DIY Make Your Own Butter – heavy cream and salt are all you need to make homemade butter that is more delicious than any you ever bought at the grocery store.

INGREDIENTS

– heavy cream – salt optional – yellow food coloring optional

It’s cheaper than store-bought and doesn’t have any additives at all. Plus, you can customize the flavor of your DIY butter to your liking by adding salt, herbs, and other spices.

Ripen the cream by letting it stand at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours. It will thicken and become mildly sour.

Pour cream into a large electric mixer bowl. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring, if desired.
