When the stores run out… when you are stuck at home for any number of reasons,

hot bread out of the oven… nothing better!

I was jumping up and down at the results of my bread and butter making day!

And couldn’t wait to share them with you.

You name it!

 I LOVE butter!

I  had no idea how simple it would be to make I had lots of fun, telling everyone I MADE it!

I felt like a kid all day…I made bread and butter…

When it was still warm from the oven and I was slicing off pieces, I even called over to a neighbor to come and get some.

Now all I wonder is what took me so long to make it.

The bread recipe makes 2 loaves, and the butter recipe makes 1/2 cup butter.

learn how to make butter from heavy cream
Author: Diane Created by Diane
Recipe type: Butter
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1/2 cup
Ingredients
  • 16 ounces of heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. In the bowl with a mixer add the heavy cream and mix on high.
  2. Whip it with a whisk attachment until it turns to whipped cream, then keep mixing.
  3. This will take about 3 minutes.
  4. The cream will separate and look like scrambled eggs, then keep beating and then the water will separate from the butter and the liquid is actually buttermilk.
  5. After the buttermilk forms, remove the bowl from the mixer and fill bowl with cold water.
  6. With your hands, you will now squeeze the butter together to form a ball, keep forming it under cold running water, this will remove any tangy buttermilk.
  7. When the water runs clear, place the butter into a glass dish or wrap it in parchment paper.
