2025 - Today's Recipe

Freezer pizza with home made chips and mangoraya sauce for tea tonight. I couldn't be bothered cooking proper food, so a quick meal and pretty tasty too actually.

In the last couple of weeks I have managed to make butter though - really tasty on toast! I have baked bread too, and it's heavenly, although it gives me heartburn lol

Making butter sounds interesting. Just beating cream till it separates or in a proper churn?  I seem to remember experimenting with making butter in my younger days and using ridged paddles to form butter pats. I think I came to the conclusion that going to the shops to buy it was a lot easier 

It was a cool experiment! I used the kitchen aid, as I had so much cream, and it took probably a good ten minutes before it split out into butter solids and butter milk. You then have to rinse it out - squeeze it in a bowl of water so you get all the butter milk out. Yes, it's a bit faffy. I like really salty butter and could add as much as I like, and it tastes amazing. It goes very hard in the fridge though, so next time I'll add the extra step of mixing in oil, to make it more spreadable.
