Making your own butter at home is surprisingly simple—and the flavor is richer, fresher, and creamier than anything store-bought. With just heavy cream and optional salt, you can whip up a soft, spreadable butter perfect for toast, pancakes, baking, or savory dishes. The key steps of whipping, straining, and rinsing ensure your butter stays fresh longer and develops its smooth, luxurious texture. Once shaped and chilled, it becomes a versatile kitchen staple you’ll want to make again and again.
