minus-squareBrkdncr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·17 days ago$6 of heavy whipping cream makes about $8-$12 of butter depending on if you’re buying cheap butter or expensive butter. You also end up with a lot of buttermilk which I hate buying because I never use it all. DIY Butter doesn’t spoil any faster and can be frozen. It also just tastes a lot better.
minus-squareCuddlyCassowary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·17 days agoThank you so much. You’ve inspired me - I’m going to give it a try this weekend. I already make my own bread, so this will be a fun addition.
minus-squareBrkdncr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·17 days agoI used a whipping attachment on my food processor. I haven’t tried more manual methods since I’m lazy.

minus-squareBrkdncr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·15 days agoGood question. I haven’t noticed any issue.
minus-squarerenrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·16 days agoThat estimate seems a bit high TBH. A quart of heavy cream will net you less than a pound of butter on average.
