Ingredients You’ll Need for Homemade Butter
Making butter at home requires only a few essential ingredients, and you probably already have them in your kitchen:
2 cups heavy cream – Choose organic and grass-fed heavy cream for the best taste and health benefits. The quality of cream will significantly affect the flavor of the final product.
Salt (optional) – You can add salt to taste, or leave it unsalted for a more neutral butter that’s perfect for baking or cooking.
Ice water – This is for rinsing the butter and helping to remove excess buttermilk.
Once you have these ingredients ready, it’s time to start making your butter!
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Homemade Butter
Step 1: Chill the Equipment
Before you begin, it’s important to chill your equipment to speed up the butter-making process. Place the bowl and the whisk attachment of your stand or hand mixer in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps the cream whip up faster and more efficiently.
Step 2: Whip the Heavy Cream
After chilling the equipment, pour 2 cups of heavy cream into the cold mixing bowl. Using either a stand mixer, hand mixer, or even a jar with a tight-fitting lid, start whipping the cream.
If you’re using a mixer, start on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high speed. The cream will first turn into whipped cream—this is normal and will take just a few minutes.
Step 3: Continue Whisking Until Butter Forms
