Making Homemade Butter

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Let 1 quart of heavy whipping cream come to room temperature before starting.

Pour the room temperature heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl.

Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to whip the cream until it becomes fluffy and resembles whipped cream.

Continue whipping the cream until the mixture starts to separate and you hear splashing sounds, indicating the fat is separating from the buttermilk.

Whip for about 5 minutes until the mixture looks like butter and gathers in the whisk attachment.

Turn off the mixer and remove the solid butter from the whisk attachment.

Run the ball of butter under cold water in the sink, squeezing occasionally to remove excess buttermilk.

If desired, add salt, herbs, or spices to the butter at this stage.

Store the butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
