I’m 65, my grandmother passed away many years ago at 96. She would be close to 110 I think. At 11 years old a mere child, she had to leave home to work for her room and board. She did housework, cleaning cooking and baking bread everyday. She was so tiny she had to use a stool to knead the bread. After getting married my grandparents were lucky enough to have a cow. She told me she used to make butter in a glass jar. She explained she merely skimmed the cream and put it in the jar and shook it until it separated from the buttermilk. I’ve done this several times, for my daughter when she was young and now for my granddaughters. It’s a wonderful little experiment for any child to see even this 65 year old child. What a wonderful memory. Who doesn’t love fresh butter. Thanks again for the great video.

My grandparents used to make butter - but they were a tiny bit more modern - the glass jar had a beater in the lid and when you turned the handle it churned the contents - I have milked cows and a goat by hand - I remember when I was a kid and my uncle would be milking the cow - for mischief he would turn the teat towards you when he saw you coming and you got a face full of warm milk..! I had a goat a year ago which I hand milked - the milk was beautiful and I made cheese once a week too - she's gone now I will have to get another...!

I made my own butter years ago when my children were young and then for some forgotten reason, perhaps because it was more convenient just to but it, I stopped making it. I've wanted to start again but couldn't remember to right way to do it. Thank you so much for this video which helped me remember. I love your videos.

Kids in this country need to learn from these vids. Awesome video...

As a child in America, I helped Grandma make butter in a wooden churn. It was, as I recall, made from the older, non-pastured milk that was close to going sour, but not there yet. We would then beat it with paddles to get the last of the buttermilk out and shape it in moulds. The milk was kept in a spring house at 55 deg.F or slightly above, and no ice, so done in the cool of the morning in warmer months. I remember that as being the most flavorful butter ever. It was probably ever so slightly cultured. One didn't spread a thin film on thin toast, instead one placed a thick slab on a thick hunk of homemade bread.

You can also make it in a jar by shaking it vigorously for 10 to 20 mins if you don't have a mixer. Added bonus of a work out. 😊

Fantastic Janis! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.

It brings back memories, John. When I was a boy, I used to spend my summers with relatives on a farm "out in the country". We were almost 100% self sufficient, growing and producing everything we needed, from chickens to cows, to fields of fruit and veg. Even our water was from a well, none of that stinky city stuff for us. I well remember that one of my jobs was to churn the butter (after I milked the cow and filtered the milk...I didn't get the "fun" jobs, I was too young, my cousins got to do those)...what's the point of having rugrats on a farm if you don't put them to work, right? I would go with my aunt into town on Saturdays, where she'd sell the excess production of beef, milk, eggs, butter, fruit, and veg, and we'd buy the things we didn't produce...Life cereal (hehehe), flour, salt, etc. Sixty years down the road, I can, to this day, still taste our daily breakfast of fresh henhouse eggs, sausage and bacon, toast, cereal, and those magnificent piping hot buttery biscuits. I got to help with those too...and while I watched and helped every single day, even now I can't produce a biscuit to match my aunt's. What I'm thinking is that what that biscuit really needs is fresh, homemade butter! Thanks for this video, mate. I'm doing it tomorrow and will test drive the result on a batch of biscuits!

I grew up making butter from our Jearsy milk cow on the farm. She lived a happy life being milked by hand every day. My dad milked the cow my mom separated the cream and I ran the butter churn and made the one pound blocks with a butter mold. My mom wrapped the butter and sold what we didn't eat. It was fantastic. I tried it with store bought cream and there is no comparison, the cost was the same as buying butter. You simply can't make good butter from industrialized dairy products. But maybe in the UK it's different.

I can't wait to make it for real and store it like you just did. Thank you John. My son comes home from the USAF in February, and he can't wait to cook with me.

A few things for those of us in the USA. A lot of the heavy cream we get has an additive, carrageenan, to thicken it. Also, a lot of the cream we get is "ultra-pasteurized" to give it a longer shelf life. I don't know what the carragreenan will do to the butter, but I do know ultra-pasteurization makes the cream and resulting butter has a scalded or burned taste. Best to seek out a local farm that sells cream for best results.

Hey! I can now add butter to my list. Thought I'd lost it as I think I was too tentative stopping too many times to wipe down sides of the bowl as it started to scramble but then went smooth again.......but eventually it suddenly came together in the whisk. And it's delicious. Thank you, Mr Kirkwood.

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.

I've made my own butter like this in the past and always enjoyed it. The price of dairy has gotten so crazy here the last few months. As a bit of a price comparison... Butter here is about $5.50 per 454g (1 lb or 4 sticks) Canadian dollars and whipping cream (heavy cream) is about $6.50 per litre. From my past experience, a litre makes about a pound of butter, so it doesn't really pay here to make butter right now. But I do agree, it tastes much better.

Same in the US as far as prices. I’d like to try it though at some point.

The nice thing about butter is you can put different herbs or spices or even orange or lemon (grated) into your cream before you whip it up to make butter that takes to a different level and you can use to flavour your food in so many ways. Keep it up 👍

Often whipping cream had thickeners to aid in whipping and to produce a stable whipped product. This is the norm here in Canada (and in the US I believe). It still makes great butter. Better if you have access to fresh cream from a farm. That does take a lot more effort to whip but the end result is awesome. :)

Although I have been making this for some time now, this time I used my new Ankarsrum mixer with the roller and bowl scrapper. And wow! It converted the cream to butter in just 2 minutes. It also separated the butter from the buttermilk so much better than using my normal stand mixer!

😊hello to you and congratulations, I just made butter with 500 ml of cream from the supermarket and it came out with 175 g of butter. I'm sure your cream is better but it was still a satisfaction to do it.

Wonderful. Thank you so much. Eva

Cheers John, I got ‘round to making butter today following your instruction. My only thought concerns probably my personal taste, I like it a little more salty but that’s easily sorted.

My local Morisson sell 2 pints of heavy cream for just £1. I am glad I found this video because I have the machine and the cream but was not confident enough to do it. I have been using the cream for curry and other cooking and lost half of the cream because it went off before I could use all of it. Imagine how many butters I could have had out of 2 pints of cream.

Something I've been meaning to do for a while, thanks and I'll be signings up to your patron, thanks again John.

I managed to make my own butter the other week . I bought 10 tubs of cream from the yellow sticker shelf in my supermarket. It was only 15p per tub . Oh boy that was cheap butter . 😅

Gonna do this. Butter is HIGH! 😊

Well I made it. Must admit the first time I watched the tutorial I was thinking to myself that 600ml of cream will never make that much butter. Oh ye of little faith. What a satisfying thing to make. Think I’m hooked. Never going to buy butter again. Yes it does make that much butter. Thank you John, I’m sorry I didn’t come across your channel sooner. Liked and subscribed. X

I love making my own butter. the buttermilk freezes very well and is absolutely delicious to drink. 1 litre of 35% cream yields 13-14 oz of butter and 2 cups of buttermilk. The buttermilk and fat when separating can be very messy as it splashes, so I wrapped the top of my mixer with plastic wrap and sealed it to keep the splashing in. I squeezed out all the buttermilk I could and then cleaned it under cold water from my flowing tap kneading it over and over like play dough to get all the buttermilk out and the water in the butter starts to run clear. this way the butter won't turn rancid.
