FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What should I use this whipped butter on? Try using it on some homemade bagels, breads, on top of mashed potatoes, English muffin bread or bread, waffles, French Toast Sticks, pancakes, cornbread muffins, and more! What’s the best cream for making butter? It needs to be heavy cream not half and half or light cream. What do I do if my whipped butter hardens? When butter gets cold, it hardens. Just let it soften at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before using. Or see my post on How to Soften Butter Quickly for additional tips. Avoid microwaving the butter, as it can melt unevenly and lose its texture. How do I store Homemade Whipped Butter? Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will last for 2-3 weeks.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
heavy cream– You may also see it called heavy whipping cream. They are the same. Using very cold cream makes all the difference.
kosher salt– I prefer to use this over iodized table salt for best results. Se salt also works nicely.
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE WHIPPED BUTTER
Add the heavy cream and salt to a chilled bowl and beat on medium high speed with an electric or stand mixer until cream thickens and becomes fluffy.
Spread butter over warm buns, toast, waffles, pancakes, bagels or muffins, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Enjoy!
