(I do not own the rights to the song that was playing in my head as I typed this)
To make butter:
Pour a quart mason jar 1/2 full of heavy whipping cream
Add a pinch of salt if desired
Place lid on tightly and shake. Keep shaking. It will work. Timing depends on how fast you shake. For me, after about 10 minutes I had whipped cream. I kept shaking. In just a few more minutes, I could see it beginning to come together, then separate then viola! It separated into thin liquid (buttermilk) and solid (the butter).
I poured it through a strainer, then gathered the solid and placed it in another bowl. I rinsed it twice with very cold water then placed the butter in a bowl. I did the same thing again with the reminder and it went much faster. I kept the buttermilk, I’ll use it tomorrow to make my breakfast muffins and dumplings for lunch. I’m excited. I may never buy butter again.
I used a quart of heavy whipping cream
Poured it in a jar and covered it after adding a pinch of salt
Shake! Shake! And keep shaking
It’s beginning to separate
Getting closer
It’s getting closer
See the butter forming?
