Why buy butter in a store when it takes just a few minutes to make at home? It is really fun making butter and the KitchenAid mixer whips it up instantly.
All you need is heavy whipping cream. Pour a little or a lot (depending on how much butter you need) into the mixing bowl and whip with the wire beater on the highest speed. Use the splash guard because it will splatter everywhere.
After a couple minutes you will have whipped cream. Stop here if that is your goal. Otherwise, keep going another minute or two until it thickens up and turns into butter. That’s it.
Below I have some ideas to add as you whip the butter. The quantity mentioned for each assumes you only want to make 2-3 tablespoons of butter.
on the left- Basil Butter
1 TB freshly chopped basil, pinch of sea salt, pepper
in the middle- Vietnamese Sweet Lemon Curry Butter-
1 TB curry powder (www.savoryspiceshop.com)
Right- Horseradish Butter
1 tsp powdered horseradish, sea salt, aleppo pepper flakes (again, visit savory spice shop for these ingredients)
