Food Academy - Making butter from cream and Buttermilk Flapjacks.

Making Butter and Buttermilk from cream

Pour 1 cup of cream into a yoghurt container, secure the lid well and shake vigorously for 15 minutes.
The cream will whip then begin to clot and finally forming butter.
Once the butter has become a big lump, unscrew the lid and carefully collect the buttermilk. The butter can placed in the fridge or freezer to keep.
