Ingredients
  • 3 pints of heavy whipping cream, local and organic, if possible
  • 1 tsp salt, if desired
  • bowl of cold ice water
Instructions
  1. In a butter churn, (or kitchen aide bowl or glass bowl) add cream.
  2. Add salt, if desired. I like to do it at this point so it fully mixes in but can be done at end.
  3. Turn or beat for a LONG time (probably about 10 minutes with electric devices and 30-40 with butter churn) until the butter (it will look like curds) is separated from the milk (hence, buttermilk).
  4. Drain out liquid and reserve for pancakes, biscuits, or whatever strikes your fancy to use it for and then submerge the solids into the cold water.
  5. Gently "squeeze" and form a ball. Repeat 2 more times with clean water to get all the buttermilk taste out of the butter.
  6. Store in container or your choice or fold in herbs, roasted garlic, or spices and ENJOY!!!!
