I saw one of my favorite food bloggers/influencers, Little Bits Of Real Food, post about making homemade butter a few months ago and ever since then I've been hooked. It's so easy to make and leaves you in control of the ingredients getting added. Check out the details below!
Prep:
-This whole recipe is a prep basically as you make it and then have it in your fridge for whenever you need it
Tips:
-The more local heavy cream you can find the better- that's a great rule of thumb to follow always!
-You can double or triple this recipe as needed. Just up the amount of salt and whipping time
Leftovers:
-This stores best in an airtight container for around a week or so
-If you make too much, wrap it very tightly in parchment paper until it makes a log, and store in the freezer in a freezer bag
The recipe:
10 Minute Homemade Butter
Prep time: 1 minute
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: makes about a stick of butter
For the butter
8 fl-oz of heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon of salt
Instructions:
Pour the heavy cream into your kitchen aid mixer with the whisk attachment
Beat on high for 10 minutes or until butter has formed into a ball/clump and you're left with buttermilk at the bottom of the bowl
Take your newly formed butter and squeeze out any of the excess liquid aka buttermilk
Mix in your salt with a knife
Serve and enjoy! I find this is best served with fresh sourdough bread- yum! Check out my sourdough recipe here
