Thank you for the recipe!!! I needed unsalted butter for a recipe and had started mixing before I realized I was out. I live in a remote area and takes me over an hour to get to a store. After thinking about it for awhile I remember making butter in school, which was over fourty years ago, but couldn't remember the process. Looked on the web and found this one... WORKED JUST AS I REMEMBERED, PERFECT!!! Thank you....

Perfect recipe thank you, I made a test batch as I wanted to try before Thanksgiving and I had my 11 year old son help me and it turned out fantastic and my son was amazed at the process. Thank you for a great recipe and a great homemade addition to our Thanksgiving this year.

I feel somehow as if we've all out-Deened Ms. Paula with this one. What's better than cooking with butter? MAKING butter. Also, I feel so homestead-y... like maybe I need to reread Little House on the Prairie. Uh, can you tell I've enjoyed this recipe? Right up until buttermilk splashed all OVER the place in my kitchen, but that's my fault for walking away right as the butter and liquids were about to break. LOL

I never knew it was so simple and easy to make homemade butter. I used the wire whisk attachment on my hand mixer. I used just one cup heavy cream and it took less than 10 minutes. I used the butter to make garlic bread fantastique, also from this site. Thanks for the recipe.

I'm new to the whole cooking scene, and I think I made this more difficult than it needed to be. I had to leave it on the blender for longer then 10 minutes, but it turned out great. We tasted it after it had been chilled and decided it needed more taste so I melted it partly and added honey. Taste faboos!

DE-LIC-IOUS!! I made it without the salt. Hubby recommended that I use salt next time since he is a salt lover. I really don't think it needs it. Better for baking that way!!

So easy and fun! When I was a child in school, the teacher poured cream into an empty cool whip container. She sealed the lid and handed it to the first child and intructed each of us to shake the bowl vigorously. By the time the last child (about 25th) handled it, it was completely solid. It was such a fun and delicious learning experience!

Absolutely perfect! Very easy to make. Used my stand mixer on 8 and it took start to finish 20 minutes TOPS. Very economical as well:D Try it and you'll be hooked.

This is so simple, but so delicious. I homeschool my son, and for science, one of our experiments was to make butter using heavy cream by putting the cream into a clean glass jar with lid, and shaking it until it became butter. It tastes so good! However, I did NOT have luck using my blender. A mixer or food processor is really necessary for this recipe.

Worked out Great!! I used whipping cream in the food processer (I chilled the blade first). Processed for about 8 minutes, strained off the buttermilk and mashed into a plastic container. Delicious!! Thanks for the recipe.

I feel a little silly rating something as simple as buter with five stars, but this butter is as good as it gets. I used my kitchenaid mixer with the whisk attachment and ran it on high until it went from the whipped back into the liquid phase. I had to turn it down when it became liquid again because it splattered everywhere. I ran the mixer until it was solid- my butter attached itself to the whisk, and then I poured out the buttermilk that was left remaining in the bowl. I followed others' suggestion to squeeze it with the cheesecloth, spatula, etc but there was no liquid left in my butter to drain. I didn't rinse the butter because I forgot to, and it was still great- not sure why some said that was necessary.

We use this recipe ALL the time and it's the best! We add a little fresh minced garlic for garlic bread or omit the salt and a little sugar and cinnamon. You can play with it by adding almost anything. My favorite is adding about 1 tablespoon of honey at the very end of the whipping time and spreading it on pancakes, YUM YUM. My husband likes to add honey and grated orange rind, which is also very good on pancakes, toast or any type of muffin or bread. The skies the limit with this recipe. Have fun!

This was fun to make in my Kitchenaid. It worked out very well. I did do a cost comparison between making it with cream versus buying packaged butter. It cost me $2 for a pint of cream and I got one cup out of it. Packaged butter is running about $2.25 right now and I get 2 cups of butter from it. SO, packaged butter is less expensive by about half, but making the butter is fun!

As written, the recipe doesn't contain all of the information you need to make butter. I used KA mixer with whisk attachment (since you really make whipped cream first then continue beating). On speed setting 8 takes between 15-20 minutes. Follow other's advice to either use cheese cloth to strain out excess liquid or use a strainer. Adding salt is NOT necessary (without salt you will have unsalted butter). Very important to compress the butter that results or it very watery when used for cooking or baking.
