its a long thread http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=269.255

i add the oil and the salt at the end

 quantities what ever looks right at the time  ;D. i use olive oil

i make a herb butter then i  roll it into a log and put it in the freezer, just slices it and add on top of fish or meat

auds,  it is a long thread,  but worth reading right through.  I use 2 x 600mls of thickened cream,  and add 100 mls of Rice Bran oil at the end,  plus 1 teaspoon of salt.

I don't add oil Auds but the butter and add salt at 1.2% for slightly salted and 1.7%-2.0% for fully salted.
