White Butter

Recommended Posts

If butter from a 'health' food store wasn't yellow, I'd be wondering what they added to make it white! I make my own cultured butter from buttermilk and cream and nothing else, and it's always distinctly yellow (gets more so over the next week in the fridge, and the taste also develops. Yum!).

Maybe our cows are just happier.

(Edited because I can't spell 'distinctly')

Is there any chance your friend is referring to beurre blanc? I realize it's from French cuisine and not Indian, but still...that's what the name means...

White butter is what you get after churning cream from Cow's milk. In India, the cow's milk is usually boiled and cooled, a thick layer of cream (called 'Malai') is formed on top which is removed and churned. This separates into buttermilk and white butter. :smile:
