Notes
Cream: It doesn't matter how much cream you use - use what you have! Double cream is also known as rich cream or heavy cream
Salt: Add salt to taste or add it in after. Use regular table salt or sea salt
Flavourings: Customise with your preferred flavours - garlic, cheese, herbs, citrus, honey or chillies all work well
Leftover liquid: This is buttermilk so keep it to use in baking or cooking, or just drink it as it is. It's delicious!
Storing: Wrap it well in baking parchment or an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze
