There is nothing wrong with making your own butter. Yeas, of course it is cheap to buy it in the stores but after you see how it was done and what goes in it – you are going to be shocked at how long it's been in your fridge for.

Here Are The Natural Ingredients To Gather…

• 1 carrot (optional)

• 1/4 c. milk (optional)

• 1 quart heavy cream

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

The Step-By-Step Directions To Follow:

1. (OPTIONAL) Peel & finely grate a carrot.

2. Heat in small saucepan with 1/4 cup milk until milk is bubbly.

3. Use a clean cheesecloth to strain orange-colored milk into the bowl of your stand mixer.

4. Discard shredded carrot.

5. Pour cream into bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.

6. Add salt.

7. Cover mixer with a towel–trust me on this one, it will be messy! Turn mixer on high.

8. Continue mixing, checking on mixture frequently. It will first turn to whipped cream, then begin to get grainy and separate into butter and buttermilk, and the splashing will get much worse.

9. The butter is ready when it sticks in a clump to the paddle.

Finished!
