Affix the wire whisk accessory to a KitchenAid® stand mixer. Add heavy cream to the mixing bowl. Attach the pouring shield. Start the mixer on the slowest setting, gradually raising the speed to the fastest setting.
The cream will go through three stages: soft peaks, then stiff peaks and finally the butter solids will separate from the buttermilk. Once you see the butter solids separate, stop the stand mixer and pour out the buttermilk.
Transfer the butter to a fine mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Using a spatula, press the butter into the sieve to remove any excess buttermilk.
Clean the KitchenAid® stand mixer bowl, then return the butter to it. Add ¼ cup of ice-cold water to the bowl then whip the butter again for around 10 seconds to 'wash' the butter and get rid of any excess buttermilk.
Pour out any water remaining in the bowl. Replace the whisk accessory with the flat beater. Add any ingredients you want to flavor the butter to the bowl and beat until they are just combined.
