Homemade Sweet Cream Butter

8 hr
8 hr prep
0 min cook

Serves 10

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream, do not use fat free sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer with whisk attachment add cream and sour cream.
  2. Whisk on medium speed until cream gets very thick and has stiff peaks. Turn up speed on mixer and continue to whip until liquid starts to gather in bowl; this liquid is buttermilk.
  3. Place cheese cloth into a fine mesh sieve and place over sink. Pour buttermilk and butter solids into cheese cloth to drain off all liquid.
  4. Fold up cheese cloth around butter and gently wring out butter to remove remaining liquid. Place back into sieve inside a bowl to catch any additional liquid.
  5. Cover butter with paper towel and refrigerate overnight to allow butter to drain further or use immediately and refrigerate leftover butter for up to a week.
  6. Chef's Note: This butter is ready to use as soon as it is made; however, I like to refrigerate my butter overnight as I have found that curing it overnight does improve flavor of butter. Season with salt and mix in herbs, if desired.
