Today I decided to make butter from a quart of heavy whipping cream. Not only did I get almost a pound of butter but a little over 2 cups of buttermilk as well. All you have to do is pour the heavy whipping cream in a bowl. Since my bowl was small it took me three times longer. So use a bigger bowl and make it all at once. Then with a hand mixer and the wire whip attachment, whip until you start to see some liquid. Push the almost butter to the side and strain into a cup. I used my measuring cup. Then whip some more until it holds together. Using a spatula I squished as much of the liquid out as I could and strained it again. Put the butter and buttermilk in containers and frigerate. That's all there is to it. Can't wait to use the butter on the rosemary rolls I have raising to go with tonight's dinner!
