Once the butter fat coagulates and sticks to the whisk, you can drain off the buttermilk into a mason jar for later use. Store your homemade butter in the refrigerator in an airtight container or wrapped in parchment or wax paper. You can also save your buttermilk in an airtight container in the refrigerator to use in recipes. This homemade butter recipe will yield between ½ cup and 1 cup of butter.
The first thing you notice is that the mixer whips the cream into whipped cream. Learning to make butter with your stand mixer is easy. If you can turn on your mixer and have played with PlayDoh you can make butter. At this point, you'll need to strain the mixture to separate the butter from the buttermilk. To do this, line a strainer with cheesecloth , and then pour the mixture into the strainer. Use a spatula or spoon to press down on the mixture so that all the buttermilk is strained out.
How Long Does Homemade Butter Last?
Homemade butter will last at least a week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The exact amount of time it will last depends on the age of the cream and how well the butter has been drained of buttermilk. Drain the buttermilk off of the butter, using a fine mesh strainer or a piece of cheesecloth draped over a bowl.
I placed the bowl in the sink and rinsed the butter under cold water. After rinsing, I discarded the water in the bowl, squeezing and gently kneading the ball a few times. I repeated this process about six times until the water ran clear and the butter didn’t release any liquid when I squeezed it.
Step 6: Gather the Dough
First, you need to pour out that yummy leftover buttermilk into a glass mason jar or any other airtight container. You can use this buttermilk later to make fluffy pancakes, salad dressing, biscuits, and other home cooked foods. First, remove your cream from the refrigerator and let it sit on your kitchen counter for a little while, just enough for it to start naturally separating. As you make your butter, your mixture will separate into butter fat and buttermilk anyway. This part is definitely optional, but some chefs swear by it.
The open mixer bowl makes it easy to keep an eye on the mixture and stop it at just the right time. The butter making process isn’t over once you see all that delicious butter in your mixing bowl. Your next step is to rinse out your freshly made butter with water. Next, you want to pour all your cream into the large steel mixing bowl that’s attached to your kitchen mixer. If you’re using a Kitchenaid Tilt kitchen mixer, you can easily tilt your mixer up to add your cream without having to attach the mixing bowl. I just finished making it and the end result tastes great!
Stop food policing, now and forever
After making it once in my KitchenAid Stand Mixer, I couldn’t believe my taste buds – It was so creamy and full of flavor! Plus, the byproduct when making butter is Buttermilk… perfect for those who use Buttermilk or Starter for cultured dairy.

The technical storage or access that is used exclusively for anonymous statistical purposes. You can also roll your butter into a few balls and wrap them up in plastic wrap. To store, we recommend putting your butter into an airtight container. This should keep it fresh for at least a couple of months at best. Butter is made from just one simple ingredient—cream. This herby buttermilk vinaigrette was first made for Aretha Franklin when she used to come into Le Bernardin.
If you plan on eating the butter within a day or two it is not as important to remove it all. You may want to take this time to add a little sea salt or other extra seasonings if you want to make seasoned butter for steak or seafood. Otherwise, you don’t have to add a thing.
Then, I turned on the mixer, starting on speed 1 and gradually increasing it up to 8. Watch for the butter solids to thicken and then separate from the buttermilk. Explore these butter recipes to experience what homemade butter can bring to your culinary adventures. Do not leave the butter at room temperature for more than 4 hours.
My cream was at 55 degrees when I started the second batch. By the way I just covered the whipping cream in the mixing bowl for tomorrow and I’m hoping it was too warm. Transfer butter into a bowl and add about ½ a cup of ice-cold water. Using a spatula or your hands, press/squeeze the butter to remove buttermilk.
This process can be done with heavy cream from the store as well, although I doubt it would save you any money. Not that having a cow and making my own butter saves me much money! It’s a labour of love in pursuit of the best food for my family possible.
Let the heavy whipping cream sit out for 10 or 15 minutes before using it. Room temperature cream may start to separate sooner. In your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, pour whipping cream into mixing bowl. Can you do this with store-bought butter?
Fresh Butter with Eastern Spices
To revisit this recipe, visit My Account, then View saved recipes. So, this is great information to know! My husband calls me a butter hoarder, but seriously I use it all the time. When the butter is done, you will see butter clumping together on the blade and buttermilk sitting in the bottom. Once the cream has come up to temperature, dump it into a mixer and turn the mixer on high. If you have a lid, put it on because this will make a mess.
You know your butter is done when it’s completely separated from the buttermilk collected at the bottom of your bowl. As cool as they are, you don’t even need a butter churn to whip up your own country fresh butter right at home. All you need is your trusty kitchen mixer and just one simple ingredient (we’ll tell you what that is in just a minute). Chef Daniel Patterson of San Francisco's Coi shared this surprisingly easy recipe for making fresh butter and its delicious by-product—buttermilk—with Epicurious. The buttermilk can be used to make Patterson's Yuba "Pappardelle" with English Peas, Fava Leaves, and Basil .
