💥 LONG POST ALERT 💥

The Difference between our Milk and the Milk from Supermarkets.

Ever wondered how long it takes for milk to go from the cow to the supermarket shelf?

The journey of Supermarket Milk:〽️🚛📉⛔️

On the vast majority of British dairy farms, milk is collected in tankers and transported for hundreds of miles all over the country and stored in containers, before even beginning to be processed.
Once at a processing plant the milk is pasteurised to kill any harmful bacteria. It is then ‘standardised’ which means all of the butterfat (cream) is removed and then added back, in controlled amounts to form the whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed milk types.
The cream is then discarded or used for other things. What a shame to lose all the original cream from your milk!
The next process is ’homogenisation’ in which the milk is forced through a machine to break up all the fat particles to make them the same size. In this form they uniformly spread through the milk and do not rise to the top to form the cream layer.

Next the milk is packaged in plastic cartons. An inert gas is then injected into the tops of the cartons to enable a longer shelf life
Once packaged the milk is then transported back out around the country and arrives in the supermarkets, potentially up to ONE WEEK after leaving the cow (sometimes the supermarkets just up the road from the farm - what a long journey!), plus most milk in a supermarket typically then has a week or more shelf life added to it!
All the natural wholesome vitamins and minerals present in milk are delicate. These are damaged and lost during the long periods of transportation and by being pumped through many pipes during the processing procedure, the fat in the milk also becomes oxidised during this time, which can affect the taste.
So the milk that gets to your fridge is a lot older (can be up to several weeks in fact) and much more processed.

Our Milk's journey: ♻️🚜🐄

Our milk is milked from the cow and pasteurised in less than thirty minutes. As fresh as you can get it, with all the wholesome fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals still intact. Our milk is never more than 24 hours old before it is in and ready for Delivery
We hope you will be able to taste the difference and enjoy it!

We are one of only a couple of Dairies in the COUNTRY that deal directly with farmers and not with 3rd parties.

Method
STEP 1
Put 100g plain flour and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.

STEP 2
Make a well in the centre and crack 2 eggs into the middle.

STEP 3
Pour in about 50ml from the 300ml of semi-skimmed milk and 1 tbsp sunflower oil then start whisking from the centre, gradually drawing the flour into the eggs, milk and oil. Once all the flour is incorporated, beat until you have a smooth, thick paste. Add a little more milk if it is too stiff to beat.

STEP 4
Add a good splash of milk and whisk to loosen the thick batter. While still whisking, pour in a steady stream of the remaining milk. Continue pouring and whisking until you have a batter that is the consistency of slightly thick single cream.

STEP 5
Heat the pan over a moderate heat, then wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.

STEP 6
Ladle some batter into the pan, tilting the pan to move the mixture around for a thin and even layer. Quickly pour any excess batter into the mixing bowl, return the pan to the heat.

STEP 7
Leave to cook, undisturbed, for about 30 secs. If the pan is the right temperature, the pancake should turn golden underneath after about 30 secs and will be ready to turn.

STEP 8
Hold the pan handle, ease a palette knife under the pancake, then quickly lift and flip it over. Make sure the pancake is lying flat against the base of the pan with no folds, then cook for another 30 secs before turning out onto a warm plate.

STEP 9
Continue with the rest of the batter, serving them as you cook or stack onto a plate. You can freeze the pancakes for 1 month, wrapped in cling film or make them up to a day ahead.
