Sweet Cream Butter
Sweet cream butter is churned from fresh, uncultured cream—the everyday salted or unsalted stick of global supermarkets. Flavour is clean and milky rather than tangy; performance in pastry depends on fat percentage, water content, and temperature. Cream soft butter for cakes; keep cold for lamination. European-style sweet cream butters often run higher fat than basic US sticks. Clarifying removes milk solids for high-heat cooking.
