Ingredients

heavy whipping cream, at room temperature

1/4 tsp salt

1 drop of yellow food coloring, optional (I did not find using food coloring to be necessary)

Preparation

Beat with electric mixer; using whisk attachment. It will begin to form into butter a few minutes after it forms stiff peaks.

The butter needs to be washed to remove as much buttermilk as possible. This can be done by placing the butter in a bowl with cold water and kneading the butter. When the water discolors, pour it out and more cold water.

Not washing the butter will result in butter that may go rancid because of the buttermilk.
