A Lurpak bake off!

by - 08:59

Lurpak have recently launched their new Lurpak Slow churned butter, which is inspired by traditional production methods.  It is made by slowly churning cream over five hours in small batches.  Lurpak claims this results in a fuller tasting flavour, well we had to put this to the test!

The girls and I made two batches of cookies, well I can't think of anything better really.  Once batch used Lurpak slow churned and the other used a supermarket own brand butter.  We followed the following recipe, after I managed to convince my daughter it was a bowl and not a hat!

hat or bowl?

Ingredients

250g Plain flour
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
170g unsalted butter

1 tbsp Vanilla extract
2 Eggs
325g Chocolate chips

Method 

1. Preheat oven to 170C, Gas mark 3.  Grease baking trays

After the cookies had cooled down it was time to put them to the taste test.  Each batch was placed on a different plate and sure enough one plate disappeared much faster than the other
