Ingredients
- 3 cups (24floz/720ml) heavy cream (high fat content)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons Ice water

Whip the cream until it separates. After around 2 ½ minutes you will see it start to over whip and really thicken. Keep going. After around 4 minutes it should be fully separated. You can see yellow buttery solids and cloudy liquid at this point.

Once it separates pour in your ice cold water. This helps separate the butter fully separate from the liquid (buttermilk) and you will see even more buttermilk appear.

Store in the fridge for 6 weeks and use in your baking, savory dishes or even on toast.
