Hi Bold Bakers! Butter is the backbone of all baking. Being from Ireland, I know great butter. Already have an account? Usually I get inspiration for recipes from my Bold Bakers (that’s you!). How to Make Homemade Butter was requested a lot from people who said butter was very expensive in their country. However, after tasting this Homemade Butter I want everyone to make it! EVERYONE! Not only was it fascinating to make, but immensely satisfying. It takes no time at all, no special equipment, and it’s a pleasure to make. Also, make sure to check out more of my Bold Baking Basics.
Butter Ingredients
Making your own butter doesn’t require you to churn butter like it’s the 1800s. In fact, in terms of ingredients, you only need heavy cream, salt and ice water. That’s right, only three ingredients are needed for this butter recipe.

How To Make Homemade Butter
Making your own butter is not only super effortless, you’re actually making two products: easy homemade butter and buttermilk. Because one of the byproducts from this process is the most delicious buttermilk (and don’t forget to get the full recipe with measurements, on the page down below.).
Homemade Butter Consistency
After you’ve finished making the butter, it should be soft and have that classic buttery consistency. If the butter feels a little wet, I’d recommend making sure that you’ve separated the butter from the buttermilk.
How Long Does Homemade Butter Last?
You can store homemade butter in a jar in the fridge for 6 weeks. It will then be ready to use in your baking, savory dishes or even on toast.
