I Made Butter


It was soooo easy to make butter! Who knew??? All you have to do is dump a quart of heavy cream into your stand mixer and let it mix. Start out slow, so it won't splash. As it thickens, turn up the speed. Just let it keep doing it's thing. Eventually, the butter will clump together and the buttermilk will separate. At this point, you want to turn the speed down. Pour the buttermilk off to use in pancakes later. Rinse the butter in cool water to get the rest of the buttermilk off. Season your butter with a little salt to taste. You can also stir in some honey and make honey butter. Or you could add some other seasonings and herbs. Very delicious! Try it!
