• Canister with airtight lid

Method of preparation:

1. To start preparing your homemade cream, place a pan on the heat and mix these two items: the milk with the butter.
2. It is essential that it is whole milk, this is the only way it will have a sufficient percentage of fat, which is essential for you to achieve a thicker cream with a very tasty result.
3. Then, continue stirring these ingredients that are on the fire without stopping, using a spatula for this, or a whisk/wooden spoon, until the butter is completely melted.
4. Your heat must be at medium temperature, because the milk cannot boil. In fact, this is one of the tricks of this recipe for this type of cream, what must be ensured is that when melting butter it can be incorporated into the milk.
5. So, the butter doesn't need to have a specific temperature so it doesn't influence anything, whether you can use it cold or not.
6. Once the butter has melted, turn off the heat and let the mixture rest for at least 15 minutes.
7. After time, you will notice that the dough takes on a slight creaminess, reaching the texture we expect. And this creamy texture of the recipe occurs precisely due to the adequate amount of fat that goes into the butter.
