Have You Ever Wondered How Butter Is Made?

It's simpler than you think to make your own delicious homemade butter with this quick and easy recipe. Your family will be so impressed! You can control the salt and the quality of the cream you buy!

Ingredients:

Hand mixer, stand mixer, or food processor

1 cup of heavy cream

Cold water

Salt

Pour cream into a bowl and beat with a mixer (hand mixer, stand mixer, or food processor) on medium for a minute then switch to high speed. Mix until a lump is formed and you see the buttermilk separated from the lump, about 5 minutes.

Once the lump separates, pour in your ice cold water to help the buttermilk separate fully from the butter. Then pour the contents of the entire bowl into a strainer over a new bowl to catch the lumps. The liquid that falls into the bowl is delicious buttermilk and can be stored for cooking or marinading in the fridge.

Pick up the lumps of butter and hold it in your hands. Knead it and squeeze it with your hands to remove any remaining buttermilk as you rinse it two or more times with cold water. You want to make sure all buttermilk is removed or your butter will be wet.

Add salt to taste.

Spread your delicious homemade treat on some fresh muffins or bread😋

Store your butter in refrigerator. Keeps 6 weeks in refrigerator.
