DO IT YOURSELF BETTER BUTTER

Butter is one of those ubiquitous ingredients found in almost all homes and restaurants .
Butter can be used as a spread , a condiment , a fat , it can be used in baking , sauces and pan frying .
To make butter you need 1 litre of cream , this will make about 500gm of butter .
Place the cream in in the bowl of your electric beater and start beating at a low setting , moving up the setting to high until the cream starts to separate.( 5-10 minutes ).
The white liquid that remains is buttermilk , which can be used in baking or pancakes .
Remove the buttermilk and roll the butter together .
Rinse the butter under cold water , if there is still white liquid beading out , knead it in cold water .
Gently tab the butter with a clean tea towel and there you have it homemade butter .
You can use the butter straight away , or add a sprinkle of salt , garlic or herbs .
The butter freezes well .
