Homemade butter is incredibly easy to make, and it's so delicious it will have your family asking for more. Here's a step-by-step guide that will help you

Ingredients:

• Heavy cream - 1 pint

Step 5: Once strained, add cold water to the processor, enough to cover the butter, and pulse a few times to wash off any remaining buttermilk.

Step 6: Drain this water and repeat the washing process one more time.

Step 7: Strain the butter one last time and transfer it to a bowl.

Step 8: If you wish to salt your butter, now would be the time. Sprinkle the salt over the butter and mix well. Your homemade butter is ready to serve!
