I love this idea! I made butter a long time ago in Primary School with the cream in a jar method! Never even occured to me to make it with a whisk! I think when I delve into cheese making I may delve into butter too!! :) Rambling Roses last blog post..Pumpkin Cake

oh,hello! That's awesome that you made your own butter. I wonder if we could do that with the whisk attachment on the kitchenaid. Would my motor overheat? Nates last blog post..Fried Sanddabs with Garlic and Oyster Sauce

I’ve had so many people surprised by the possibility of making butter. Stop a little earlier, add vanilla and sugar and get fabulous whipped cream, go a little longer (we add a touch of salt) and get butter…as Julia Child always said…”If you’re afraid of butter, use cream!” Mind you—I’ve always loved adding a touch of heavy cream to my cold cereal (heart attack a comin’!!) Heavy cream is one of my favorite things in the world! Thanks for the pictures and the post!

We used to make butter at the living history museum where I worked.

If you wash the butter by rinsing it with clear water and working the water through until it runs clear (kneading, with hands or a wooden spoon) it will last much longer. Washing removes the buttermilk, which doesn’t really add any flavor to the butter, but will make it spoil faster. If you’re just making a small amount to have on toast it probably doesn’t make much difference, but even in the fridge the shelf-life is a lot shorter with the buttermilk in it.

And the buttermilk works great in biscuits or pancakes! It’s almost as much better than store-bought as the butter itself.
