minus-squareCuddlyCassowary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 hours agoIs the quantity of heavy whipping cream to make a stick of butter less expensive than buying the butter itself? I’m intrigued now and might try this myself. Does it spoil faster or anything?

minus-squareBrkdncr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·5 hours ago$6 of heavy whipping cream makes about $8-$12 of butter depending on if you’re buying cheap butter or expensive butter. You also end up with a lot of buttermilk which I hate buying because I never use it all. DIY Butter doesn’t spoil any faster and can be frozen. It also just tastes a lot better.
