We’ve all seen the hack TikTok and Reel videos! And honestly, it is that easy 🤭

You just need a single ingredient (whipping cream) and a mixer. You can use either a handheld mixer or a stand mixer. You’ll get, besides the homemade butter, a cup or so of buttermilk from this recipe as well.

You can do two things with the butter: keep it as is, or flavor it. You can see a step by step reel here:

In our case, we added salt to half of the resulting butter to make salted butter, and a bit of cinnamon and honey to the other half. All around, great flavored butter for your next weekend.

Homemade Butter

Ingredients:
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
ice water (to wash the butter)
½ teaspoon of salt, optional for the salted butter
1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon and ½ teaspoon of honey, for the cinnamon butter

Preparation:

Add 2 cups of whipping cream to the mixer bowl, and mix until the mixture begins to turn from white to yellow. Continue mixing and the butter will separate from the buttermilk.
Stop mixing until the butter is forming a uniform dough in the bowl. Remove the whey (that is, the buttermilk) and reserve for use in other preparations.
Wash the butter with ice water several times, until the water comes out completely clear when you press the butter. Leave the butter unsalted, or see the following steps to flavor it. To prepare salted butter and cinnamon butter, divide into two bowls.
For the salted butter, season with ½ teaspoon of salt and mix well to distribute it well. Place in a small jar and refrigerate.
For the sweet butter, mix the honey with 1 – 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon and ½ teaspoon of honey. Mix well and place in a jar.
Both butters will harden in the refrigerator, so we recommend removing them a few minutes before serving.
