Homemade Butter
makes about 1 cup of butter
time: 15 minutes
1. Add cream to bowl of stand mixer
2. Whip on medium high until solids and liquids begin to separate. Increase speed to high
3. Once fully separated, strain contents of mixer through a strainer into another bowl. Save the liquid (buttermilk) for later use. Knead together ball of butter, squeezing out excess liquid
4. Use cold water to rinse off the butter. When water gets dirty, dump and repeat this step until water is clear
5. Press out excess liquid with spatula. If using salt, this is the time to knead it into the butter
6. Move butter to container with lid and save in fridge up to a week. The better step 5 was performed, the longer the butter will keep
7. Enjoy!
