Part 2/5:
Before you start mixing, taking a small, but important step can enhance your results. Chill your mixing bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will help the cream thicken more quickly as you whip it, which is essential for achieving that perfect butter texture.
Mixing the Cream
Once your bowl is chilled, pour in the cold heavy cream. Sprinkle in the salt to add flavor. Using a hand mixer or a blender, begin mixing on medium speed. At this stage, don’t be alarmed if the cream initially turns into whipped cream. This is a normal step in the process; keep mixing until you reach the butter stage.
