We made butter!

Well techically Doug startd off helping but got bored after about 3 minutes when it hadn't come together. It probably took 10 mins.
I maybe about 1/3 of a liter of cream in the kitchen aid with the wire beater and beat it on 10 until the butter came out. At which point it got a bit splattery and messy. Most things in the kitchen are covered in butter now!


I then strained the buttermilk off with a seive and mixed the butter with iced water a few times to rince out the buttermilk. Then i gathered it all together and added 1/4 tsp salt per 110g of butter. There was 115g of butter. Not really enough to make much with, but delicious and super exciting to have made. Takes a LOT of cream to make not much butter.
