Butter

Ingredients
  whipping cream 250 mL
  salt to taste  
  cold water  
     


Equipment
  jar with tight fitting screw cap OR egg beater and narrow, deep bowl  
  small bowl, glass or jug  
  wooden spoon or other sturdy spoon  
  measuring spoon  
 
Directions
Leave cream out of refrigerator long enough to bring it to room temperature. Shake cream in a closed jar, or beat in a bowl until a ball of butter forms - about 10-20 minutes. Pour off buttermilk (the liquid in the bowl). Tilt bowl toward your body and use a spoon to press out beads of buttermilk by pushing butter against far side of bowl. Rinse away traces of liquid by adding small amounts of cold water to butter while continuing the spoon-pressing. Drain the liquid. Repeat several times. Add salt and mix well into the butter. Enjoy!
