Washing Homemade Butter

This is such a lost art. The only time I make my own butter is when I accidentally beat my cream too far lol

Can't begin to tell you how many pounds of butter I've churned.
My mother had a large, shallow wooden bowl and a wooden paddle that she'd use to wash and work the butter.
Thank you for bringing back some fond memories!

Is there any way you could please show us how to season a cast-iron skillet. Please

My mother had a milk cow.
Nothing better tasting than organic milk, butter milk, an home-made butter.

Thank You for the video.
I so miss the beautiful healthy life.

Yes Ma'am, thats I learn to do it!
Just want to say again, I really enjoy yours and your daughter's video's. Looking so forward to the next ones.

Haven't done this in decades. Shame on me, I have almost forgotten how to make butter. As I wasn't blessed with children I had nobody to pass on the knowledge too.

I make butter a couple times a week and yes I wash my butter too. You have to wash it until the water stays clear then a dash or so of salt if you prefer. I don't have a butter mold but I'd sure like to run across one. I'm making 2.5 lbs of butter every 4 days then making ghee everytime I get 10 lbs. My son is making butter and drinking milk with his family and so is my cousin and myself. One cow is providing 3 families and a flock of chickens with all the dairy we can use. We're going to try making yogurt and cream cheese as well. It takes commitment though to take care of my jersey cow and no matter what the weather I have to milk and keep her bedding clean.

I sure do miss the butter my Grandma McDonald made. She let her cream clabber first, then she churned it in her electric churn. When she and her family lived on the experimental farm in Alabama she had access to fresh milk from the dairy. Nothing compares to that “cow butter” on a hot biscuit.

Never heard of Washing butter and we made lots of it and sold or traded it in the grocery store till some government athorities said you couldn't do that anymore and the egg's to

We lived in a city close to Nashville. Mama n Daddy were from the Mountains in KY. So Mama would take us all way out in the country to the McCormick's farm and buy fresh milk. At least five gallons. Half she kept for us to drink after she skimmed the cream off it. The rest she made butter and buttermilk out of. She washed the butter just like that. I was young so don't remember the particulars. By the time I was 12 and my youngest baby sister was born she stopped going for the milk. I've never come to like the store bought milk as well. I found the Kerry Gold butter and that taste about like my Mama's, best I can remember.

Your ancestors threw their cleaned butter into the peat bogs. You can too, but be careful, it only stays fresh for a thousand years or so.

Those hands doing the work are going to be soft for days.❤

I grew up churning butter and then washing it . The churn I used belong to my grandma before she gave it to us . There wasn't and never will be anything better than homemade butter unless it was the buttermilk when you put it into a glass of cornbread .

I remember my grandmother sitting in the kitchen churning fresh milk from her Jersey cow. She would turn it out onto a dinner plate. I can still see that golden deliciousness sitting there on her table to this day 54 years ago. No butter comes close to it today. I miss my Granny and those “old days”

I loved helping my MawMaw make butter. She'd always call me to help her. Guess I was a weird kid. Always got a hot biscuit and a big pat of butter as a reward for helping her. Also homemade grape or strawberry jam. Yum yum.

I never knew one had to wash butter. Fascinating!

The "milk" in butter is called whey. The same whey as Little Miss Muffet had with curds (cottage cheese) while sitting on her tuffet. When I was a kid my dad was a milkman, and when I grew up I was a milkman. We would often bring home half gallons of outdated Manufacturing Cream. It was usually still sweet but sometimes it was starting to sour. Which made no difference because the sour flavor comes out in the whey. I would make pounds and pounds of butter and give it as gifts to my friends. One friend would always make a bunch of butter cookies and give me a few dozen of them. Yum! Butter with no salt added is called Sweet Butter. Adding salt helps preserve it longer but if you're going to use the butter right away there's no need to add salt.

Although all my butter comes from Kroger or Meijer...Never churned/washed butter..this is all very interesting...Thanks for sharing👍

More people should start making their own food products. Store bought butter has way too many chemicals in it for me. Processed food has killed more people than cancer. My Great Grandmother lived to 104. After my great grandfather passed, which was in the late 70s, she lived alone AND walked to the market a few times a week, until she was 99 years old. Ate biscuits with a ton of butter every day for breakfast. Of course she grew all of her vegetables and milked her own cow, and pretty much only bought what she couldn't grow or raise at the store. Now we have people dying in their 30's of all kinds of things. Heart attacks, cancer, strokes, you name it. I'll take my simple living and don't care who calls me a hillbilly. It's a better life for sure.

That is one of my favorite parts, washing butter! Save the buttermilk! Yum! And home churned butter tastes so much better than store bought butter, any day!

Watched & helped my granny do that…oh the memories…she had beautiful wooden butter molds..

I remember watching my grandma do that. She made great biscuits too!

What do you do with the water ? I heard that you use the liquid that comes out in cakes or biscuits like buttermilk ???

Though I've never made butter, I assume that the butter and buttermilk are separated and saved after the initial churning, then this wash water is simply discarded when washing the residual buttermilk from the butter...? Much enjoyed as usual, ty

Thank you for sharing ❤ have a blessed day

I still make butter if ever I have heavy cream left over from some recipe.

Oh, here's another short! Cool. Very clever, Tipper, to use these shorts to generate more views of a forgotten video. I think you have to rotate your phone, though, to qualify as a short.

Hello 👋,
Did you have another Show about making 🧈 Butter?

Thanks, this is where my grandmother would salt the butter. God Bless and stay safe.

I remember Mom washing the butter I've never yet got a chance to make it probably won't my lifetime I'm 67 now unless I make some from whipping cream from the store like they say you can do

Amazing, I'd love to try doing this churning ur own butter 🌽

I remember when you went over to your friends last year and she made it in the food processor with just cream. Blew my mind, hee hee. Some older gentleman tomd me just last week that his grandkids ordered him an old butter bell, and told us how u put cold water in the bottom, then ya pack the top full w butter, and it gets all the air bubles out. Pretty cool.

I remember my grandmother washing the fresh made butter. I was fascinated with the whole process of putting the milk in a crock with a towel over it, a string tying the towel to the jar then a plate on top to keep critters out. Then it sits for several day till the milk clabbers, plunging with the dasher till the butter separates from the milk. What you have then is the butter to eat and the buttermilk to drink and cook with. That was life in the country!

My Granny did it this way except there was no ice to be found but our water was cold enought. Granny never had hot water. She had the prettiest small bowl with the wheat symbols to imprint.❣

I watched this video and then the video that you made with your friend Carolyn Anderson came in and I watched her make butter. Was that a food processor she made it in? I would of never thought to do that but I'm gonna try it!

I made butter one time. It was a cool learning experience and turned out great!

Thanks tipper ...❤🙏

Never heard of washing butter until today.

My mom made butter when we ranched and had our own milk cows. We had a separator and kept the cream until there was enough to run our churn. It was electric and seems like it could hold 2 gallons. She strained the butter in cheese cloth and then worked it in a wooden bowl with a wooden paddle, had to get the whey out or it would sour. She had a couple of wooden molds that held a pound each. They had a star decoration on what was the top of the butter after you pressed it out. She put in a lot of hours makin' butter.

My grandparents had several milk cows when I was growing up back in the 70's and my grandma had 2 larg churns she use to make butter and I remember her washing the butter also she also had several butter molds the molds and the churns belong to my great grandma I have them now they are over a 100 years old

Ah the video stopped. Would like to see from beginning to end.
Very interesting.

Thank you so much for posting this! This is my first time making butter & I was struggling with this stage. The methods in the videos I’d watched previously weren’t working & her way of washing with the cold water from the other bowl worked perfectly! Life saver…or at least my butter saver! 😄

How much salt did you add to the butter? My sound is not working well, and I have to try this. Thanks!!

Can we use mixie to extract all milk from butter. Same way instead of doing manually.

Wow. Thank you.

Oooh yes I was just tossing it straight into the ice bath but this is much more efficient! Thank you!
