Serves: 1 cup butter
Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
  • COOKING TOOLS
  • measuring cup- 1 cup
  • ¼ teaspoon
  • electric mixer (I love our KitchenAid Mixer)
  • -or-
  • food processor
Instructions
  1. Using the whipping attachment, whip 2 cups of heavy cream in the electric mixer (or use the blade attachment in the food processor).
  2. Tip: if using an electric mixer put a towel over the top to avoid splashes.
  3. After a minute or two in the mixer you will have yummy whipped cream.
  4. Keep the mixer whipping on high and you will have homemade butter within about 5-8 more minutes.
  5. The butter will separate leaving a liquid. Don't throw this liquid out! This is buttermilk.
  6. Drain the buttermilk into a jar and then whip the butter with ¼ teaspoon salt to combine.
  7. Your butter is now ready to use just as you would use your favorite store bought butter.
