Homemade butter is vastly superior to its store-bought equivalent, but nobody wants to pull out or buy a butter churn. This churn-free method makes it worthwhile, producing the kitchen staple (and some bonus buttermilk, too) in under five minutes.
Danny at the Over The Hill And On A Roll blog has the instructions on making butter with just two ingredients:
- 16 ounces of heavy cream, chilled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Basically, you're just beating the cream until it 'start to look like scrambled eggs' and separates into butter and buttermilk. After that happens, you'll remove the butter from the remainders and squeeze it into a 'ball-o-butter'. Quick, simple, and it'll make your cookies better.
Are there other groceries you make at home? Do you think they're better than the store-bought equivalents? Share your recipes, and their custom-crafted components, in the comments.
