View attachment 1328400 View attachment 1328399 Made homemade butter today and bread (I cheated using a bread maker ) but the butter was super easy to make. I seasoned it with salt and put it in a spare clover tub I had in the cupboard! I love uncut bread so I can cut it doorstop style for beans and toast haha.

I’m sure it’s probably already on here but just in case; butter was made from two 600ml pots of British double cream, whisked until the ‘milk’ separated from the butter, then the milk was drained. I washed the butter in cold water till the water ran clear and then pressed the remaining water out of the butter using spoons

Gracie, I don't believe I've seen anyone share how they do butter on this thread, so thank you for sharing!

Things don't always taste like you think they would based on the ingredients. I make a steak that is completely smothered with cracked black peppercorns. Based on all the pepper on it you might think it would be hot to the taste but it isn't.

Yes we like ours that way also we are all pepper fans here
