HennyPenny Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 This time last year, I was taking part in the London Marathon. This year, while watching it on TV, I decided to try and make butter a la Home Farmer mag....and succeeded! The strange thing is, I feel almost as proud of my achievement this year - and it didn't take anywhere near the time or hurt nearly as much!! Think I'll stick to this for exercise now!

HennyPenny Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 I got Richard to take a photo of the finished article but I've got no idea how to put it on here! Have to say, it was delicious spread on the last slices of home-made bara brith! Can you tell I'm on holiday? Anyone who can tell me about photos?

Lailapet Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Your butter looks yummy!!!! Well done! I'll NEVER run a marathon, but I think I'll have a go at making butter next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HennyPenny Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Sorry for stretching the page! The bit they don't mention in the mag is that, after about 5 minutes, all you have is whipped cream, spread all around the milk carton and you feel a bit daft shaking something that feels empty. But carry on and then all of a sudden you see something yellow appear and it all moves about again. It gives you such an incredible sense of satisfaction. I put it into little ramekins in the fridge so I can get one out each day to use. Today's has been used up already as I've just made a rhubarb crumble! Richard's now using the buttermilk to make bread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 it look lovely, I'm going to have to give it go at some point. I love homemade bread, still warm with lashings of butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Looks fab. Any buttermilk left? Lovely in scones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Mmmmm I'm just about to get some bread out of the oven, can I pop around for some butter, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Going to get some cream tomorrow.. it looks so nice, and it'll do the bat wings good.. Any excersise is better than no excersise! Been at alake all weekend while the son windsurfs at County level for RYA. Freezing!! But pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well done and a great picture. ASDA has cream 400ml double reduced on offer to £1 this weekend and I bought some yesterday and made mine in the kenwood - I have bad joints and all that shaking etc...... It is very yummy and from a 400ml cream carton I got 320g butter - not bad really. And I made scones with the buttermilk and the butter - they were the best.

Swinnys Hinny Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It was raining and cold here today so I decided to make some thick vegetable soup, home made bread with some of the butter to top it off nicely.... The butter was surprisingly easy to make (10 mins max) and really does taste very good. SH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
