How to Make Butter

There’s nothing like fresh homemade butter, you’re tastebuds will be very pleased 😀. This is so easy all you need is a kitchen aid, or a stand mixer. Not only are you getting butter you are getting buttermilk whats great for baking. There are other ways to make butter like shake in a mason jar lol 😂 this is how I make it.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add the cream to the bowl of a stand mixer. Turn to medium high.
- 2
Continue mixing until the butter separates from the buttermilk, about 3-10 minutes. (pic is of the butter starting and separating from the buttermilk its just about done when it looks like this)
- 3
Drain the buttermilk and refrigerate for later. Use the buttermilk for buttermilk biscuits or pancakes.
- 4
Wash the butter by squeezing and kneading it under running water to release the remaining buttermilk. Keep washing the butter until the water is clear, about 5 minutes.(I use my kitchen aid after I remove the buttermilk I add in cold water and mix them remove water and repeat until water is clear and not cloudy, I find it easier that way)
- 5
Optional: Add salt to taste. Begin by adding 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the butter and mix well. Taste and add more if desired.
- 6
Store the butter in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months.
- 7
This recipe makes about 1 pound of butter and roughly 2 cups of buttermilk.

Notes- I was very skeptical my first time so I used a small container of heavy whipping cream to start with, just to see how it would work and taste then I moved up to more. A splash guard is recommended when the fat starts to separate and you start to get buttermilk it will go all over the place if you don’t have one you can use a hand towel and place over the bowl and mixer also do this as you’re rinsing the butter, it helps.

On the last step be sure you squeeze out all the buttermilk liquid from the butter before putting it in a sealed container.
