Aww i'm gutted! Got out my Elmlea double cream out to make butter then read the thread posted by rosieben (thank you) and Elmlea isn't the same as normal cream so I can't use that Better go put it back in the fridge before it goes off! I'll try and get some cheap cream when i'm out tomorrow.

I got some cheap enough cream from Netto today to use for something else. The left over, I am pleased to announce I made butter from. I am actually quite proud of myself. Not sure what it tastes like as I dare not test it lol.



Only problem I had was getting all the butter milk out.

Why won't you test it?

I am a wimp, for some reason I like to make home made things but can not bring myself to taste them.

I am a very strange person lol,
