Homemade Butter

I went milking a while back and there was no doubt I was going to make homemade butter. I scooped the cream off the top of the tank but there's no need for you to do that. It's a great way to use up any leftover cream or cream that the use by date is short on. It’s extremely handy to make and also gives you buttermilk, so win-win. We all know real butter is the best, this plastered over some fresh bread and you've got yourself a winner!

Step 1

Pour your cream into a mixer and whisk until it separates into a solid and a liquid. Keep an eye on it because it will happen quickly at the end and splash everywhere. Hoke your butter out of the whisk into the liquid.

Notes

You can make as much or as little as you’d like. 1 Litre of cream roughly gives you 500g of butter and 500ml of buttermilk.
