To Make Butter
Ingredients
Directions
Churn the fresh cream until butter forms.
Open the churn and gather the butter with both hands.
Remove the butter from the buttermilk and place it in a clean bowl or earthen pan.
If using fresh, fill the pan with clean water and work the butter until firm and moisture-free.
Slice the butter with a knife to remove any impurities.
Spread the butter thin in a bowl and mix in the desired amount of salt.
