Make Your Own Butter at Home

Ingredients:

• Heavy Cream: 2 cups
• Salt (optional): 1/4 teaspoon

Equipment:

• Mixer or Blender
• Cheesecloth
• Bowl
• Spatula

Instructions :

1. Pour Cream into Mixer: Place the heavy cream into your mixer or blender.
2. Whip the Cream: Start on a medium speed, gradually increasing to high. Continue until the cream separates into butter and buttermilk (about 10 minutes).
3. Drain the Buttermilk: Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth to separate the buttermilk from the butter.
4. Wash the Butter: Rinse the butter under cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk.
5. Knead and Salt: Knead the butter with a spatula to remove excess water. Add salt if desired.

Tips for Perfect Butter

• Use high-quality, fresh cream for the best results.
