How to make your own butter with a mixer

Why make something that you've been buying your whole life? Well, it's fresh, folksy, and environmentally-friendly. Make your own butter with a mixer.

You will need:
6 organic heavy cream, preferably unpasteurized
a stand mixer with a whisk attachment
a kitchen towel or plastic wrap
a large mesh strainer
a bowl
clean hands
parchment paper or a butter bowl
a refrigerator
1 tsp salt
excellent bread, fresh or toasted

Tip: if you prefer salted butter, add a teaspoon of salt to the butter and blend it by hand.
