never even thought of making my own butter - brilliant will be on the search for reduced price cream now - thanks! I love this site!

I never buy butter now. I just make butter using double cream in my kenwood chef - and use the butter to make scones and american buttermilk pancakes ... delish ...

The butter freezes well too.

This is utterly scrummy. Delia's custard.

Just finished making lots of butter - not tried it yet going to refrigerate for a while first. Very Very easy to make with a kenwood chef, not that messy either - considering the mess I always make anyhow.

Thanks for all your replies

What do you do to turn it into butter? do you need to add salt?

Just follow the link in the first reply - explains everything on how to do it. All you are doing is whipping the cream, but going past the whipped cream stage - I added salt at the very end at the rate of 1/4 teaspoon to 115g butter - I made about 1.5 kilo from 4 pints double cream

Hi I have three tubs of double cream that need to be used up.I have just got into freezing meals for the freezer, so im looking for a dish or two(savory) I could make for the freezer. I did remember seeing one that was sliced potatoes and cheese (which I also have a lot of) but I cant find the recipe?
thanks. suzy

or you could freeze the cream as it is (I have two tubs in there frozen myself...)
