You can use your KA mixer to make butter as well. It's really easy that way.

Here's a good article.

One of the best things about making your own butter is what you can put in it. I love doing a garlic and herb butter to put on top of steaks as they come off the grill.

On my website I have recipes for different compound butters. You can make your own butter and customize it !

Can I make this using my hand mixer, and if so, about how long did I need to mix it for? Don't want to burn up the mixer!!

Yes, you can use your hand mixer you'll know when it separates and you have butter doesn't take long.If you want spreadable butter 1/4 c. canola oil 1 stick real butter whip together and you have spreadable butter.

Prairiehen-I just saw your answer to my question about using my hand mixer to make butter--thanks but I am wondering how long in minutes--less than 10 min or 15 minutes or longer? And about adding canola oil, would I add that after I get my butter made and washed?

Less than 10 minutes. You will know it's butter because the buttermilk will separate from the butter. I don't put oil in mine.

I purchased some raw cream yesterday and it's sitting in the fridge. I gather it should be at room temp before I attempt to turn it into butter?

It's been years since I've had the good old raw jersey milk to skim the heavy top cream off to make real butter after the butter seperates from the whey rinse the butter in ice water get your hands in it and squeeze the water out of it mold it how ever you like. You will not burn up your mixer butter is what happens when you whip your cream for whipped cream too long. Yes, you can whip the canola oil in after you get all the water out of the butter, add a little salt to taste. Thats only if you want to streach your butter and have it be easy to spread right out of the icebox.
