Prepare the cream
Pour the cold heavy cream into a large mixing bowl.
Whip the cream
Mix on medium-high speed until the cream separates into butter and buttermilk. This process takes about 8-10 minutes.
Cover to prevent splatter
Cover the mixer with a kitchen towel once the mixture starts separating.
Strain the buttermilk
Strain the buttermilk through a colander and save it for other recipes like pancakes or biscuits.
Rinse the butter
Rinse the butter in ice water, squeezing out any remaining buttermilk until the water runs mostly clear.
Season and store
Mix in salt if desired, then transfer to a butter dish or airtight container and refrigerate.
