peanut12 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 BUTTER that I made myself I saw an article in Homefarmer and never realised how easy it is. So I tried it and it was gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daj198 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Wow, that's so cool! How did you do it? I assume you bought the milk/cream... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut12 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Put double cream in a pot with the lid on. Shake vigourously until it separates. Pour off buttermilk and chop in with a knife under a trickle of cool water. Add salt and Bob's your uncle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 There has been quite a lot of discussion in the Nesting Box........ or was it All Things Nice? Quite a few people have been making it - and really enjoyed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chili pepper Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I remember doing that at school Might give it a go, what do you mean when you say 'chop in with a knife under a trickle of running water' Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I remember doing that at school Might give it a go, what do you mean when you say 'chop in with a knife under a trickle of running water' Sorry I was wondering that too!

peanut12 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 apparently, if you run the butter under a slow trickle of water, whilst running the blade of a knife thorugh it it helps to smooth it. (I think that's what it does) Anyway, i was so pleased with my own effort I got one of my classes to make their own today. it's great to see a group of 16 year olds shaking a bottle like crazy Then we used the butter on some hot-cross buns and the rest has been donated to breakfast club in the morning. They loved it - and for a bunch of 16 year olds - they actually said "It was cool" Praise indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daj198 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hehehe, this 16 year old if definately going to try it! It'd be great to use cream from your own cow... the smallholder's dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
