Homemade butter

Delicious, rich butter is only a few minutes away - all you need is a food processor, and 2 ingredients!
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 600 ml cream*
  • 1 tbsp salt

Method
 

  1. Place cream and salt in the bowl of your food processor.
  2. Process till cream splits into grainy solids and a thin, milky liquid (the whey).
  3. Strain through muslin, or CLEAN chux/tea towel.
  4. Fold the edges of the cloth together and press out the excess liquid.
  5. CONGRATULATIONS! You just made butter.

Notes

*Many recipes call for pure cream, but really. Any cream will do. I tried it with thickened cream because it was easier to find, and you get a great result still!
