Ingredients
2cupsheavy whipping cream
sea salt to taste
Instructions
Add some heavy whipping cream to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a food processor and mix or process on high speed until the buttermilk separates from the milk fat, about 5 minutes.
Strain the buttermilk away from the butter. Keep the buttermilk for a recipe of your choice.
Drain the butter through a chinois or cheesecloth to drain off all buttermilk. If using a chinois press down using a spatula, but if using cheesecloth wrap up the butter and twist it to get out as much buttermilk as possible.
Rinse the butter under cold water to remove any excess buttermilk.
It will render about 3/4 cup of butter. Cover and store or season with salt and serve.
