Homemade Butter and ButtermilkEpicurious

Chef Daniel Patterson of San Francisco's Coi shared this surprisingly easy recipe for making fresh butter and its delicious by-product—buttermilk—with Epicurious. The buttermilk can be used to make Patterson's Yuba "Pappardelle" with English Peas, Fava Leaves, and Basil .

Test-Kitchen Tip: Making butter can be an extremely messy process—as the buttermilk begins to separate, it will splash out of the bowl with each turn of the beaters. Even if your mixer has a splash guard, be sure to wrap sheets of plastic wrap from the rim of the bowl right over the top of the mixer (splash guard and all) to seal off any open spaces.
