Butter

I made butter. Yep. I did. I can't believe that there was so little involved. All you need is cream and salt and a way to turn the cream to butter. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer, but you can use a jar, a hand mixer, or a butter churn. If you have one. Check this out and go do it. So easy. I Can't believe it was that easy.

Butter

1 c. Heavy Whipping Cream

pinch of salt

Mixer or jar with a lid

Put the cream in a bowl, your mixer bowl, or a jar and put the lid on. Mix like you are going to make whipped cream or shake the jar, if that's what you are using. Here's what we are used to...

but here's what we want...

So keep going until that's what you see and then some more til there's not much liquid and mostly butter. Then you grab it up and rinse in ice cold water. This will get the whey off and make it last longer without turning rancid. Put it back in the mixer or in a bowl and add the salt. I do mean a pinch. Maybe even just a sprinkle. I used 1/4 tsp. the first time and it was way too much so I had to make more butter plain to add to it to even it out.

And there's your butter. It's really good. I ate it with homemade bread very quickly. It didn't last long. Don't judge.
