Ingredients

1 pint (2 cups) heavy cream, preferably organic

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Instructions

Pour the heavy cream into a clean, sterilized jar or the bowl of a stand mixer.

If using a jar: Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 10-20 minutes, until the cream separates into butter and buttermilk. If using a stand mixer: Whip on medium-high speed for 10-20 minutes, until the cream separates into butter and buttermilk. You will go through the stages of whipped cream before it breaks.

Strain the butter from the buttermilk using a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. Reserve the buttermilk for baking!

Rinse the butter under cold water, kneading it with your hands to remove any remaining buttermilk. This is crucial for extending its shelf life.

If desired, mix in the sea salt. Shape the butter into a log or place it in a butter dish.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to firm up.

Final Notes

Enjoy your homemade butter on warm bread, toast, or use it in your favorite recipes. The creamy texture and fresh flavor will elevate any dish. For an extra touch, try adding herbs or spices to create flavored butter!
