

This spread works well in most recipes that call for butter – cakes, biscuits, scones, breads… My mum uses extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil in hers, but some people find the taste too strong. I usually use macadamia oil or high-oleic, organic, cold-pressed sunflower oil. 

Here’s how I make my butter spread in the Thermomix:

Note: You can find fine sea salt for this recipe in my online store here!

Ingredients
  1. 600g pure cream
  2. macadamia oil, olive oil, or high-oleic cold-pressed sunflower oil
  3. filtered water
  4. sea salt/himalayan salt (opt.)
Instructions
  1. Insert the butterfly and measure in the cream.
  2. Whip on speed 4 until it separates into butter and buttermilk. It will start to bump around, so stay near your machine and turn it off after a couple of seconds of 'bumping'. It usually takes only a minute or two, but I have had older cream take up to 5 minutes.
  3. Strain the buttermilk by pouring it through the strainer/rice basket into a bowl. Squeeze the butter well with the spatula (against the side of the bowl) to get out as much of the buttermilk as you can. The buttermilk is lovely to bake with in scones, breads, cakes and pancakes (if you can have dairy), so don't throw it out!
  4. Remove the butterfly from the bowl and pour about 500g icy cold water over the butter. Mix it on speed 4 for a few seconds to rinse it. Strain the water off into the sink, pressing the butter against the side of the bowl with the spatula and pouring through the strainer/rice basket again. The butter needs to be rinsed twice, or until the water is clear (see below). If you leave any buttermilk in the butter, it will turn sour more quickly.
  5. Give the butter a good squeeze to get rid of any remaining water. This can be done with the spatula, squeezing the butter against the side of the bowl; or you can wrap a piece of muslin around the butter and squeeze it; or you can just use your hands.
  6. Now make sure the bowl is empty, and weigh the butter back in so you know how much you have. Then add in that much oil and water.
  7. Eg: If you end up with 300g of butter, add 300g of oil and 300g of water. Also add a little salt if you like. I add a bit less than a teaspoon of salt to this amount of butter, oil and water.
  8. Insert the butterfly, and whip the butter, oil, water and salt on speed 4 for about 20 seconds, or until well combined. Pour into a container (preferably glass) and keep in the fridge.

    just made the spreadable butter yesterday. As I’ve only had my machine for two days, I bought Dairy Farmers Pure Cream from supermarket as I was keen to try this recipe. It worked exactly as the recipe described. After reading all the other comments I also used 2:1:1 ratio as I thought it best to err on the side of caution and I have to say am really impressed by the results. Thank you so much. Just as a side note, I am struggling a little with the flavours of the oils I have used – not just in this recipe but also in mayonnaise. I used a light olive oil and also tried grape seed oil. I’m not sure if I’m just so used to the taste of the bought products I’ve used over the years or if there are better oils to try. Any tips or suggestions will be happily accepted.

    Hi Jo, My sister in law would love to make this but doesn’t have a thermomix. She has a food processor and a barmix which they can whip with. Do you have any suggestions as to how she could make it with these if it is at all possible? Thanks!!

    Hi Jo I just wondered if you had tried adding kefir grains or probiotic powder to your cream to culture it for 12-24 hours prior to making your butter?
    I love your idea of making the butter into a spread can’t wait to try it along with dozens of your other recipes!

    Thanks Jo, made this for the first time today, it turned out really well!. I also went with the 2.1.1 theory and so far so good. Is it possible to double the recipe (as a time saver,) or just keep making it in batches of 600g cream?

    Reply
    • QuirkyJo says:

      I think you’re not supposed to whip more than 600g cream at a time, so best to stick to recipe. Glad you liked it! 🙂

        Sorry but reading the instructions & comments, I’m missing 2:1:1 theory… is it at the end, the weight of butter eg 300gm & then 150 oil & 150 water ??

      4 years ago

      2 parts butter (eg. 200g), 1 part oil (eg. 100g) and 1 part water (another 100g) – it depends how much butter you have once you make it, so start there then work out the amounts with the ratio!

    I whipped the cream (exactly 600g) in my thermomix for ages. – more than 15 mins but all I got was whipped cream. It would not seperate. 🙁 I left it for an hour and tried again, but still no luck. What did I do wrong?

      Hi Lis. Was your cream without any stabilisers in it? Stabilisers do stop it from separating. Hopefully better luck next time! Good luck

    Hi,

    Just wanting to clarify – the recipe above uses a 1:1:1 ratio but the comments all talk about a 2:1:1 ratio. Which is the right ratio?

    Thanks!

    Reply
    • QuirkyJo says:
      4 years ago

      Hi Jennifer! What ratio you use is totally up to you…the recipe is written at a 1:1:1 ratio but some people have done a 2:1:1 ratio and prefer that possibly because there is more of a buttery taste, and less of an oil taste depending on what kind of oil they used. 🙂

    I made this for the second time. First time I did 2:1:1 and this time I forgot and just followed the recipe and I feel like the 1:1:1 ratio has made my butter too runny. It’s almost as runny as cream. Please does anyone know how to fix this?

      Yes, but I’d recommend avoiding it as it’s a highly processed oil. Better to go for organic, cold-pressed, high oleic sunflower oil if you want a bland tasting oil for this. 🙂

    I have been making the quirky cooking butter very successfully for quite awhile, but today it didn’t work out! The butter didn’t fully seperate from buttermilk. After beating for 7 mins, it was very runny & not seperate from buttermilk. I have used the same brand of whipping cream, & same method as in recipe. The whipping cream I used today was one week from reaching use by date, so, Why did this happen?

    Reply
    • QuirkyJo says:
      3 years ago

      Sometimes this happens but I’m not sure why, maybe check if your cream was pure cream. (No stabilisers) Was it well chilled? Don’t throw it out, put it in the fridge and it might seperate or you can use it as is.

      Oh no! What type of cream did you use? Check back with step 1 – did the butter and buttermilk separate before you added the other ingredients?

Today’s podcast is with David Westbrook @dave_westbrook_, a farming and business coach at @farmownersacademy, and we’re chatting about working smarter, not harder!

[Swipe left to see my most recent podcasts!]

In our frantically busy society, it's easy to get caught up in the "busyness equals success" trap. In this podcast, David shares his insights on how to stop glorifying "busy" and transition to working in a way that aligns with your values, and working smarter rather than harder. He gives plenty of down-to-earth, practical advice that will benefit your daily life, whether you're a farmer, a business person, a busy mum trying to keep up with all the cooking and organising for the family, or a teenager working on keeping up with school assignments!

We chat about:
- how a health crisis in David's family led him to regenerative farming
- how he changed the way he worked so he could focus more on health and family life
- top tips for time management
- slowing down to speed up, and working smarter not harder
- making a 'stop doing' list
- the 'brick theory' (also known as the 'brain dump')
- the 'traffic light theory' for prioritising tasks
- setting goals & creating your ideal week
- making a 'default diary'
- the power of your thoughts
- harnessing your dreams to change your life

Follow David at @dave_westbrook_ and also the @farmownersacademy for podcasts and tips that will inspire you to work smarter not harder! ✨

But baby, I’m back!! 😍 Tune in on Fridays!

I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this delicious potato bake I shared in my stories on Monday - another amazing creation by my sister Joye. 😍 The lemon zest is a genius addition! So here it is, in her own words… she took a quick break from her gardening to write this down for us!! 😁🤗

✨Potato Bake✨

Equal amounts potato and sweet potato, peeled, sliced thinly, parboiled.
(I used 3 sweet and 3 regular)

Butter baking dish, layer potatoes.

Sauce:
1 cup cream
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt 
1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion flakes
Zest of a lemon
Sprinkling of thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix together and pour over potatoes. Cover with grated cheese, bake etc

You'd have to adjust liquid amounts, so that it doesn't just coat it. It's got to be sitting in a puddle of it, so to speak.
————————————————

Yep, she’d rather be cooking or gardening than writing recipes 😄 so I’ll add some more details below in case you need it…

- If you don’t cope well with lactose, you could swap the cream for 24 hour sour cream and yoghurt*, or make cashew milk and use that without straining out the pulp so it slightly thickens, plus a little coconut yoghurt if you like. 

(*24 hour fermenting results in an almost completely lactose-free yoghurt/sour cream - tap on the link in my profile then on this photo for my 24 hour yoghurt and sour cream recipes and info). 

- Use as much cheese as you like, or leave it out if you’re dairy free. For dairy free, you could add a little non-fortified savoury yeast flakes to the sauce for a cheesy flavour - about two teaspoons.

- We used a 26x18cm dish.

- Oven temp was 180C (fan-forced) and it baked for about 30 mins (just until lightly browned).

Easy peasy! Enjoy 🤗🤗

I’ve put my order in for a coffee table because the Qld maple is so beautiful! (What do you think, Quirky coffee tables next? 😂)

If you’ve never tried pumpkin pie before, you need to!! I love how such basic ingredients like pumpkin, honey, coconut cream, egg yolks, butter, spices and almond meal can be transformed into a creamy, spicy, comfort-food treat the whole family loves! (Especially when it’s served with a dollop of cream or ice cream… 😁) You can find a few different ice cream recipes in my cookbooks, but we had a “treat day” and served it with ice cream from our local, organic dairy, @mungallicreek. ☺️

This Pumpkin Pie recipe is in my “Simple, Healing Food” cookbook, and in “A Taster” eBook. ❤️ The recipe is gluten free, grain free and free from refined sugars and starches, and there are instructions for equally delicious nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free variations. 

I hope you love it! 🤗

I had visitors this morning, and half an hour befo I had visitors this morning, and half an hour before they arrived I was desperately trying to find something for morning tea 🤔! I had no treats in the freezer, no blanched almond meal left, the pâté was frozen solid… I did have some whole almond flour and some raw cashews though, so I made a half batch of my Almond Meal Pastry using a mixture of milled cashews and whole almond flour. I pressed the pastry into muffin cups and baked for 10 mins or so at 180C, while making the lemon butter. While the pastry cooled, I chilled the lemon butter in the freezer, then filled the tart shells and topped with whipped cream. My friend Gabi (who grows and dries the freeze-dried raspberries and fruit you’ll see in my online store) brought some of her freeze-dried butterfly pea flowers for me to play with, so I sprinkled some over the whipped cream… Voila! An amazing morning tea without too much effort! Sooo delicious. I think I need to get these butterfly pea flowers in my store, don’t you?!! 😍

You can find the Almond Meal Pastry recipe in my cookbooks and also on the blog (the Chicken Pot Pies recipe); and the Lemon Butter is also on my blog. Another delicious variation is the Passionfruit Butter Tarts in my Simple, Healing Food cookbook! 😍
