lifestyle
By Toyibat Ajose

To make butter at home from milk, start by whipping heavy cream until fat clumps. Agitate the cream to form butter, then strain out the liquid. Store in the fridge for short-term use or freeze for up to 9 months.

Enhance with herbs, honey, or spices for unique flavors. Making your homemade butter offers a satisfying and rewarding experience that adds a personal touch to your culinary creations.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (Optional)

Directions

  1. Pour heavy cream into a food processor or blender. Process on high until butter separates, about 10 minutes.

  2. Strain off liquid, then press butter into a small bowl with the back of a spoon to further remove liquid. Season with salt.
