This homemade butter is the yummiest, creamiest butter you have ever tasted! And it is so much fun to make.
I have always wondered how to make homemade butter. I guess I had visions of churning and churning with big wooden apparatus. Thank goodness for the invention of the food processor.
Who knew it was so amazingly easy! It’s really great to get kids involved to this for a great little science experiment. My daughter was simply amazed at the transformation. I have even seen people put the cream in a mason jar and shake, shake, shake for the same results. But we opted for the easier electricity using method.
Homemade butter is so creamy and fresh! Have fun making your own too.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of Heavy Cream
DIRECTIONS
Add the heavy cream to your food processor and blend for 10 minutes.
You will see the cream begin to change properties and separate from the buttermilk. It first starts to look like whipped cream. Then it begins to separate and look like more of a curdled milk. Then it becomes more solid. So neat!
After 10 minutes, pour off the buttermilk.
Then, press the butter into a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth (or you can even use your hands) to remove as much of the remaining liquid as possible.
Next, return the butter to the food processor and add 2 TBSP of cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk. The butter will last longer if you get as much out as possible.
You will notice that the butter is a very light yellow. This is the natural way butter looks. 🙂
ENJOY!!

We love making homemade butter. I’ve never made it in a food processor, I usually just put the cream in a mason jar and let my kids shake it. Your way is much faster. Thanks for sharing at Simple Lives Thursday; hope to see you again this week.

How cool is that! Thanks for the tutorial. When I pinned the recipe the only photo available to pin on this post was the homemade creamer. I’m at a loss. It’s pinned with the creamer photo but linked to this post. I’ve tried the pin button and my toolbar pin icon and it ended with the same result. Just thought I would let you know. Thanks for linking up for Scraptastic Saturdays. This post will be shared via FB/Twitter/Pinterest. Have a wonderful day. Hope to see you next Saturday.

We love homemade butter! And often add herbs to it and store in the freezer for later. I especially love adding dill for salmon.
