How to Make Your Own Butter

Freshly Made Buttermilk

4. Pour out the Buttermilk

Once you have buttermilk, pour it out but don’t throw it away. Buttermilk is great added to pancakes and batter frying. To make sure all of the buttermilk is removed you will add about a tablespoon of ice cold water, return lid and shake. Pour out the water which removes any residual buttermilk. Continue a few times to makes sure the water runs clear. Scoop the butter onto the dishcloth and use the spoon to smooth around the butter ensuring all liquid is removed.
