Does anybody know how to make cream

Brilliant! Means I can make ice-cream without planning days in advance to avoid an extra an extra 6 mile round shopping trip!
Lots more icecream for me then hurrah

Note to self: Must eat less

My mum had a cream maker back when I was a nipper. I found one in a charity shop a few years ago and bought it just for nostalgic reasons. I took ages to produce cream by pumping the handle up and down. I tried putting the milk and butter in a liquidiser. It produced perfect results in seconds. I gave the cream maker away.

The more butter you use, the thicker the cream. For a pouring cream, use about 50g. of butter to 100ml. of milk. For thick cream use 100g of butter. The butter must be unsalted.

Put the butter and milk in the liquidiser and switch on. Within less than a minute you will have reconstituted cream.

I'm a bit confused now - is the heating the milk first instructions for use with the cream maker only, and use room temp butter if using a food processor?

Thanks Richie, I think I might have a go at this later on! Then I'll see whether it whips up or not. If it works I could sell my secret to all the British expats in France.

Edit: maybe if I make it really thick I'll get something like clotted cream? oooh oooh oooh I feel scones and strawberry jam coming on! I often find that slathered on thick unsalted butter almost (yeah OK , almost ) does the trick.
