@thecontrarianmoney: Your number 2 Favorite Recipe of 2025 🥈 Homemade Butter 🧈 You all made this one of the most viewed butter videos on the internet with over 50M views total. Homemade butter only takes one ingredient, is cheaper to make, and you end up with two foods at the end: fresh butter and buttermilk. Follow me to eat better and spend less. Ingredients • Cold heavy cream (Make sure it’s plain cream without additives like carrageenan or it won’t separate) Instructions 1. Pour cold heavy cream into a bowl. 2. Whip on medium-high until it turns into whipped cream, then keep going. 3. The cream will start clumping into yellow curds. Cover your mixer with a towel at this stage to avoid splatter. 4. Keep mixing until the butter fully separates from the liquid. 5. Strain off the buttermilk (save it for pancakes 🥞). 6. Rinse the butter in ice water and squeeze out any extra liquid. This helps it last longer. 7. Salt if you want salted butter, don’t salt if you want unsalted butter. Then store in a butter crock or shape into sticks.
