Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and cultured buttermilk. Stir gently to mix.
- 2
Churn the Mixture
Pour the mixture into a stand mixer or food processor. Begin to mix at a low speed, gradually increasing to medium. Continue blending until the cream separates into butter and buttermilk, about 10-15 minutes.
- 3
Strain the Butter
Once the butter has formed, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the buttermilk from the butter. Reserve the buttermilk for other uses.
- 4
Wash the Butter
Rinse the butter under cold water to wash away any remaining buttermilk. This will help improve the shelf life of your cultured butter.
- 5
Add Salt
Mix in salt according to your taste. Use a spatula to fold the salt into the butter until evenly distributed.
- 6
Store the Butter
Transfer the cultured butter to an airtight container and refrigerate. Use within 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
