Noté 5.0 étoiles par 1 utilisateurs.
Portion
200g butter
Preparation time
2 hours
This recipe guides you step-by-step through making the butter, washing it in ice water, and seasoning it with white or red miso, depending on the desired intensity. Perfect on warm bread, as a vegetable topping or to enhance grilled fish, this butter combines traditional dairy products with the depth of Japanese flavors.

Ingredients
-
500 ml full-fat cream (minimum 35% fat)
-
1 to 2 tablespoons white or red miso (depending on taste)
-
1 pinch salt (optional)
- Ice water (for butter rinsing)
Instructions
Place the whole cream in the refrigerator for several hours before starting. It must be very cold to rise properly.
Pour the cream into a food processor or large bowl. Start beating at medium speed, then gradually increase to high speed.
First, the cream becomes chantilly (frothy and thick). Keep whipping without stopping, it will eventually become grainy and separate into two phases: a solid yellow mass ( butter) and a white liquid ( buttermilk).
Once the butter has been separated, pour the contents of the bowl into a fine sieve (or a clean tea towel).
Gently squeeze the butter to remove as much liquid as possible.
Recover buttermilk if you wish to use it (for pancakes, marinades, etc.).
Place the butter in a bowl and cover with ice-cold water. Using clean hands or a spatula, gently knead the butter into the water.
Discard the cloudy water, add clean water and repeat 2 or 3 times until the water remains clear.
Drain the butter well and place in a clean bowl.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of miso to taste (white miso is milder and sweeter, red miso is saltier and more intense).Mix with a spatula or by hand until smooth.
Form the miso butter into a small cylinder in cling film, or place in an airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Recipe notes
This butter is ideal for enriching steamed vegetables, grilled corn on the cob, soba noodles, white fish or roasted meats.
Anecdote:
- Did you know that home-made butter is an ancestral practice common to many cultures? Before industrialization, every farm produced its own butter, often beaten by hand in a churn. Today, it can be made simply with an electric mixer and a little patience - a gratifying return to our roots.
- Miso is a 1,300-year-old fermented food and a mainstay of Japanese cuisine. It is made by fermenting soy (sometimes with rice or barley) and kōji (a noble ferment). Each region of Japan has its own variations, and each miso carries a wealth of flavors, traditions and even seasons. Its combination with umami-rich butter creates a surprising alchemy of milky sweetness and fermented depth.
