Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Homemade butter may not naturally spring to mind as a good holiday gift, but I've found that paired with a small jar of jam or honey, it makes a wonderful present that people are thrilled to receive. Making butter is easy, especially if you have a stand mixer. I use the paddle attachment to agitate one pint of cream for approximately 10 minutes, until the whey begins to separate from fat globules (until it looks like this).
Strain the butter, put it into a small bowl and rinse with icy cold water. Using a wooden spoon, work the butter to smooth it and squeeze any remaining water out of the butter. The more moisture you can remove, the better. Pack the butter into a small jar (I used an wide mouth, eight ounce canning jar) and refrigerate. If you want to get fancy, just prior to gifting, sprinkle the top of the butter with flaky sea salt.

If you want people to make butter for real, (very cool), you should have a detailed recipe to follow along with pictures. As is, this is more of an article than a useful and fun recipe.
I'm not trying to be a jerk. I was just very pumped when I came across the article and was disappointed because I really couldn't make the butter. It's a great idea, help a guy out dude.

Also, Scott, where does the buttermilk result from? Is it what is left after pressing he liquid out of the resulting butter product?
