Just out of the oven .....

Just need to sort out the cream, only have a fork to whip it with, very tired now.

Finished, and now for the good bit.

They look yummy, it's a lot of work whipping that cream isn't it & with a fork good man, just a bit longer and you can make butter

Where did you buy your buttermilk ?

They had it in Rimping, but too expensive so I cheated and used full cream milk + 10% fresh lime juice.

About 10 minutes to whip the cream with a fork, I put bowl, fork and cream in the freezer for 15 minutes first to make it easier.

Ahhhh it's the ratio for buttermilk I got wrong - Thank you.

Flour ? I use Waitrose Self Rising it doesn't rise & I've added extra baking powder and still flat.

Hello All, you can make whip cream by shaking in a jar

with a tight lid.
