Churn Your Own Magic Easy Homemade Butter Recipe

Instructions:

1. Ensure the heavy cream is well-chilled for optimal churning.
2. Pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl of your stand mixer. Attach the whisk attachment and begin whipping on medium speed. (Or pour into a sturdy glass jar, no more than half full)
3. Continue whipping (or shaking vigorously) until the cream separates into solids (butter) and liquid (buttermilk).
4. Pour the mixture into a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a bowl to collect the buttermilk.
5. Gently rinse the butter under cold running water. Knead the butter with your hands to remove any remaining buttermilk. The water should run clear.
6. If desired, knead in sea salt to taste.
7. Shape the butter into a log or place it in a butter dish. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for longer storage. Enjoy your homemade butter!
