Homemade Butter and Buttermilk Using a KitchenAid Mixer

Creating your own butter not only provides a rich, creamy spread but also yields fresh buttermilk, perfect for baking. With just heavy whipping cream and a stand mixer, you can achieve this in minutes.​

Steps:

1. Preparation: Pour room temperature heavy whipping cream into your stand mixer's bowl. Using the whisk attachment, start at a low speed, gradually increasing to high.​Savvy Saving Couple+1KitchenAid+1Savvy Saving Couple+1

2. Whipping Stages: Initially, the cream will thicken into whipped cream. Continue mixing until it separates into butter solids and buttermilk.​KitchenAid

3. Separation: Once separation occurs, strain off the liquid buttermilk and set it aside for later use.​mommyskitchen.net+5KitchenAid+5thepracticalkitchen.com+5

4. Rinsing: To ensure longevity, rinse the butter under cold water, kneading gently to remove residual buttermilk.​

5. Finishing Touches: Add a pinch of salt or herbs to the butter if desired, and it's ready to enjoy!​
