When I was little, the milk man came via horse-drawn carriage. Raw milk with cream on the top. The horse knew the route & timing of deliveries. If the milk man got chatty at any house, the horse would move to the next without him. LOL My nan had a motorized jar for butter making.

My grandmother milked her cow every morning and evening. A bit after the morning milking ( she cooked breakfast for the hands)she gathered the cream from the night before and the morning ( separating it from the milk) and made butter in her wooden churn, she usually added some salt according to how much cream she had, and it didn’t seem like it took very long at all to make, then she washed the butter in cool water, put it and the “buttermilk” in the fridge to cool. This was an every day event, even before church on Sunday. She canned her family’s vegetables and fruits, dried what was feasible, kept chickens in heavily salted butter in the 34degree water in the spring house, it stayed good all through till the following early summer and was delicious. My grandfather slaughtered and butchered hogs and steers in the fall. Salting followed by smoking for the pork, while ageing the beef for 10 days before cutting it and freezing (he got a freezer in 1957, before that he dried all the beef that we couldn’t use fresh.) When I was a young wife I was making whipped cream when my mixer died. I decided my blender should work just fine for it. I got instant butter! I hadn’t put any sugar in yet, so I mixed a bit of salt in and it was great! 2 seconds in the blender and butter! I was amazed, and immediately thought how great it would have seemed to my grandmother!

@Marylmac 3 жыл бұрын

I always made butter really easily back when the kids were young. I'd milk the cow twice a day...then put the milk in the fridge for 2 days, to allow the cream to come to the top, and make butter what the old fashioned hand whisk, the one with the ballbearings on the round thing. It would be ready to wash in a few mins, then I'd get the sliced bread out of the freezer, spread the freshly made butter on it, make the kids school lunches and then if there was any butter left...I'd keep on buttering bread and put it back in the freezer. Then on the weekends, I'd use all the cream to make extra butter for use during the week, on veggies etc.

My grandma used to make butter with a ceramic crock and a wooden dasher. She'd do far more washings until the water was crystal clear. Then, she'd roll it out super thin and sprinkle far more salt than you used. I asked her once about all that salt. She said salt was the most important part because it got all of the water out. From there, she kneaded the butter for what seemed like hours to me (as a small child). I remember being amazed at how much liquid poured out. When she was done, the butter was twice to three times the yellow of margarine or butter you see in the store...almost a canary yellow. It was the best stuff! And, nothing beat the biscuits and cornbread cooked with that buttermilk!

Growing up on a dairy farm we always made our own butter. Most of the milk cows were holsteins for volume but we also kept a few jerseys for cream. The holsteins were machine milked but we hand milked the jerseys and poured the pail into a De'laval hand crank cream separator. Sadly these ingenious machines are mostly gathering rust as lawn art nowadays. The cream was then hand churned in a butter crock, salted to taste. In summer we kept it in a milk can lowered into a hand dug 20 ft. well to keep it cool. New potatoes ( yes in Canada we spell it with an e ) right out of the garden or fresh baked bread with home made butter are some of my best childhood memories

My dad was a good ole farm boy & he always called skim milk "blue john" because it had a bluish tint. He grew up during the Great Depression on that farm. He was a little peculiar about butter... he didn't like butter because it could be made at home. He liked margarine because it had to be bought at the grocery store, making it seem special to him. One of his favorite treats was to crumble a slice of cornbread into a cold glass of buttermilk & eat it with a spoon.

you can also use live cultured yogart, set milk out at about 70 to 75 degrees and add 2 tbl yogart pet pint heavy cream when you notice a slight foaming on top and the cream has thickened slightly ( 8 to 12 hrs ) its ready to churn into butter. you may also notice a soft slight sour or tangy aroma as the yogart culture grows. additionally if you can find raw cream good luck unless you can buy direct from farm most states regulate stores cant sell raw milk or cream. if you do buy from store get the heavy cream and look for type that IS NOT ultra-pasteurized they can cause issue making butter. i also took a large diameter rolling pin and made a modified V shape teeth down length to duplicate the old roller grand parents had

Making butter was my Saturday chore when we went back to the land as kids in the early 70’s. My Dad rigged one of the big blue water barrels into an old side mounted barrel churn that had an up/down bar handle. It was in the dirt basement and I had my transistor radio playing so that I couldn’t hear the mice. We had a retired purebred Guernsey…that’s a lot of milk and cream for a family of 4. I was thinking last night that Dad would have loved channels like yours. When he died the thing I really wanted was the copy if The Have More Plan. I loved going through that book with him.❤

I used to make butter when I worked at a small boutique cheese factory. We used an old agitator washing machine and made large quantities at a time. It worked brilliantly and the butter formed into big 'marbles'. The enamelled bowl was easy to scrub and drain with boiling water to flush and sanitise the whole machine. I was also great for washing the cheese cloths after making quark.

When I pour off my buttermilk from a shaker jar, I repeat the shaking for a couple more minutes and pour off more buttermilk. You will know when to stop shaking. I then pour cool water into the jar and continue to shake. This is my process of kneading, This helps keep the kids working also. Remember, once you add water to the butter, the milk you generate does not go into the buttermilk jar. You are also not using as much water. Great video. Also, remember you can add flavors to the butter when it is still workable. What flavors? Experiment, at the Iowa State Fair, I made everything from Chocolate butter, Root beer butter, Lemon, Onion, Shichimi and others. Once again, great video.

When I was a child on the farm, my aunt lived about 5 miles away. They had chickens and milk cows. We had pigs and black angus and huge gardens. So we would share back and forth. Every other day she would come by in the evening and drop off a gallon of fresh milk. The next morning Granny had a churn (the old fashion kind with a wooden plunger) set up for me to churn after I ate breakfast and while waiting for the schoolbus. When I got home there was fresh butter for any leftover biscuits or homemade bread to snack on before I started evening chores. I also used to fill up the jar shake it and hand it off to my kids. They loved it and the butter. I also did the jar method with my pre-school class back when I was a teacher. Thanks for the tips. Can't wait to try this in my suburban homestead!

When scalding the milk you have to watch it carefully and as soom as you see the surface moving, just the start of a simmer, you turn it off and take off heat.

I’ve always shaken butter out in the same half-gallon blue Ball jar since I was growing up on our dairy in Eagle, Idaho, forty years ago, and it always comes out within 15 minutes just fine, regardless of season or temperature. Generally speaking, sweet butter is made in Spring, cultured butters are made in late Summer. When we clabbered milk and cream for culturing, we always left it from Monday to Monday. If your butter is slimy, you have gotten your cream too hot and not pressed it out well enough during washing.

I must give making my own a shot. My aunt in Ireland used to make it in her own churn using cream from her own cows - she and my uncle had a farm - and send a block to us every now and then here in Sheffield, England. I imagine the flavour of the butter is determined by the grass the cows eat and the soil it grows in so the country or the area of the country. My aunt's butter was the best ever. Thanks. I have a blender and a food processor so can try making it with either or both.

I haven't made butter since I was a kid at summer camp, but this definitely makes me want to try it, again. Think I will wait until the cream is better...for the record, I didn't know there was a season for that. but it definitely stands to reason. Thanks so much for posting this inspiring and detailed 'how-to'!!!

S0 excited to have come across this video - all the way here in South Africa! I have been buying milk (sometimes raw) from a local diary and making ricotta or labneh with it. Using the cream to make my own butter is definitely next week's project.

* NOTE: The process of churning/making butter quicker is to freeze the creme first.

THE FATAL BUTTER A report out on the butter making today: I was way up in the garden today planting a shootload of strawberries, tomatoes, and peppers. The wife, V. was busy vacuum sealing flour....and making butter. By pre-arrangement she was to turn on the garden water to my long and ancient piping when I gave her a call. Eventually I called. She was yelling THE BUTTER IS *EVIL!* Well, that was certainly different. Following the advice of H Family I had put a new quart of Some Value cream and yesterday's non butter whipped cream out to warm at room temp a bit. She dumped the whole thing into the bowl. As you recall yesterday the fridge temp stuff just wouldn't make after much stirrings with the Kitchen Aid. So today, V started the process, watched it for 5 minutes and then wandered off to hang up a couple of shirts. That was a mistake. When she came back to the kitchen she said the mixer didn't sound like it did before. Aha! In her absence the butter made. Poof! Butter! The mixer, being ignorant, kept spinning that new magic glob around sloshing buttermilk everywhere! V was not pleased. But she did eventually turn the water on for me. (I really didn't want to be anywhere near the kitchen anyway.) Takeaway is...butter is evil. Evil works in darkness. Keep your eye on the cream. Always. Epilogue: That butter tasted mighty good on a piece of bread a few minutes ago!

I still have my grandmother's butter mold. I helped her churn with the old muscles in a churn. When we put the butter in the mold, the rest of the buttermilk/liquid out at the bottom. We drank raw milk all the time. It took some getting used to but I know it had to be good for us. Thank you for showing people this video! We kept our butter and milk in our spring house. Yum! I want to try goat's milk. Easier and cheaper to feed than a cow I'm guessing. Bless you!.💕

I loved your video. I was getting ready to make butter when I happened to come across this video. Perfect timing!, Good to get some tips from you. Thank you! I have been making butter a few months now using organic cream from Straus creamery. They use glass bottles for their cream top milk and cream. I found by accident after my cream froze in my propane fridge that it separated and made butter quicker . I have a pint bottle out now bring to room temperature to shake in the jar...
