How to Make Homemade Butter - Gemma's Bold Baking Basics Ep 19

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Add heavy whipping cream to a food processor.

Turn on the food processor and whip the cream until the fat separates, about 4 minutes.

Pour in a few tablespoons of ice cold water to help separate the buttermilk from the butter.

Turn the food processor back on to combine and separate the buttermilk from the butter.

Pour the mixture into a bowl lined with a sieve to catch the buttermilk.

Squeeze the butter by hand to remove excess buttermilk, or use a clean tea towel or cheesecloth to wring it out.

Sprinkle salt into the butter for flavor, or add other flavors like sugar and orange zest or herbs if desired.

Store the butter in the fridge for up to 8 weeks and the buttermilk for around 2 weeks.
