The first step, whether you’re using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, is to pour the heavy cream into a large mixing bowl.
To beat the cream, turn the mixer to medium-high speed. The cream will first be beaten into a fluffy consistency. Cream should be whipped until butter and buttermilk are visible. Takes about ten to fifteen minutes to complete.
Remove the buttermilk and butter from the mixture:
Once the butter and buttermilk have separated, pour out the buttermilk and save it aside for later use in baking or cooking.
To rinse the butter and remove any remaining buttermilk, run cold water over it. Apply pressure to the butter with a spatula or your fingertips to extract as much buttermilk as possible. This is a must if you want the butter to last a long time in the fridge.
To season and preserve butter, simply drop a pinch of salt on top and mix thoroughly. Mold the butter into an object or move it to a new container using parchment paper. Chill before serving.
