To salt do not add more than a small half teaspoon for each half pound (250 gr) – half that amount suits me but I don’t take a lot of salt. I did it with my hand mixer, whisk attachments, so it took some time, but, the finished product was totally worth it. Repeat the washing process until the water is really clean, this can be seven or more times but I can’t emphasise enough how you do need to make sure the water is clear. The cream will thicken, then turn into whipped cream, at which point you may not hear much happening in the jar.In the old days they had special wooden paddles to press and shape the butter but you can use your hands and the back of a spoon to do this. When butter is discounted at the supermarket it will be cheaper than homemade butter (unless you’re milking your own cow). If your whisk is on high speed you are now redecorating the kitchen, hence my suggesting you reduce speed to a minimum.

And with the yield of butter from cream ranging from about 35% to 50% (tops) by weight, it’s frankly not worth the effort (even if you do manage it) to start with a cup or less of cream and end up with just 6 or 7 tablespoons of homemade butter. I’ve successfully made butter from as little as 2/3 cup (about 5 ounces, 142g) of heavy cream using my handheld mixer.If you prefer a softer, creamier butter (though one prone to “sweating” beads of water in the fridge), simply don’t wash as thoroughly. Drain the buttermilk off – you can use this in baking bread, scones, cooking or make your cat very happy. Final product: Your hand-shaken butter will be softer and retain more buttermilk than butter made with the aid of a machine. Final product: The purest of any of the homemade butters, almost completely devoid of remaining buttermilk.
