Churning Butter in Your Gainesville Apartment

Churning your own butter from your Gainesville apartment can be a fun activity with edible results. Sure, butter can be purchased at any nearby grocery store, but no butter can match that of the butter you make yourself. It tastes better and is always fresh.

Churning butter in your Gainesville apartment is simple, and the large kitchens in each of our apartments make for a perfect location to complete the process. All you need to do is:

• Allow whole milk to sit unrefrigerated until the cream naturally separates from and rises to the top of the milk
• Scoop out the separated cream, place it in a bowl, and chill for approximately twelve hours
• Use a butter churn to churn the cream until it forms butter
• When butter forms, pour out the excess butter milk to ensure that your butter does not spoil
• Add your desired amount of salt to your butter and mix it in to make your butter just salty enough for your liking
• Place your butter in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use

So, skip the butter the next time you’re grocery shopping and opt to make your own butter instead. If you would like to find out more about our Gainesville apartment community, please give our leasing office a call or stop by any time you like.
