Equipment

food processor

Instructions

  1. Pour the heavy cream into a food processor.
  2. Run the food processor until the cream thickens into a whipped consistency.
  3. Keep running it for about 5 more minutes after it thickens.
  4. After 5 minutes, stop and strain the contents through cheesecloth to separate the butter from the buttermilk.

Tips

  • The liquid left over from making the butter is the buttermilk. Store the butter and buttermilk separately in sterilized jars in the refrigerator.
  • You can mix a little salt into the butter to taste, if you like.
