[quote=Anonymous]I think you can use your normal hand held mixer to make butter, too - just let it go way past the whipped cream stage. For anyone interested, here are the specifics of making butter:

Put heavy cream (any kind) into the stand mixer (or whatever) or into a jar. If using a jar, you don't want to fill more than half full.

Start shaking (or turn on mixer). If you have kids, have them dance around with the jar.

The cream will turn into whipped cream, and the jar will appear full and become hard to shake. This is not butter. Keep shaking.

Usually all at once the butter solids will separate from the liquid, and the contents of the jar will start sloshing again. NOW you have butter. Takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending how hard you shake. Stick a fork in there and smoosh together all the butter bits into a big lump and pull it out.

You can eat as-is immediately. Or, if you want to keep the butter in the fridge, rinse the butter in cool water, kneading it to get all the buttermilk out. When the water runs clear you are done and the butter will keep.[/quote]
