This was originally posted on 101 things every cook should cook , but it deserves a repost!I followed the instructions to make my own butter!I took 35 % whipping cream ( the highest fat I could find ) , shook it for about 15 minutes until I got tired then whipped the crap out if it with a hand mixer . Soon enough it began to separate , the colour began to change . I then squeezed out all the buttermilk and voila ! Fresh butter . I made muffins with the buttermilk .
What did I do after making butter ?
