Around the holidays you can find soft snowflake rolls - they are delicious when paired with home made butter. Butter is so easy to make and everyone gets excited when it's homemade! It becomes compound butter when you add additional ingredients beyond salt – a little fresh sage, parsley and chives make a wonderful Thanksgiving butter.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream – high butterfat content whipping cream is best
- Sea Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives, parsley, sage)
Instructions
Whip heavy whipping cream at medium setting on your mixer until its solids separate from its liquid. The solids need to be clinging to the mixing attachment with the liquid in the bottom of the bowl. Take out butter and place in a clean smooth towel. Wring out extra liquid. Put butter back in bowl and mix in salt and herbs with a wooden spoon. Roll in parchment, or put in a crock. Keeps a week in fridge, or freeze for longer use. Serve room temperature with soft snowflake rolls.
