Tis is good,I already know how to make this,just to tell you that make sure to knead ALL of the buttermilk OUT. Once,I didn't get all of it out,and my butter turned sour. When I spread it on my toast,it smelled like rotten cheese.

I have been making butter like this for years. My students really enjoy making this in the classroom, except we use a mason jar and shake it. They are astounded by the transformation; and it is so delicious on crackers!

These instructions don't contain enough information. If all of the buttermilk isn't removed from the butter, it goes bad very quickly and pressing a spoon against it isn't going to get the job done. When making butter, I always keep one or two bowls (ceramic) in the freezer to use during the kneading process. I usually go completely by hand and shake the cream in a jar or tupperware (if you choose to do this, be sure to fill the container less than halfway) instead of using a blender, but I suppose that works as well and is easier on the arms. Once the butter and buttermilk start to separate, I take the liquid out gradually so there's less in with the butter. When it looks completely separated, a bowl comes out of the freezer. The butter goes in the bowl and the buttermilk needs to be strained through cheesecloth if you plan on using it to remove any tiny bits of butter. As far as kneading goes, there are typically two options--butter paddles (large and relatively flat wooden spoons will work) or your hands--and they'll both need to be soaked in ice-cold water. (For the paddles, I let them sit in a mug full of ice water while I'm doing everything else.) I prefer using my hands because it gives me more control, but kneading butter under ice-cold running water is less pleasant than it sounds. However, rinsing the butter under cold water is a very effective way to remove any leftover buttermilk. After this step, you can knead in salt, honey, or anything else you'd like to add.

It was easy, and turned out fine, but actually more expensive than store bought butter, so I don't know that I'll be doing this again. I processed 2 cups of cream in the food processor for 10 minutes, then I scooped the butter out, wrapped it in cheese cloth and rinsed it thoroughly and pressed all the liquid out before putting it in a container. I got barely 1 cup of butter, and it cost me about $5 ($2 for the cream, and $3 for the cheesecloth).

This is a easy recipe to make butter..It will only work with heavy cream, not milk or even half and half .... it only took about 10-12 minutes to make..you just set it on 6-8 on the kitchen aid mixer and forget it for about 10 min that is lol I found that if you left it on 8 you will get a splatter mess so I left it on 6 and it did not spaltter as much after about 10 mins I did put it on 8 for a bit though ..great recipe overall !!!

I was raised on a farm so my mother used to make her own churned butter. she would save the cream until she had enough to churn and of coarse it fermented and then she used butter molds to mold it into pound molds. I still have one of the wooden molds. It was a very labor intensive process. The homemade butter she made had a very strong taste to it, nothing like what you buy in the stores.

Wow. I never realized it was this easy to make butter! I poured the cream into my food processor and in 10 min it was butter. Next time I will try using a cheesecloth to drain and use the leftover buttermilk for pancakes. I can't wait to try it again and add different herbs/flavors. I usually buy organic unsalted butter for cooking and it's a little pricy - buying the organic cream and just making my own will save so much. Thank you!!
