If you're like most people, you probably use butter on a fairly regular basis. Of course there are plenty of great things you can do with butter, but in this project, we're gonna be making it.
如果你像大部分的人一樣，你也許蠻常使用奶油。當然有許多你可以用奶油做的好事，但在這項企劃中，我們要做奶油。
For this project, I picked up a gallon of fresh cow's milk right from the cow. I let this jug sit in the fridge overnight, and here you can see a faint line where the cream is risen to the top. Now if you don't have access to a cow, you'll still be able to do this with a heavy cream or whipping cream like this. We need to separate the cream from the milk. We can use something like a ladle to skim it off, and transfer it to another container like a wide-mouth Mason jar. Let's go ahead and put the lid back on, making sure it's nice and tight.
為了這項企劃，我直接從乳牛那兒取來一加崙的新鮮牛奶。我讓這罐子放置在冰箱一晚，這裡在鮮奶油浮到頂上的地方你可以看到一條模糊的線。現在如果你沒辦法找到乳牛，你還是可以用濃稠鮮奶油或是像這個打發用的鮮奶油來做。我們需要將鮮奶油從牛奶分離出來。我們可以使用像是杓子的東西來撈起它，並把它移到另外一個像是廣口玻璃瓶的容器。往下進行並把蓋子蓋上，確保它蓋得牢牢的。
And at this point, it's time to churn the cream into butter, so start shaking. Now you're gonna have to shake it a lot, and it only takes a few seconds to realize this is gonna be an amazing workout. But if standing around shaking cream isn't your thing, see if you can get a friend to do it for you, or give it to your kids and let them work out some energy. You could even take it with you on your morning jog.
在此時，是時候要把鮮奶油攪拌成奶油了，所以開始搖。現在你得拼命搖，但只要幾秒鐘就會發現這會是一個很棒的健身訓練。但如果站在那搖鮮奶油非你所愛，看看你能否找個朋友幫你做，或是將它交給你的小孩讓他們消耗一些能量。你甚至可以在晨跑時隨身帶著它。
After shaking your cream vigorously for about three minutes, you'll notice that it's transformed into a light and fluffy whipped cream. Now feel free to take a three-minute break. This will actually make the process go a lot smoother, and you're probably gonna need it.
在劇烈地搖晃鮮奶油大約三分鐘以後，你會注意到它變成又輕又鬆軟的打發鮮奶油。現在隨意休息個三分鐘。這其實可以讓過程更加順暢，而且你也許會需要它。
But when you get back to shaking, shake that cream as violently as you can. The harder and faster you shake, the sooner you'll feel the cream break. And when everything starts sloshing around in the jar, you're done.
但當你回頭搖的時候，盡你可能地大力搖那鮮奶油。你搖地越大力越迅速，你就能越快地感受到鮮奶油在分崩離析。當一切開始在罐中四處潑濺時，你就完成了。
This time when you look inside, you'll see a big blob of human-powered homemade butter. The leftover liquid is traditional buttermilk and can be used for baking. My wife used this buttermilk to make a batch of these whole-wheat buttermilk waffles. With the buttermilk drained off, you should be left with a beautiful ball of golden yellow butter.
這次你往裡頭看時，你會看到一大塊人力自製奶油。剩下的液體就是傳統的酪奶，可以用在烘焙上。我老婆用這酪奶做了一批這些全麥酪奶鬆餅。把酪奶瀝掉後，你應該會剩下美麗的一球金黃奶油。
Let's compare the highest rate of butter we found at the store to the butter we just made. Can you see the difference?
來比比我們在店裡找到最高級奶油還有我們剛剛做的奶油。你可以看出差別嗎？
Now if you're like me, you'll probably wanna eat your butter right away, and that's ok. But if you add just a pinch of salt, it'll help it last longer, and make it a little more savory. I mixed in some local organic honey and a few other ingredients to make delicious honey butter, which, by the way, taste incredible on your buttermilk waffles.
現在如果你像我一樣，你也許會想要馬上吃掉你的奶油，那沒關係。但如果你只要加一撮鹽，它會幫助它保存更久，而且能讓它更有一些風味。我加入一些本地有機蜂蜜還有少許其他食材來做出美味的蜂蜜奶油，順道一提，這在你的酪奶鬆餅上嚐起來真是美味啊。
Well, there are few ideas to support a healthier lifestyle by shaking cream into butter. If you like this project, perhaps you'll like some of my others. Check them out at thekingofrandom.com.
