Looking for A CANN BUTTER RECIPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS. IF YOU GOT ONE, CAN OU PLEASE PASS IT ON

Well, the recipe I use is as simple as it gets:
Cooking time: max 2 hours
Ingredients:

• 250g of butter (80% or more of fat)
• 10g to 15g of flower (adjust based on potency and desired potency)

Now, cannabutter cooking has two parts, decarbing and slow simmer. Normally, your raw cannabis is non-psychoactive, decarboxylation is the process of removing a carboxyl group from the THC-A compound and transforming it into THC, which is the goody stuff that makes us all high. Some people call it "activation". The slow simmer part is also, without using cannabis, a basic recipe how to create Ghee, or clarified butter, it has much longer shelf life than regular butter and is better for cooking, as it has much higher smoking point than unclarified butter, anyways:

A) For decarbing:
1. Set your oven to 115°C
2. Put baking paper on baking tray
3. Grind flower into coarse grind, empty onto the tray, spread around evenly
4. Bake for 30-40 minutes until medium brown, I recommend checking every 10 minutes
5. Leave to cool down

B) Cooking the cannabutter:
1. Melt butter on low heat, small/medium saucepan works best
2. Add the decarbed grounded bud into the melted butter
3. Simmer on low heat for 45 minutes, stir frequently, there should be small bubbles
4. After simmering, strain the melted butter into good container, I recommend metal strainer
5. You can use spoon to press the remaining weed in the strainer to kinda squeeze the last melted butter out.

And you're done! Happy cooking!

Butter has to have at least 80% fat to even be considered butter, even according to US federal standards,

US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service, Dairy Division, the United States Standards for Grades of Butter

"§ 58.2621 Butter: ...and containing not less than 80 percent by weight of milkfat..."

Thanks for the help. Would this be enough to make a box of good brownies

Just a tip: go with coconut butter. It has way more saturated fat than normal butter.

It's exactly what I need to make a baking tray full of delicious chocolate brownies, and then I'm high for days :smoking:

when I make cannabutter I usually mix it with water(not always, last time we did au bain mary, because we didn't have enough time to seperate the butter from the water before making the pie, so we couldn't use that method)

since fat floats to the surface of water, you can just let it sit for a day in the fridge, and the butter will apear as a solid layer on top of the water, so you can just scoop it off.

I always use trim(since I find using smokablebuds for edibles a waste when I have trim available), I never use exact amount but usually I do something like 2-3 handfulls of trim for a stick of butter.

I start with about a third more butter then I want to end up with, to account for losses during the process(butter that sticks to the plant material, or the cloth used to filter, etc).

btw, I've never decarbed specifically, but I do simmer my butter for quiet a while(shortest I ever did was something like an hour, but if I have the time I try to go longer). and I usually use something like an old t-shirt to filter, good mesgsize to block all plant material and you can squeeze it easily too(although it can be a bit hot while squeezing, so best to do it next to a running tap with cold water, so you can cool off your hands after every squeeze)
