Butter Recipe

Making the Butter

1. 1

   Whipping the Cream

   Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Start mixing on medium speed.

2. 2

   Churning

   Continue mixing until the cream thickens and eventually starts to separate into butter and buttermilk. This can take about 10-15 minutes.

3. 3

   Draining the Buttermilk

   Once the butter has formed, pour off the buttermilk into a separate bowl. You can save this for other recipes.

4. 4

   Rinsing the Butter

   Place the butter in a bowl and rinse it under cold water, using your hands to knead it gently. This helps remove any remaining buttermilk.

5. 5

   Salting (Optional)

   If you prefer salted butter, add 1 tsp of salt to the butter and mix well to combine.

6. 6

   Storing the Butter

   Transfer the butter to an airtight container and refrigerate. Homemade butter can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
