Why spend money on store-bought butter when you can make it at home with just one simple ingredient? Homemade butter is fresh, natural, and free from unnecessary additives. Plus, it’s cheaper and incredibly easy to make!
What You Need:
- 2 cups of heavy cream (preferably fresh and organic)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- A jar or a mixer
How to Make Butter at Home:
Method 1: Shake It in a Jar
- Pour heavy cream into a clean jar, filling it only halfway.
- Seal the lid tightly and start shaking vigorously.
- After about 10 minutes, the cream will thicken into whipped cream. Keep shaking until it separates into butter and buttermilk.
- Strain out the buttermilk and rinse the butter under cold water to remove any excess liquid.
- Add salt (if desired) and store in a container.
Method 2: Use a Mixer or Blender
- Pour heavy cream into a mixer or blender.
- Blend on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes until it turns into whipped cream.
- Keep blending until the butter separates from the buttermilk.
- Drain and rinse as in the jar method.
