How butter is made. First, have enough spring water for the butter washing. Our churn is a barrel shape, and has a handle in the side, it is placed on a stand of three to four feet from the ground.

If I put the cream into the churn immediately after scalding it would turn out to be very soft and white. Place the cream in the churn, and turn the handle from my self during the making of the butter, every one in a while.
