How to Make Homemade Butter For The Kitchen Aid

  1. Pour 4 cups of heavy cream into the KitchenAid bowl.
  2. Attach the paddle attachment to your mixer.
  3. Turn the mixer on high speed and whip the cream for 5-10 minutes, or until the sound of the motor changes and the mixture begins to thicken.
  4. Continue whipping until the butterfat separates from the buttermilk, forming solid butter clumps. The color will transition to a pale yellow.
  5. Once the butter has formed, turn the mixer to a low speed and let it run for another minute to fully separate the butter from the buttermilk.
  6. Pour off the buttermilk (save it for baking!).
  7. Use a spatula to remove the butter from the bowl.
  8. Rinse the butter under cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk. You can also place it in a fine-mesh sieve for easier draining.
  9. Shape your butter and enjoy! For longer storage, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
