How To Make Homemade Butter

For some strange reason, making butter from scratch doesn’t really occur to a great many people. The picture that often comes to mind is the bonnet-clad lady churning on an old dusty porch. The thing is—it’s actually really easy. Like throw some cream in a blender and press on easy. You can adjust flavors to your liking—adding spices, herbs, garlic, honey, etc. to create a compound butter. Strain through a cheese cloth and throw on ice for a butter experience like you’ve never had before. Follow along with our culinary academy instructor as he shows you the simplest way to make delicious homemade butter.
