Making my own butter! (merged)

valk_scot

I used to have a butter making attachment for my Kenwood Chef but unfortunately it got damaged, so I haven't made butter for a long time. I'm interested in hearing that the K-beater can be used. I'd appreciate a quck description of the method, or is it just a question of whipping the cream till it goes past the grainy stage and seperates out fully?

My lovely hubby bought reduce extra thick cream, am I correct in thinking this can still be used for butter making?

Alison_Funnell

Yes it can! Whipped in the FP till solid then transferred to a large easi yo pot for the final shaking. Remarkable easy, even thought the cream was straight out of an very cold fridge.

Hi there
It makes lovely butter, I had 4 pots reduced to 15p each the other night and now have well over 1lb butter in my freezer ! Plus I had about 1.5 pints buttermilk which I used to make pancakes and some lovely scones

Have a try

I'd love to have a go at this, so will look out for some reduced cream. I have a food processor, but only the one with the medal blade that chop and that I use for breadcrumbs; making pastry etc. Can someone please confirm that I can make butter with these kind of blades in a food processor.

Thanks
