Yes! You Can Eat Butter
And you can make it yourself.
My friend Sabin sounded panicked. “The store is out of butter,” he cried into the phone.
“Calm down,” I replied. “Is there cream?”
“Yes!” he exclaimed. “But how’s that going to help?”
I explained that butter is merely cream and salt and suggested he make butter.
The next day, I stood in Sabin’s enormous well-appointed kitchen. He has every possible high-end gadget and accouterment for which a cook could wish.
He doesn’t cook.
I dusted off his professional-grade Kitchen-Aid mixer and took it for its inaugural spin as I proceeded to show him how to turn cream into butter.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, you’ve no doubt stood, dumbfounded, in the aisle of a grocery store and thought, “How can they be out of (insert the desired item here).” But don’t fret.
I may not be able to teach you how to make toilet paper at home, but there are many items you can make from scratch. And chances are they will be better and cheaper than the packaged version you’re used to buying.
Case in point: Delicious, creamy, salty butter. And by the way, butter is healthy and nutritious.
