How to Make Butter

If this is your first tutorial in how to make butter, you might want to practice your technique often. It is highly encouraged that you make butter unsalted, as it is easier to season and change into ghee if desired. The easiest recipe to start with is one that uses whipping cream. For this you’ll need:

Ingredients

  • 1 US pint of whipping cream or 473 ml
  • Ice water as needed
  • Pinch of salt optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add whipping cream to a large bowl or open container.
  2. Using a blender, begin mixing the cream starting at a low speed and gradually progress to medium speed. At medium speed, cream should turn into smooth whipped cream.
  3. Continue mixing until the cream starts to become stiff. During this process, the fat is being separated from buttermilk. In 5-10 minutes, butter fat should start sticking to the blades of your mixer.
  4. Drain the buttermilk into a jug and store away in the fridge for future use. Use a spoon to scoop out your butter and transfer it to a separate bowl.
  5. Pour cold ice water over your newly-churned butter to rinse. Keep pouring water until it becomes clear. Drain the remaining buttermilk and season with salt if you prefer. Refrigerate butter until it sets and serve.
