How to Make Your Own Butter

Add Marble to Shake

3. Shake it Up

Shaking can take anywhere from ten minutes to thirty depending on the size of container and amount of cream. The baby jar size will take about fifteen minutes. You will feel the butter start to acquire a heavy feeling. It will become thicker and then whipped cream, like the dessert topping. It will then break up and look like traditional butter. As it changes, watch for the milky liquid that separates. This is buttermilk.
