Stop Buying Butter ~ Make Homemade Butter in Just 5 Minutes!
Once you try this, store-bought butter just won’t taste the same!
Why You’ll Love It:
Fresh, creamy, and made with just ONE ingredient—this homemade butter is not only quick and easy, but it also tastes incredibly rich and natural. Perfect for spreading, cooking, or even gifting!
Ingredients:
- Heavy whipping cream (full-fat, cold) – 2 cups
- Salt (optional, to taste)
- Ice water – for rinsing
Instructions:
- Pour the cold heavy cream into a stand mixer, food processor, or use a hand mixer.
- Beat on medium-high. First, it turns into whipped cream—keep going!
- After about 3–5 minutes, it will suddenly break into butter solids and buttermilk.
- Pour off the buttermilk (save it for pancakes or baking!).
- Scoop out the butter and knead it under cold water to remove remaining buttermilk.
- Add salt if you like, and mix it in.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week—or freeze it for longer!
Tips:
- Use grass-fed cream for richer flavor.
- Add herbs, garlic, or honey for flavored butter.
- Knead well to keep it fresh longer!
FAQs
Q: Can I use a jar and shake the cream instead of a mixer?
Yes! Just pour cream into a mason jar, shake hard for 10–15 minutes. It’s great for kids too.
Q: Why rinse it?
Rinsing removes leftover buttermilk that can cause spoilage.
Q: How much butter does this make?
Roughly 3/4 cup butter from 2 cups of cream, plus 1 cup of buttermilk.
Homemade butter in minutes—and it’s SO worth it. Once you taste it, you’ll never go back!
