I made homemade butter.

It was rediculously easy with my food processor. Took about ten minutes. (I stopped it halfway through to scoop out some whipped cream for my pancakes.) No attachments, just the normal blades on my cuisinart. I will probably never buy butter again. It’s cheaper to make, and I can control how much I have at one time instead of freezing it, which doesn’t seem to work very well for me. I used one pint of heavy whipping cream and it made almost a stick’s worth of butter(Minus the whipped cream) and a little more than 1/2 cup of buttermilk(which was also used for the pancakes). I rinsed it once with cold water and pressed out some of the cxcess liquid, which keeps it fresh longer, but I didn’t spend too much time on that part. I didn’t want my breakfast to get cold.
