Create your own delicious homemade butter with just two ingredients and a few simple steps.
Pour the cold heavy cream into the mixer bowl.
Using cold cream helps the butter form more efficiently.
Attach the paddle to the mixer and whip the cream on high speed.
Listen for the change in the mixer's sound as the butter forms.
Once the solids separate from the liquid, strain the mixture to collect the butter.
Save the liquid (buttermilk) for other recipes like pancakes or biscuits.
Knead the butter under cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk.
This step ensures the butter stays fresh longer.
Mix in the salt to taste and shape the butter as desired.
You can use molds or simply shape it by hand for a rustic look.
Store the butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Homemade butter can be frozen for extended storage.
