How to Make Homemade Butter
Report
If you think butter from the store is good, just wait until you make it. This creamy smooth, full-fat butter is nothing short of delicious.

Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Add some heavy whipping cream to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a food processor and mix or process on high speed until the buttermilk separates from the milk fat, about 5 minutes.
- Strain the buttermilk away from the butter. Keep the buttermilk for a recipe of your choice.
- Drain the butter through a chinois or cheesecloth to drain off all buttermilk. If using a chinois press down using a spatula, but if using cheesecloth wrap up the butter and twist it to get out as much buttermilk as possible.
- Rinse the butter under cold water to remove any excess buttermilk.
- It will render about 3/4 cup of butter. Cover and store or season with salt and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 3 days ahead of time.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Butter will last up to 3 weeks if kept cold, covered, and completely free of buttermilk.
- If there is still buttermilk in the butter, it can spoil in under 10 days.
- You can also make butter by vigorously shaking the whipped cream in a mason jar until the buttermilk separates from the milk fats.
