Butter

Did you know the TM makes butter in just one to three minutes - depending on the freshness of the cream you use? It's so easy, and as a bonus you have buttermilk left over to make some yummy buttermilk bread, scones, or for soaking your grains in overnight.
To make butter, simply put 500-600g of chilled cream (minimum 35% fat content, preferably with no thickeners) in TM and with butterfly in place, blend for 1-3 minutes on speed 4 (maximum speed for butterfly) until it separates - you will hear when this happens.  Strain the buttermilk from the bowl and remove butterfly.  Place 500g of cold water into bowl and mix on speed 4 for 5-10 seconds, strain again and 'voila' - lovely fresh butter!
