Homemade Butter

Had some leftover Heavy Cream and decided to make some butter.

Ingredients

Heavy Cream
Salt

Directions

Pour the Heavy Cream into a stand mixer and add salt to taste- about 1/4-1/2 tsp per 1-2 c. of Heavy Cream.  Turn mixer on high and let it go!  After about 3-4 minutes, the Heavy Cream will have turned into Whipped Cream.  What you are waiting for the Heavy Cream to turn into a thick consistency and then it will break apart into Buttermilk and Butter.  For mine, this took about 20 minutes.


I emptied the mixture into a tupperware container and now you want to get rid of the liquid.  Pour out as much as you can without dumping the solids- the Butter.  Scrape out the butter and squeeze the remaining liquid out of the Butter.  Run it under cold water- continuing to squeeze out the liquid and shape it in a ball.  Refrigerate.
