Homemade Butter in the Blender
Make butter in the blender!
Cost 3.00
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream (at least 35% fat)
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Pour chilled cream into blender. Blend on medium speed for 2-10 minutes until it resembles butter.
- If cream does not "flow" in the blender, turn it up on high speed for a minute or so and then back to medium speed. You can also use a tamper or spatula to help the cream move.
- Once it looks like butter drain the liquid from it. This is buttermilk and you can use it for other cooking, like pancakes.
- If adding salt stir it into the butter by hand.
- Pour butter into a mesh sieve or cheesecloth and run it under water gently to wash the rest of the buttermilk off of it. Do this until the water runs clear instead of milky. Use cold water or even add ice cubes to prevent the butter from going through the sieve. Use a spatula to gently push the buttermilk out of the butter if using a sieve. If using cheese cloth you can squeeze the liquid out gently.
- Scoop the butter out into a container and either keep on the counter or in the fridge. The butter will last longer in the fridge.
