Real Raw Butter

Making real butter could not be easier.Place whole milk in the refrigerator for 24 hours in a clear container. When the cream rises to the top of the milk scoop it off. Put the cream into a stand mixer and mix on low until it thickens. Increase the speed slowly( so it stays in the bowl) until small yellow clumps form. Stop the mixer and pour off the butter milk into another container. Take the soft butter clumps out and press them together. Run the clump under cold water to get all the buttermilk off.
Mix in salt if desired. Press into a butter shape and refrigerate.

    I've never tried putting it in the mixer. I've just put it in a mason jar and sloshed it back and forth until the butter forms. For anyone who wants to try and doesn't have access to whole milk, you can just buy whipping cream and used that.

    You can do this with pastureized whole milk also.
