Churn the Butter!

Who knew you could churn your own butter using your food processor?  I knew you could make it in your stand mixer, but a food processor makes it all a little neater!  Thanks to Joe R., QVC viewer, for the great suggestion!  It tastes amazingly fresh and light – I’m a little obsessed with this at the moment!  Imagine all the possibilities!  Cold night, hot pot of soup, fresh out-of-the-oven yeast rolls and fresh churned butter!! Heavenly!!

“Churn” the heavy cream in your food processor until it whips, thickens and eventually separates into butter and buttermilk!  Takes about 4 minutes.

Servings: 1 cup butter

Ingredients

  • 1-2 cups heavy cream (a little cooler than room temperature)

Optional Flavorings

  • salt
  • cinnamon
  • sugar

Instructions 

  • Set up your food processor with the whisking accessory or the metal multi-purpose blade. Add the heavy cream.  Run on high speed for about 5 minutes (the whisking accessory takes a much shorter time - about 1-2 minutes) or until the butter forms into clumps and separates from the buttermilk.  Stop and scrape down the food processor bowl 1-2 times during the process.
  • Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl.  (You can line with cheesecloth)  Pour the mixture into the strainer.  The buttermilk will drain into the bowl.  With your hands or the cheesecloth, gently squeeze out any more buttermilk.
  • Under running cold water at your sink.  Gently knead the butter allowing any further buttermilk to rinse free.  The cold water will help to firm up the butter. (From what I hear, removing the extra buttermilk helps the butter to “keep” longer.)
  • Flavor the butter if desired.  We like some salt in our butter, the amount is very subjective. We started with a 1/8 teaspoon and added to taste from there.  You can knead the salt in by hand/spatula or rinse out the food processor and use it to mix in the salt.  
  • Place the finished butter in a container, cover and refrigerate.  I like to use mine within a week. I reserve the buttermilk and use when making a cake or pancakes.

Cinnamon Sugar Option:

  • We started with 1/8 teaspoon salt, added 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar. You can easily adjust to your taste.

      Hi Marcela – It does work, it’s just a bit splashy/messy. I’ve accidentally whipped my cream too long and it does make butter!

          Hi Sarah – I sent to your email (but in case anyone has same question) It has to be heavy whipping cream – need that high butterfat content. Take care!
