This BUTTER IN A CUP would be an easy recipe to make in the classroom and send home with students for them to share with family in making fall recipes and desserts.
Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
• 1 oz plastic cups (with lids)

Preparation:

1. Pour It: Pour 2 tablespoons of heavy cream into each portion cup. Place the lid on each cup, and distribute to students.
2. Shake It: Shake the container until butter forms a soft lump. Continue to shake until buttermilk separates out of the lump and the container contains a solid lump of butter and liquid buttermilk. The process should take 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Strain It: To strain, pour off or drink the buttermilk, leaving only the solid butter. You can save the buttermilk with future uses, like baking!

Serve It: optional: Remove the lump of butter and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
