How to make Homemade Butter Recipe

  1. Step 1

    Take the fresh cream out of the freezer and ensure it is completely fresh and odor-free.

  2. Step 2

    Allow the cream to soften and whisk it continuously for 2-3 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  3. Step 3

    Add a little chilled water and mix it well. Continue whisking until the mixture starts to curdle and separate.

  4. Step 4

    Strain the buttermilk from the curdled mixture, leaving behind the butter.

  5. Step 5

    Mix salt and turmeric into the butter and add cold water again. Beat the mixture slightly to ensure the butter is smooth and well-combined.

  6. Step 6

    Your homemade butter is ready to serve!
