Butter Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Whipping the Cream

   Pour the heavy cream into a mixing bowl or stand mixer. Start whipping the cream on medium speed until it thickens and forms soft peaks.

2. 2

   Continue Whipping

   Continue to whip the cream on medium-high speed until it separates into buttermilk and butter. This process may take around 8-10 minutes.

3. 3

   Straining the Buttermilk

   Once the butter has formed, you will notice a yellow solid mass and a liquid (buttermilk). Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the butter from the buttermilk.

4. 4

   Rinsing the Butter

   Rinse the butter under cold water while gently kneading it to remove any remaining buttermilk. This will help to prevent the butter from spoiling.

5. 5

   Salting the Butter

   Transfer the rinsed butter into a bowl and mix in the salt. Adjust the salt to taste if necessary.

6. 6

   Storing the Butter

   Shape the butter into a block or place it in a container. Refrigerate to firm up. It can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks or frozen for extended storage.
