How to Make Butter in the Thermomix

Making homemade butter in the Thermomix is really easily with these helpful tips.

Making butter in the Thermomix could not be easier and is a great way to use up discounted cream that’s nearing its use by date.  It’s also cheaper and minus the additives found in store bought butter.

Here are a few helpful tips on making homemade butter in the Thermomix

• Use chilled full fat whipping cream – if it’s a hot day then place the TM bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes beforehand. It’s recommended not to whip more than 600 mls at a time.
• Wash and drain the butter several times until the water runs clear – this helps it to last longer
• Unsalted butter should be eaten in a few days but with the addition of salt it will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks
• Butter can be frozen – a great way to do this is roll it into a sausage shape and wrap tightly in cling film
• The time taken for the cream to separate will depend on the freshness of the cream and how chilled it is
• You can keep the buttermilk for making waffles, pancakes and in baking etc.
