To Make Butter

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Skim the milk when the sun has not heated the dairy.

  2. Let the milk stand for 24 hours in summer and 48 hours in winter without skimming.

  3. If your dairy is warm, place the cream pot in a cool cellar.

  4. Churn the cream at least twice a week.

  5. If you cannot churn daily, transfer the cream to scalded fresh pots.
