Ingredients
- 1 Pint heavy cream
Instructions
- Place heavy cream in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Pour the cream into a food processor and process until you see the yellowish fat separate from the buttermilk, about 45 seconds to a minute.
- Scrape the mixture into a strainer lined with cheesecloth, fold the cheesecloth over and press the buttermilk out. Massaging or folding the mixture in between pressings will help remove more buttermilk.
- Remove the butter from the cheesecloth and store in the fridge overnight.
