wikiHow Cream from Milk Recipe Ingredients: * 2 cups whole milk * 1/3 cup unsalted butter Instructions: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a temperature of 180°F (82°C). Add the unsalted butter to the heated milk, stirring constantly until the butter has melted and the mixture has fully combined. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a bowl or a measuring cup. Cover the bowl or measuring cup with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for several hours or overnight. After a few hours, you will notice that the cream has separated from the milk and risen to the top of the bowl or measuring cup. Skim off the cream with a spoon and transfer it to a clean container. Store the cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Note: This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of cream. If you need more, you can double or triple the recipe. Also, the cream will thicken and become more solid when refrigerated. Simply let it come to room temperature or warm it up slightly before using it in your recipe. Page
