How to Make Fresh Homemade Butter with Just One Simple Ingredient

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream (preferably at least 35% fat)

Instructions:

1. Start with Cold Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a large mixing bowl or food processor. Using cold cream will help it whip faster and more efficiently.
2. Whip the Cream: Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or food processor, begin whipping the cream on medium-high speed. At first, the cream will turn into whipped cream, but continue whipping, and it will begin to separate. After about 10 minutes, the cream will split into butter solids and buttermilk.
3. Drain the Buttermilk: Once the butter has fully separated from the liquid, pour off the buttermilk. You can save this buttermilk for baking or other recipes.
4. Knead the Butter: Using a spatula or your hands, press the butter in a bowl or strainer to remove any remaining buttermilk. Rinse the butter with cold water as you knead it to help firm up the texture and remove any excess liquid.
5. Store the Butter: Shape the butter into a ball or press it into a dish. It’s now ready to use! Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
