Homemade Butter Recipe

Butter is one of those really simple foods to make — once you do it once you've got it down pat. The goal is to completely separate the fat from liquid that's bound together in the heavy cream.

Start out the same way you would making whipped cream from scratch by pouring your heavy cream into the stand mixer and placing on a low setting to start (no measurement necessary, just use what you've got on hand). If you haven't made homemade whipped cream before, you're about to learn how in this recipe as well!

As the cream begins to thicken a little, you need to crank up the speed to a steady medium. Here's where it gets fun — after about 5 minutes of steady mixing you will begin to see the soft peaks of homemade whipped cream form before your eyes:

If you were making whipped cream, this is the point in time where you would incorporate sugar to taste and call it a done deal, but we're making butter here people — so keep on beating!

Speed the setting on up and the soft cream peaks will thicken and firm up into what looks like white butter, but trust me, keep on going...

That thick creamy texture is going to begin to break down into little granules:

Now just as you begin to think your butter fat is never going to separate from the liquid, all the little granules bind together in the whisk and the liquid will start splashing up from the mixer — go ahead and turn the speed down at this point. This is where your butter will begin to change over to yellow in color.

Turn the mixer off and strain the butter through a sieve — reserving the buttermilk if you so choose. Make sure to press out as much of the liquid from the butter as possible.

Rinse your butter under cold water, continuing to press and knead to get rid of excess buttermilk. You should now have a healthy handful of good old fashioned butter!

This is the point where the possibilities for your freshly made butter come into play:

• Leave as is and use a completely natural spread on everything from fresh bread to a healthy dollop on top of a big steak.
• Incorporate salt to taste if you like salted butter (we did and went with about 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt).
• Instead of salt, infuse with blends of herbs to create herb butter.
• Infuse with garlic to make a garlic butter spread.
• Incorporate chipotles into the butter and freeze then slice — these come into play for steaks again.
• Add honey and whisk together quickly to form a thick whipped honey butter. This go round, we kept things simple by adding a touch of salt and spreading on a fresh piece of bread — so good.
