Homemade Butter

Cultural Context

Butter has been a staple in American kitchens, often made at home for its freshness and flavor. Traditionally, it was churned by hand, a practice that connects families to their culinary heritage. Today, homemade butter is celebrated for its rich taste and the satisfaction of creating something from scratch, often flavored with herbs or spices for a personal touch.

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Chill your mixing bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

2

Pour 4 cups of cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl.

3

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the cream.

4

Using a hand mixer, mix on medium speed until the cream thickens.

5

Continue mixing until the cream separates into yellow solid (butter) and a milky liquid (buttermilk).

6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent splattering and continue mixing until the butter separates from the buttermilk.

7

Carefully strain off the buttermilk into a bowl.

8

Squeeze out all the buttermilk from the butter and rinse it with cold water until the water runs out clear.

9

Shape the butter or store it in an airtight container.
