Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups heavy cream room temperature
  • thyme optional
  • rosemary optional
  • pinch salt
  • garlic powder optional

Instructions
 

  • Measure 2 cups of heavy cream, cover cup or bowl, and let sit for a couple of hours or overnight to reach full room temperature.
  • Place in a large bowl. With a mixer, whip the heavy cream until it curdles, into butter. About 5 minutes of whipping.
  • With a cheesecloth, separate butter from buttermilk by scooping butter into cheesecloth.
  • Over buttermilk, strain the rest of the milk out of the butter, as best as you can.
  • Place butter in a small bowl or container.
  • Strain buttermilk and place in a jar or container.
  • Add the seasoning, preferably minced seasoning into butter. Add salt a pinch at a time. A little really goes a long way. Add garlic powder, based on your taste level. Mix butter with a spoon.
  • Place butter in plastic wrap, and seal.
  • Refrigerate for two hours minimum before using.
  • Butter can last longer with less milk remained in the butter, so strain thoroughly.

Notes

Anything added to the butter should be start off small.  We recommend a pinch of butter first, the taste it.  You can always add more to the room temperature butter, but you cannot remove afterwards, hence no actual measurements to the were given beside the heavy cream.
Cold heavy cream will take years to churn into butter.
 
While the buttermilk is slightly thinner than store bought, it works just the same.
