So guess what I did today?.... You are freaking brilliant. I indeed did make homemade butter! It was gloooooooooooorious!!!! And with my pioneering ancestry, I enjoyed every single minute of it. It brought me more joy than I had ever imagined! It was like I was living the life of my great-grandma... only with a Kitchen Aid and not a churner. Not only did I make butter, BUT I also made honey butter!!! I know right, I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF TOO!!! hahaha
What? I even tasted it all by itself to make sure it tasted ok... AND LIKED IT!!! SICK!!! Who told you that?!? I would nev.... yeah you are right, I TOTALLY DID... but I didn't like it, I LOVED IT!
Hello my name is McKinley and I am addicted to fatty dairy! Ahhhh It feels good to get that one off my chest! Now, on with the recipe.
My brilliant sister gave me the idea of making my own butter and when I was at the store I thought why the freak not! So I came home and looked for a recipe on line. Here is where I got my recipe, but I will give you tips on what I did.
I used:
1 Pint of Heavy Whipping Cream {2 cups}
1/4 teaspoon Salt
Tips:
*The better quality the cream, the better the butter.
*Once it was all done, I pressed it down firmly into measuring cups and it measured 3/4 cups of butter. I put 1/2 cup in a baby food jar to help seal the taste/flavor and stuck it in the fridge.
*I took 1/4 cup of the freshly home made butter and slowly added 1/4 cup honey while beating. I did not scrape out the honey so as a result there was a very small amount left at the bottom of the measuring cup. It was the perfect amount. Then I put it into a baby food jar to seal the flavor/taste and put it in the fridge where it now lives!
*Save the buttermilk and add it to other recipes.
VOILA!!! My most valued butter! PS The plastic container is stained from the baby food prior to the butter being placed.
What are your addictions {a.k.a. favorite things}?

Go you!! It has never, ever occured to me to make butter. But...I have made peppermint patties because, yes, they are the candies of the gods. So very, very delicious. And yes, so much sugar and all things bad for you.
I'm just so impressed that you made butter. :-)
Everything tastes better when you make it yourself... well, except maybe Sonic slushies.
And don't listen to anyone tell you that too much of (FILLINTHEBLANK) is bad for you. If you love it, eat it.
I cannot imagine the life of lactose intolerant people. I don't know what I would do if that were me. A life without cheese, milk, BUTTER....
Great job on the homemade butter!!! It looks so smooth and fantastic!

I freaking love your guts!! You're hilarious!!
I'm addicted to breads, pasta, basically all carbs :( Why couldn't carbs be more important than veggies or fruit. or why couldn't my body be addicted to veggies instead of carbs *sigh*. Such is life I guess!
Just you wait, soon you will be canning jam and making your own fruit rollups (which I really want to try )!
How does it taste??
I just read a recipe about making blueberry butter.. you may have inspired me to try both
Geniosifi! I need to make that honey butter.
Yum, honey butter!
