Equipment

  • Kitchenaid Mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 carton Heavy Whipping Cream room temperature
  • Ice water

Instructions

  • Add the heavy whipping cream to your mixer, and mix on high speed. After 3-5 minutes, you should notice that the mixture will start have a "curd" like texture. This is where the butter fat is starting to seperate from the buttermilk liquid.
  • Drain the buttermilk liquid into a container, and save if you wantto use it for other recipes, like Buttermilk Honey Bread.
  • Keep the butter fat in the mixer, and add ice water, making sure no ice cubes get added. Mix the butter fat and ice water for about a minute.
  • Drain the water, and move the butter fat to a papertowl, and blot the butter well, making sure to get all the eftover liquid out of the butter. Add salt, or other herbs and spices!
  • Store the butter in an airtight container. It will stay good in the fridge for about 3 weeks!
