Ingredients
Homemade Butter
2 cups (500 ml) cold 35% cream
1 cup ice
½ tsp sea salt
Directions
Pour the cream into a food processor and process on high for about 5 minutes or until the cream looks very curdled and it sounds splashy.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth and squeeze gently to remove as much of the buttermilk as possible.
Add the ice to a large bowl and cover with water. Add in the butter and, using your hands, squeeze and knead the butter just to get a bit more of the buttermilk out and lightly chill the butter. Drain away the water and ice, dry out the bowl, and mash the salt into the butter.
Transfer to a serving vessel or wrap in wax or parchment paper and serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
