Enjoy Homemade Butter in Less Than Five Minutes


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[s] 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.
