Does this need to be close to room temperature to work?<br /><br />Yesterday , it did not work until I used the food processor but by then, it was closer to room temp as well. Details in my blog today might help you answer. <br /><br />Using the same milk, same equipment, etc. <br /><br />Thank you!Hot Belly Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091048177310069079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-62371296416108015422010-10-16T00:26:09.352+10:002010-10-16T00:26:09.352+10:00I hope it's okay I referenced your blog today....I hope it's okay I referenced your blog today.

Inspired by this post, it has been on my mind to do it.<br /> I am wondering why you specified to not use cream which has stabilisers of vegetable gums in it. The cream I used was going to go out of date if I didn't do something with it, so I decided to see how it turned out, even though it has vegetable gums in it.<br /> It seems to have worked and tastes great, but I was wondering if there was a reason for using cream with no stabilisers. <br /><br /> Love your blog. :)<br /><br />JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419561109924796944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-8778682063072203752010-04-23T14:27:42.040+10:002010-04-23T14:27:42.040+10:00In my late teens I lived on a ranch in Texas.

Really makes me want to make butter - shame cream is expensive here.<br /><br />I have a degree in nutrition and I've worked as an RD and I'm convinced our problem is not saturated fats, it's gluttony and lack of exercise.

My butter is good, but I make just a little at a time cause I don't want it to spoil. How come my butter comes out white?

I mainly do it when cream it reduced, and use the Kenwood as you did. It makes fabulous butter and I love patting it into shape with my butter pats ("Scotch Hands") and on fresh bread, still warm from the oven, it's delectable! The buttermilk makes fabulous scones too.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-72619883053847540202009-11-18T21:25:59.286+10:002009-11-18T21:25:59.286+10:00I can remember helping out in the kitchen as a chi...I can remember helping out in the kitchen as a child, and sometimes, when whipping the cream for a sponge, taking it just a bit too far.
