How to Make Butter
How to Make Butter
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Place whipping cream in a bowl and beat with a whisk attachment until the solids separate from the liquids. Rinse the butter off with cold water.
Place the solids in a bowl and stir in the salt. The remaining liquids are buttermilk so be sure to save them for recipes that call for buttermilk.
Save each in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Butter will last up to three weeks and buttermilk will last for about two weeks. Leftovers of either can be stored in the freezer for a few months.
