Simple Stand Mixer Butter (small batch)
StephieCanCook @StephieCooks
So, I wanted to try my hand at making butter, but all recipes I was finding called for using a food processor and I don't have one right now.
I found a recipe using a stand mixer on the Epicurious website, but it called for 6 cups cream (and various other ingredients). So I decided to scale it down and simplify it so a) I didn't waste an unnecessary amount of cream if I screwed it up and b) I was adding only what I wanted without all the fancy stuff they thought they needed.
If you increase the quantity of cream I highly suggest their recommendation of enclosing the opening of your mixer with plastic wrap even if you have a splash guard in place. The liquid really splashes out crazy-like. Lol. Just wrap it as best you can around the mixer, bowl, and all. Do this after adding the salt. 😉
There is also an added bonus in making your own butter. You also end up with buttermilk (this is the liquid that separates from the solids). Now, it's not what you're used to seeing in the store, but you can definitely save it for another use.

- 1
Fold cheesecloth over on itself so it is 3 layers thick Place cheesecloth in colander. Place colander over a bowl. Set aside. NOTE: If you have a very large piece of cheesecloth you may be able to cut out the section you'll use and save the rest.
- 2
Place cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the wisk attachment. Whip at high speed until soft peaks form. At that time add salt while mixer is running.
- 3
Continue whipping at high speed until the solids and liquid completely separate, this will take about 10 minutes. Only stop to scrape sides down once or twice if necessary to ensure all cream is incorporated (I did this twice).
- 4
When separation is complete you will know. The liquid will begin to splash out of the bowl. As soon as this happens stop your mixer. You'll see the butter trapped in the wisk and buttermilk pooled in the bottom.
- 5
Tap wisk on bowl to release butter. Pour everything into your prepared cheesecloth. Bring loose ends of cheesecloth together. Twist closed around butter as tightly as possible to squeeze out as much remaining liquid as you can.
- 6
Open up cheesecloth and Tadaa! You now have a ball of butter! Transfer butter to one airtight container and buttermilk to another. Both will keep refrigerated for 1 week. This yields a little under 1 stick of butter.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.

Very Moist Castella Cake Using a Hand Mixer
About 8 years ago, I found a castella recipe and have tried to make it once a week since then. After a long time and many trials, I arrived at the ideal ratio of ingredients.Use eggs at room temperature. Use a metal bowl because it conducts heat better. Whisk the eggs over a bain-marie. Whisk with a hand mixer for 6 minutes at a high speed... It is important to remember these four key points to whisk the eggs. Adjust the baking time and temperature according to the oven you use. For 15 x 15 x 8 cm [5.9 x 5.9 x 3.1 in] square or 18 cm round cake mold. Recipe by Kyasachama

A friend tipped me on the fact that bread is softer and more tasty using cake flour in the dough, so through a process of trial and error, adding 10 g at a time, I came up with this perfect ratio of ingredients.*Measure the ingredients precisely.*The proofing will not go well without enough moisture in the dough, so spray it with water if it is too dry.*I was also uneasy about the results at first, but the stickiness of the dough will eventually even out to a smooth dough.For those who don't have a bread machine, do your best without it.

I wanted to be able to make waffles even when I don't have a lot of time, so I came up with this recipe.It's the second recipe in my waffle series.You should definitely use pearl sugar or waffle sugar, granulated sugar etc. It really enhances the flavor and the crispiness. Just use a generous sprinkling of regular sugar if you don't have any of these special sugars on hand.When they cool down, lightly heat them back up in the toaster-oven and they'll taste good. For 8 waffles. Recipe by mio*.
