Bon Appétit test kitchen manager, Brad Leone, is back with the second episode of "It’s Alive," and this time he’s taking you to school, making tangy, creamy, salty cultured butter. Will it be boring? Nope. Is the process scientifically accurate? Maybe. Will there be jokes and made-up words? Most likely. Will you learn about butter? Of course. Get those churning hands ready, buy some buttermilk, cream, and grab some bread. It’s Butter. It’s Alive.
Store-bought butter comes in all types, shapes, and sizes but there's something unmistakably satisfying (and delicious) about making your own at home.

Food Editor Shilpa Uskokovic loved peanut butter cups so much while growing up that she’s created a grown up take on her childhood favorite. This hazelnut butter cup tart looks exactly like a giant Reese’s peanut butter cup and will rival anything you’d find in the candy aisle.
Join Rick in the Test Kitchen as he makes toffee cookies! Using chocolate wafers instead of chips is a cookie game-changer. They spread as they melt, creating thin pockets of chocolate in each layer, and stay much softer at room temperature.

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes apple cider doughnuts. These sugared doughnuts are craggy and crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. Apple butter (not sauce!) is key to their texture and flavor; look for it alongside jams and jellies in the supermarket, or at farmers’ markets, or make your own.

When you’re decorating, no need to panic if your first attempts don’t work out. Simply wipe off the failed glaze, let the cookie dry for about five minutes, and try again.
