Butter Making

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Collect cream in a covered jar until sufficient quantity is obtained.

  2. Allow the cream to sour by keeping it for a while.

  3. Churn the sour cream until butter forms.

  4. Once the butter has formed, remove it from the churn and wash it in water.

  5. Knead the butter while washing to remove as much whey as possible until the water is clear.

  6. If making salt butter, add salt immediately after churning and washing.
