Homemade butter....

So I decided to make my own butter; and boy did i enjoy it :) ! It is such a delight to actually set out to make something and that something is the result....if you know what I mean. 

Okay, before I ventured out to try this I looked it up and then watched a few youtube videos.

Recipe:

1 qt. heavy whipping cream

pinch of salt 

2 drops pure vanilla (optional) 

I added the vanilla because I wanted to use this specifically as a spread for some fresh homemade bread.

So phase one: place ingredients into a deep bowl.

I used a stationary mixer, so all i had to do was just spin the bowl. 

 And blend some more until you begin to see.......

 .....the tiny yellow chucks begin to seperate from the milky liquid.

 Then I poured it into a strainer and placed a bowl underneath to catch the liquid as you also make butter milk.

 Then i took the crumb-like butter and molded in my hands, pressing the liquid out of it.

Here is the finished product.

It was delicious!! And a great creamy spread for your homemade bread!

The butter milk, which is the by product, works well for homemade biscuits! 

Enjoy :) !
