Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, optional – use if you want to make salted butter

Instructions
 

  • Pour your cream in your stand mixer bowl.
  • In your stand mixer, using the whisk option, turn it on. Gradually, turn your speed up. Before turning it on full speed mode, I suggest placing a kitchen towel (or a splash guard if you have one) over the mixer to prevent splatter.
  • Continue to mix on full speed (about 5 minutes) until the butter has separated from the buttermilk.
  • Using a kitchen towel, or cheese cloth, place your butter in the center. Bringing the sides and ends of your towel or cloth, squeeze the remaining buttermilk from the butter, and back in with the buttermilk. Continue to squeeze until no more buttermilk comes from the butter.
  • Reserve your buttermilk in a sealed jar.
  • Reserve your butter in a sealed jar.

Christina's Notes

  • Splash Guard: Use a towel or splash guard to prevent a mess when mixing.
  • Unsalted Butter: For a healthier option, use less salt.
  • Buttermilk: The leftover buttermilk is not the traditional sour buttermilk that you can buy. If you want to use it in cooking, add some acid, such as lemon juice.
