1. Add double cream. Whip at Speed 5 until the butter separates from the buttermilk, stopping to scrape down the sides of TM bowl if necessary.
2. Strain through the internal steaming basket over a bowl, reserving the buttermilk for baking - it makes lovely scones.
3. Place the butter back into the TM bowl. Add 500g cold water. Mix 10 seconds/Speed 4 to wash the butter. Strain and form the butter into a log, gently squeezing out all the water. Wrap in greaseproof paper and chill in the fridge.

The Cooking Monster's Tip: I use the Butterfly Whisk in option 1, I find it works better.
