When the churn is cleaned well, the cream is put into the churn and the lid is put on. Then they begin to make the churning. It take a half an hour to make the churning. When they churning is made the butter is taken out. Them the churn is cleaned and it is left out to dry. The butter milk is kept in the churn and it is very good to drink.
