get thick cream 😉
yeah! 😉
We’ve done butter several times here. I add a marble (boiled to sterilise) which helps to agitate it and churn it that much quicker. It is also excellent for the children as it helps demonstrate the changes as to how audible the marble shaking is – initially it is fast and loud while the cream is still liquid, then it can get stuck in the whipped cream, then it goes fast again as it goes to curds and whey and finally it gets embedded in the butter.
We always open the jar at each stage and taste and smell each time. I also strain the butter through a muslim cloth (and Scarlett normally drinks the milk!)
Ooh, I love making butter – might get some cream and do it here too!
Wow – i think the butter making may just have been my best home-ed-mummy moment EVER!!!!!
Nic, where do you get those muslim cloths, and can you get a christian one to go with it? 😉
I knew you were a closet prairie muffin!
giggle….
lol! you know what I meant 😉 and actually it is probably the only thing I have really used the 12 pack I bought when I had Davies. For some reason I never did find them the invaluable bit of newborn baby kit that everyone else seems to. So, muslin squares – use ’em for you butter making! 🙂
Ironically, i threw out about 50 i had hoarded over the weekend and then had 2 excellent reasons for needing some today!
how can you not find Muslin useful??? Or is it only Becca that needs muslin square sized clean ups????
