Instructions
Pour your heavy cream into a food processor or blender.
Mix the cream on high speed until it comes together into a butter consistency that is separated from the liquid buttermilk.
Strain the buttermilk from the butter, then rinse the butter in cool tap water to finish removing the buttermilk.
Add the optional salt and mix it in. Transfer your homemade butter into a plastic storage container and use like store-bought.
Notes
Yields ½ cup butter = 1 stick or 8 servings of 1 tablespoon each.
Strain the liquid into a jar to save the 1 cup buttermilk that is also produced.
