  1. About Churning

    Share Share Post
    It takes about twenty minutes to make a churning.
    It is made with the hands. The dash works up and down. When you see butter on the dash then the butter is made.
    First we get a dish and wash it with water.
    Then we take out the butter and wash it twice or three times and put salt in it.
    We use the buttermilk for making cakes.
    If a person comes in while you are churning and if he brings a coal of fire out with him he might steal the butter.
