do the churning.
When the pieces of butter are about the size of a quarter of a pea the people know the churning is completed.Sometimes water is poured in during the churning to help separate the butter from the milk.The butter is lifted with a sieve and put into a wooden dish or small tub to be washed and well mixed with a patter.It is then made up into prints.It is locally said to be lucky to borrow anything from a person who is churning.It is also said to be unlucky for a man to come in,light his pipe and go out again without helping with the churning.- Collector
