Simple Homemade Butter
About 15 minutesWhat you need
- 2 cups very cold heavy cream
- Fine salt, to taste
- Ice water
How to make it
- Beat the very cold cream past the whipped-cream stage until the butter separates from the liquid.
- Drain the liquid, then press and rinse the butter in ice water until the water stays clear.
- Work in salt a little at a time, tasting as you go. Press into a round puck, cover, and refrigerate.
Keep refrigerated. Use clean utensils and discard if the butter develops an unusual odor, color, or mold.
