Making Butter

[Ric.ror]

Is there any way I could make butter from semi skimmed milk?
I don't have any and it's cold out there
TIA

I think you would have to have full cream milk to make butter and it takes a while for it to happen anyway, can't you 'nip' somewhere and get a pack or have marg ..yuk... If you are pushed?

[pastafreak]

No,very unlikely,as not enough fat. You would need double cream. Do you have any?

[EcclesCake]

No where near enough fat in semi skimmed to make butter.

Since butter is made by churning cream I don't think you have any chance. When I was a boy I took the cream off the milk (not homogenised in those days) and made butter from it. Since milk is homogenised nowadays you can't take off the cream and, in any case, being semi-skimmed milk, there's not much cream in it, you're fighting a losing battle.

Oh well
Cheese on toast for tea it is then
Thank you

What is it that you want the butter for? Olive oil often makes a good substitute (e.g. when cooking certain dishes or on nice, crusty bread when served with a savoury dish) but clearly not for everything.

Oh i could have had some crusty bread with oil and balsamic vinegar
I had a frozen ready meal instead but it was M&s so that's ok

Go and get some butter. You will need it for your toast in the morning.
