FAQ
Q: Can I use a food processor instead of a mixer?
A: Absolutely! A food processor works just as well and often speeds up the process.

Q: What type of cream should I use?
A: Use heavy cream or whipping cream with at least 35% fat for the best results.

Q: Is it necessary to rinse the butter?
A: Yes, rinsing helps remove remaining buttermilk, which can cause the butter to spoil faster.

Q: Why is my butter not forming?
A: Be patient. If your cream is too warm, it may take longer. Chill the bowl and try again.
