Homemade Butter
Butter is super easy to make, but not everyone knows how to do it. All you need is cream and a few minutes and you are one step away from homemade butter!
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the heavy cream to an electric mixer. Start whipping the cream on low speed until it thickens slightly.
- Gradually increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue to whip for 5-7 minutes, scraping down the sides every now and then. Continue mixing past the whipped cream phase, and you'll see the cream begin to break into butter (fat molecules) and liquid (buttermilk).
- Remove the butter from the mixer (save the buttermilk for use later!) and squeeze out any excess moisture by repeatedly squeezing the butter through your hands.
- Quickly rinse the butter under ice cold water and add salt to taste.
- Store in either an air-tight container or rolled up in parchment paper. Keep it in the fridge and use within 10-14 days.
