Ingredients

300 ml Double cream
A pinch of salt
Iced water

Instructions

1
Whip the cream on high speed until you form butter (you’ll know this has happened as you’ll see quite a lot of liquid in the bottom of the bowl). Add salt if you wish to make salted butter.
2
Using a spatula or a wooden spoon keep mixing by hand to squeeze any excess buttermilk from the butter.
3
Remove the butter from the bowl a lump at a time and give it a quick squeeze with your hands, before setting aside.
4
If you want to prolong the life of the butter, dip it into a bowl of iced water to rinse of any leftover buttermilk. Pat dry with clean kitchen paper.
5
Form the butter into a lump (in whatever shape you fancy) and refrigerate until you want to use it.
