Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cultured cream
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
2. Add the cultured cream and salt and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Line a fine-mesh sieve with a cheesecloth-lined bowl.
4. Pour the whipped cream mixture into the sieve and let it drain for at least 30 minutes.
5. Transfer the butter to a bowl and knead it until the buttermilk is removed.
6. Form the butter into a log and wrap it in parchment paper.
7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using.

Why It Works
