Just found these:

During butter production, most of the water-soluble components in milk, including lactose, are removed, thereby reducing the lactose content in butter to <0.1%.
Thought I should check properly before I cause problems for your husband!
The last one is very interesting and explains quite a lot about how lactose free dairy is achieved.

Sorry Kate x posted.

Sorry I can't post a link to the cultured butter article but if you Google it several seem to appear.

Thank you NotSpaghetti . I'll take a look at those.

Lots of recipes online , I used just cream and salt.
I put a plastic blade on the processor and pulsed for 3/4 minutes.
Put the butter in a sieve and rinsed a few times then shaped and refrigerated.
Easy and delicious.

I've just made some butter in the food processor using a large carton of double cream which was left over after visitors. Added some sea salt.
I drained off the buttermilk through a sieve lined with muslin and squeezed the butter in the muslin.
It's in the fridge in a plastic box.
It tastes good but we'll eat it fairly quickly in case it doesn't keep well.

There was rather a lot of washing up afterwards!

this is a regular item on facebooks reduce your supermarket spend, people buying reduced cream, making butter, some add garlic to it, if you have made more than you need at the moment, then freeze it. for anyone looking for recipes and reducing spending it is a good page to join.

Well ... why ?

Well ... why ?

It was better than pouring a large carton of cream away, that's why!

You don't need a processor, it can be done in a lidded jar, lots of shaking and a really good workout !

I have a Kilner butter churn that my grandchildren put to good use every summer. They get so excited when the butter finally materialises. Then it goes on to home made bread along with jam made from fruit we’ve grown on the allotment. Delicious. ?

Yes, I knew that but didn't feel up to shaking ?

A friend who had frequent access to heavily discounted cream at her local supermarket said she used to sit watching TV and rolling the jar with her feet I did the shaking way once my arms ached for hours!

Oh I like the idea of the Kilner butter churn grannyactivist

I made some a couple of months ago, still got a small pot in the freezer. I happened to be in M&S late one afternoon and they were marking down big pots of cream, only took a quick whirl, rinse, squeeze and I had butter. OH refused to eat it as he prefers his regular stuff (bog standard butter). I have used it for cooking and with bread with my homemade jam & marmalade.
