Homemade Butter

Making your own butter is very fun, easy, and healthy! I learned this little trick back in middle school (forever ago, I know).

All youre going to need is:

-1 pint of heavy cream

-1/2 tablespoon of salt

-Food processor or you can use a container with a lid

-Cheese cloth

Step One

Pour the heavy cream and salt into the food processor (or container)

Step Two

Turn on your processor and let it do its magic. It'll sound like liquid for a few seconds but then you'll be able to tell that some butter magic is happening! If you don't have a food processor - this step involves you shaking the container and getting a workout. 

Step Three

5 minutes in and I SEE BUTTER! If you are using the shake-weight method this will most likely take more than 5 minutes but I promise its worth it!

Step Four

Take a bowl and put two layers of cheese clothe above it. Pour all the buttermilk through it (so all the butter will be in the cheesecloth)

I then squeezed the ball of butter to get all the buttermilk out of it

Step Five

At this point you want to rinse the butter with cold water and kneed it. This is to get all the buttermilk out of it because the butter WILL go sour after a few days if the milk is not all gone!

Step Six

I then squeezed all the butter into a tupperware container and put it into the fridge. It's dangerous to taste it at this point because it might not make it to the fridge ;) 

Enjoy!
