The
3/4 Cup Milk
1/3 Cup Butter
1 Tbsp Flour
Start by melting your butter in a mug in the microwave.
Pour the melted butter in to your measured 3/4 Cup of milk and stir it together.
If you are like us Bears and drink a lower percentage of milk (we drink 1%) then it is best to add in 1 Tbsp of flour to help thicken up your cream up.
That's all she wrote...simple isn't it? You can use this mixture in place of 1 Cup of Heavy Cream in a recipe. The only thing that you have to be aware of; is that this particular substitute will not whip so you cannot use it in a whip cream mode...but it is handy for many other reasons.
Stay tuned for my quiche recipe later this week that uses this Substitute....Happy Tip Tuesday!
What a smart idea! Afterall, cream is just milk with a higher fat content.
ReplyDelete@Meghan...Wish I had thought to look into this option sooner...would have saved me all those extra trips to the store. With no coffee drinkers in the house we have to go out of our way to keep this on hand as we need it.
DeleteCould I substitute the butter for anything else? Like oil? Or peanut butter?
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of...this is a substitute for cream you buy in the store and oil based products will not produce the same thickness wanted when required to use heavy cream. If you find another substitute for the butter let me know :D
