Butter (and buttermilk)

Butter - you can find it in almost every households fridge. 

Buttermilk - delicious but extremely overpriced! I can never justify buying buttermilk because it’s so easy to make. 

With the thermomix, you can have butter and buttermilk in under 5 minutes. Although I never enjoy the cleaning up part :p

Ingredients

• 500-600g fresh cream (minimum fat content 35%)

Methods

1. Place Butterfly into TM bowl
2. Add cream and blend for 1-3 minutes, speed 4 to separate. The separating process takes between 1-3 minutes depending on the freshness of the cream
3. Once separated, remove the butterfly and strain the buttermilk carefully. You can use the buttermilk to in scones or bread.
4. Place 500g of cold water into TM bowl and mix for 5-10 seconds, speed 4
5. Strain liquid again and you are left with your butter. 
6. For spreadable butter, add oil and mix. You can play around and add herbs, salt, spices etc to make a delicious spreadable butter. Mix in for 30 seconds, speed 4Butter should last approximately 2 weeks stored in your refridgerator.
