Go to shop, buy butter.Dodgy69 wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 3:06 pm Attempted to make some butter after watching Tour de Fred last night. I bought some blue full fat and blended it, but nothing much happened. Think the fat content isn't high enough ( according to Google) so it doesn't separate proper.
Please advise.
Buy some proper non homo....homo...homogenised milk. Expensive but tastes like real milk. You have to shake the bottle as the cream sits on top.Dodgy69 wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 3:06 pm Attempted to make some butter after watching Tour de Fred last night.

Sounds similar to the plan my wife is on which has given good results.Docca wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 3:30 pm Got diagnosed with diabetes and immediately put on the 'Fast track remission' plan. I think that's shakes, soups and porridge.
I'm not super high blood sugar, but high enough and now several readings= diagnosis. I've kept that wolf from the door longer than I'd thought I would.
Diabetes tends to register markers for high blood pressure (mine is higher than it should be) and cholesterol (higher than it should be) but all 3 should be considered related (they are) and If I can lose 5% of body weight on fat camp in 6 months I'll almost certainly be 'diabetic in remission' and if I lose 10%, my bp and cholesterol markers will significantly drop

They poured milk into a jar with top on and shuck it for 10 ish minutes. After a bit it goes yellow and separates into butter and butter milk. They drank the butter milk and molded the butter into a solid square. Tbh, I missed the very first bit which was, what milk they used. 
Whenever I've seen them do it on TV, they use a kitchen aid style mixer and it appears you have about a 1 minute window to stop it as it splits!Dodgy69 wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 6:21 pmI was just interested after watching it on TV.weeksy wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 3:20 pmGo to shop, buy butter.Dodgy69 wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 3:06 pm Attempted to make some butter after watching Tour de Fred last night.

Either shake or whisk a carton of double cream until no further whey can be extracted. You mat have to pour off accumulated whey in stages until resulting butter is ‘dry’. The yield from full fat, blue top or hgold top will be significantly less.Dodgy69 wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 8:55 pm I probably won't bother again, but I do like real butter on toast.
