Description
Learn how to make creamy and delicious homemade butter using just milk and a few simple steps!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- Salt to taste
- Ice water
Instructions
- Pour the heavy cream into a mixing bowl or a stand mixer.
- Using a whisk or mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until it thickens and forms stiff peaks.
- Continue mixing until the cream starts to separate into butter and buttermilk. You’ll notice the butter clumping together.
- Once the butter forms, pour off the buttermilk and save it for another use.
- Place the butter in a bowl and rinse it under cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk. This helps the butter stay fresh longer.
- Knead the butter with a spatula or your hands to remove excess water.
- Add salt to taste if desired, and mix well.
- Store the butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use high-quality heavy cream for the best flavor.
- You can experiment with different flavors by adding herbs or spices to the butter.
- Make sure to rinse the butter thoroughly to avoid spoilage.
