Directions
- 1Pour 1 liter of heavy cream into a blender, stand mixer with whisk attachment, or food processor.
- 2Mix on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- 3Keep mixing past the whipped cream stage. At 5-7 minutes, the mixture will become grainy and turn more yellow in color.
- 4At 8-10 minutes, the butter will suddenly separate from the buttermilk, leaving you with a solid yellow mass and liquid in your bowl.
- 5Pour the mixture through a mesh strainer to separate the butter from the buttermilk.
- 6Reserve the buttermilk in the refrigerator for other uses.
- 7Place the butter in a bowl of ice water.
- 8Squeeze and knead the butter with your hands to remove remaining buttermilk, changing the water 2-3 times until it runs completely clear.
- 9Add salt or desired flavorings to taste.
- 10Shape the butter into a rectangle or desired form.
