Bread & Butter, Home Made

It only took a few minutes in the food processor to turn a quart of heavy buttermilk into one of the tastiest butters I’ve ever had. The transition from creamy liquid into butter is almost instantaneous and is very interesting to watch.
The leftover buttermilk went into a quick and easy batch of bread machine bread. A few hours later, we had a great homemade treat.
Buttermilk costs just over $2 a quart here. The yield was just under 2 lbs of butter. That’s about a 60% savings per pound for a better product than you can buy at Safeway or QFC.
I’ll be making my own butter from now on.
