Want to know what else I have been making? My own BUTTER !!
I am so giddy about it you would think I discovered the meaning of life. I pay £2.98 for 500 gr. of my fave brand of butter (I don’t like margarine or other vegetable spreads it has to be butter) and for £1.60 I made nearly 600 gr of the most delicious butter ever, it taste just like the one my grandma used to make on the farm when I was a child.
Want to know the best bit about it? it olny takes 4 minutes to make your own butter in the Thermomix. it!!
Right I am off as I have a million things to do ready for the Harrogate Show this weekend, till next time hugs xxx
