Double butter from one block

ceridwen

1 packet butter
150 ml olive oil
80 ml milk

all blitzed together in a liquidizer.

I've also used watered-down milk instead of "straight" milk (ie 2 parts milk to one part water) and thats been okay too.

Glad you found the recipe ceridwen. I'll add this to the original thread as others may be interested in the recipes. This thread may be of interest too:

can i ask what kind of yield this gives?

the cheapest butter i can find is 98p for 250g
and i always buy asdas olive gold spread, £1.97 per kg

its not going to work out any cheaper is it?

I've just crammed to the top one of those takeaway food size plastic containers with it and had a tiny tiny bit over.

Don't know what that amounts to as a yield...

My reason for making it actually is because I often cant find organic bread spread and don't want to buy conventional bread spread (because I don't know what oil/s they will have used in it and suspect it might be rapeseed oil). Don't like the idea of rapeseed oil - as I've read that its often from g*netically-modified rapeseed or contaminated by some that has been...

So - it's a food quality issue - not a price issue with me as to why I make it.

i agree not everything is about price
but i would be concerned that the milk would go off before i used such a quantity though

Thats not a problem - ie the milk going off. I keep it in the fridge anyway and just take it out each time I want it. Another reason I make this is because butter cant be spread straight out of the fridge - but this can
