Have you ever made butter at home?
The boys and I made homemade butter in my stand mixer last week and it’s really a lot easier than it sounds!
Colin measured out the heavy whipping cream and shook the salt into the measuring cup.
Kids in the Kitchen: Homemade Butter (Using a Stand Mixer)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3 or 4 shakes large pinch Iodized Salt
Instructions
-
Pour heavy whipping cream and salt into your stand mixer bowl.
-
Turn on high and let it go.
-
The cream will go through several phases. It's ready when the butter sticks to the blade (about 25 minutes).
Recipe Notes
You can make more or less butter, depending on your needs. Just increase the amount of whipping cream (and salt).
If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a glass jar with a lid. Just be prepared to shake for a LONG time!
Would you make your own butter?

This is really easy! I never thought about making homemade butter, however, if I do, I’m going to need a better mixer. Guess what’s going on the top of my Christmas wish list? 🙂
I’ve never thought to make it before. I’m dairy free right now, so I would probably start drooling if I smelled it, but maybe we’ll make it on a break from school!

Awww…awesome! I will pin it now! Maybe we’ll work on it in two weekends when I’m home!
