Two simple staples that will take your homemade meals to the next level. Great for cooking, spreading, and dipping! Watch my full video tutorial on my Instagram . Starting Materials: Heavy whipping cream Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer Instructions: Begin by adding 1-2 cups of heavy whipping cream to your stand mixer and begin mixing at a high speed. Allow the cream to mix for about 15 minutes. It will go through the following stages: Liquid Heavy Cream  – The starting point, thick and smooth. Whipped Cream  – As you whip, air is incorporated, and it thickens into a fluffy, soft peak stage. Stiff Whipped Cream  – Continued mixing results in firm peaks, where the cream holds its shape. Breaking Stage (Curdling)  – Over-mixing causes the fat to separate from the liquid (buttermilk), creating a grainy appearance. Butter Formation  – The butterfat clumps together, leaving behind a thin, milky liquid (buttermilk). Once you have reached the butter stage, strain the butter from the buttermilk and rinsed with cold water to remove excess liquid. To make ranch: Add the following ingredients to your stand mixer. 1/2 cup buttermilk 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup greek yogurt 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 3 tbsp parsley 3 tbsp fresh chopped dill 3 tbsp fresh chopped chives To complete your butter: Knead your butter under cold water for 5 minutes to remove remaining moisture, then shaped for use or storage.
