Homemade Butter Recipe #82906

This is how you can make butter at home. This is good for a group of kids to do, they can keep passing the bowl to one another when they get tired of shaking.
by "Pink Eyed" Jim Cortina

10 min | 10 min prep

1 lb butter

  1. Put the cream (and salt, if desired) in a Tupperware bowl with a lid.
  2. (If you don't want to do a lot of shaking, you can do this in a mixer, just like you would whipped cream, just keep beating it until the whipped cream breaks, and you may have to use the paddle attachment of your mixer once the lump starts to form.) Shake the dickens out of it!
  3. After 10 minutes or so, you should notice a yellow lump in the cream and the cream will look like cloudy water, once this happens, you have butter (the lump) and buttermilk (the cloudy water).
  4. Shape the butter as desired, and refrigerate, or freeze.
