butter

Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream. It is a semi-solid emulsion at room temperature, consisting of approximately 80% butterfat. It is used at room temperature as a spread, melted as a condiment, and used as an ingredient in baking, sauce making, pan frying, and other cooking procedures. It is made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk. Most frequently made from cow's milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks.

    This recipe is inspired by the current CookingBites Recipe Challenge for which the chosen ingredient is lentils. Lentils love salty tastes (think of the well known combo of lentils with ham or bacon). But the earthy flavour of lentils also works with slightly sweet tasting fish and shellfish. So...

    Yogurt and butter from goats milk

    I am able to buy some fresh goats milk from a local shepherd and would love to make my own yogurt, butter and cheese. Has anyone done this before? What kind of equipment do I need? I heard that goats milk has lower fat percentage and it doesn't separate to make cream (and butter), so you would...

    I was looking for a recipe for Pollack Fillets the other day and came across this one. I only had 4 fillets, but I enjoy sauce more than most, so I didn't cut back on the ingredients. I don't know why it had never occurred to me to make a sauce ahead of time to cook them in, but I'll do this...

    Butter or Margarine?

    Margarine or vegetable spread has been improved so much it is very hard to tell the difference between margarine and butter. When cooking a recipe that calls for butter I still use margarine. Do you switch to butter or still use margarine?

    There are a lot of different kinds of cooking oil out there. Some of them evaporate at different temperatures (called a flash point), some of them burn easily or turn into smoke, some clump into solids, some are runny, others still are cloying... some carry on unmistakable flavors into the food...

    Lobster Rolls: Mayo vs Butter

    I had a lobster roll for the first time the other day. They had a hot option, and a cold option, but I chose the cold one since it was hot out, plus it was a tiny bit lower in calories. I wish I had of chosen the buttered hot one to be honest, because while it was tasty, I think the butter would...

    Oil or Butter When Cooking Eggs?

    I love cooking eggs all sorts of ways, and I've almost always used butter to cook them. My grandparents always used to cook their eggs in olive oil instead - which is nice too, I love the smell of it. However when I am making omelettes, I try to get the eggs to set without browning them - which...
