Home Made Butter Ingredients: 1 pint heavy cream. Cheesecloth. ¼ teaspoon salt (optional). Method: Pour the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer, turn it on low speed and whip up the cream, turn it up to medium speed after a couple of minutes. It should take around 5-10 minutes for the fats to separate out from the liquid - you should see the butter begin sticking to the paddles of the mixer. The remaining liquid is buttermilk, which you can use for other recipes. Scrape the butter from the bowl and paddles into a cheesecloth and rinse with cold water then squeeze fairly hard. Keep repeating this until the water comes out clear. Add salt if required, mix thoroughly and squeeze out again to make sure there is as little water in the butter as possible (the more water is left in it, the faster it will go rancid). Wrap the butter in baking paper and store in the fridge or a butter dish (it will last longer in the fridge). -- source link
