I love butter. I know, I know…I say I love everything. I do. I really enjoy cooking, and I think that’s because I love eating…if I hated eating, well, I probably wouldn’t care so much about the cooking part.

The uses for butter are endless, and I’m not going to spend hours creating an exhaustive listing of the hundreds or thousands of ways I use/eat butter.

But making my OWN BUTTER?!?!? I never even considered it, since I don’t currently, nor do I have any plans to, own a chrurn.

No Churn Needed:

Danny at the Over The Hill And On A Roll blog has the instructions on making butter with just two ingredients:

16 ounces of heavy cream, chilled
1/2 teaspoon salt
Basically, you’re just beating the cream until it “start to look like scrambled eggs” and separates into butter and buttermilk. After that happens, you’ll remove the butter from the remainders and squeeze it into a “ball-o-butter”. Quick, simple, and it’ll make your cookies better.

I’ve noticed that more and more I’m seeing food-based posts on Lifehacker.com…thanks guys, for improving just about every aspect of my tech-geeky and now my food-geeky life!

Gotta go home now and make some butter…later!
