Wouldn’t it be wonderful to enjoy the creamy, fresh taste of homemade butter? Surprisingly, making your own butter is not only easy but also allows you to take control of the ingredients and enjoy a flavor that store-bought butter simply can’t match. In just five minutes, with a few simple tools and one ingredient, you can produce 1 kg of delicious butter right in your own kitchen. Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need:
High-fat heavy cream (preferably)
A large mixing bowl
An electric mixer or food processor
Ice water
A spatula
Cheese cloth or a fine strainer
Salt (optional, for seasoning)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Cream: Start with approximately 2 liters of heavy cream in a large mixing bowl. Make sure the cream is very cold, straight from the refrigerator.
Start Whipping: Use an electric mixer or food processor to whip the cream at medium-high speed. The cream will transform into whipped cream and eventually separate into butter and buttermilk as you continue whipping.
Watch for Separation: After 3-5 minutes of whipping, you’ll notice the cream breaking apart. This is when yellowish butter clumps start to separate from the liquid buttermilk. Once this happens, stop whipping.
