Every morning our whole house smells of parathas. There's nothing quite like these. Once you are used to having parathas for breakfast or snacks, other foods seem so ordinary and tasteless compared to these.

One thing that makes parathas simply to die for is butter. Home made butter is great too!

Here's how to make butter:

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 quart glass canning jar with lid, very clean.
• 1 pint heavy cream (also called heavy whipping cream)
• 1/2 pint 1/2 and 1/2 or extra heavy cream
• non iodized table salt
• bowl
• piece of cheesecloth
• plate

Step1

Allow the cream to come to cool room temperature. Very warm cream will not make good butter, neither will very cold liquid.

Step2

Pour both creams (liquids) into slightly cool jars and screw the lid on tight.

Step3

Now shake the jar up and down, around, back and forth, tilted. Keep the cream working together.
It will take a little while, about 45 minutes or more depending on the fat content of the liquid and how cool it stays.
Keep the fluid moving at all times. If you get tired hand it off to another person.

Step4

As the fat globules begin to pound together and bang into one another and create bigger fat globules, there is a liquid that is forced out. This is called whey.

Open the jar and pour this out. Kittens, puppies can drink this.

Step5

Keep shaking the jar and removing the whey. Soon there will be a soft mass forming at the bottom.
You can sprinkle a bit of salt into the mass and shake some more. Keep removing the whey.
Keep shaking until it forms a solid that will bang against the jar like a ball.
When you get to this stage take apiece of cheese cloth and pull it tight over a bowl. Dump out the butter onto that cheesecloth and allow the rest of the liquid to drain away.

Step6

On a plate place the butter and sprinkle with some salt. Mix the salt in and then you may chill for about two hours to make it form or hold shape in a mold. Its ready to eat and use immediately after mixing in salt.
