Shake cream into butter and eat it warm

“Halfway through, your arm aches and it looks like you have wrecked the cream. Then it splits, and you are holding butter you made.”

The Recipe

  1. Half-fill a jar with cold heavy cream, screw the lid on tight, and shake hard.
  2. Keep shaking past the point where it turns to whipped cream, until a solid lump breaks away from a thin liquid.
  3. Pour off the liquid, work in a little salt, and eat the butter on bread while it is still soft.
