Why spend your hard-earned money on store-bought butter when you can make it at home? Not only is homemade butter fresh and natural, but it’s also free from unnecessary additives. And the best part? It’s cheaper than buying it from the store and incredibly easy to make!
What You Need
To make your own butter at home, all you need are a few simple ingredients:
- 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 the heavy cream into a clean jar, filling it only halfway.
- Seal the jar tightly and start shaking vigorously.
- After about 10 minutes of shaking, 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 the butter in a container.
Method 2: Use a Mixer or Blender
- Pour the 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 the butter as in the jar method.
