Finally! This is exactly what I have been looking for! I kept finding videos using kefir, yogurt or even buttermilk to make cultured butter/ buttermilk. This is what I wanted, thank you 😊

Hello Hello To both lovelies, Am Saeed from UK originally of Indian descent. Am so so so happy coming across your channel with this video. While growing-up back in India i had seen same traditional method but instead of glass bottle, it was very very huge brass pot .. with Huge wooden Churner .. I need 2 people to churn ... for me as a kid was watching it as some game. Butter was extracted & Butter milk was distributed in the neighbourhood. Today i’ve subscribe ur channel have watched and liked videos.. slowly but surely always keep watching u lovely people. As soon as i saw u guys it was something that whispered .. i like these people. Guys take care & stay blessed/happy. Kind regards, Saeed

I have done this twice now & it works just as you said! My milk took 2 full days to clabber. Then i set my timer for five minutes & had my butter separated. It is SO easy! Thank you so much for this excellent video. One of my few memories from kindergarten is making butter in a jar, passed around for each of us to shake it some. Now at 76 I am making butter the same way again. They don't call old age our 2nd childhood for nothing lol!

Thank you, this brought back memories of my great aunt and uncle on their Missouri farm in the 1950s. As a small child i watched my uncle milk his cow, then the milk went into a cream seperator separator separator. I also remember the cream being churned into butter and the buttermilk being served as a refreshing beverage with little flecks of butter in it. Store bought buttermilk doesn't have the tang i remember. Everything at the farm was hands on. My job was to collect eggs in the hen house and i felt very important to have this job.

Thank you for this video. I knew there must have been a step I was missing from churning sweet cream vs cultured cream. I had forgotten about culturing the cream first then churning to extract butter and cultured buttermilk. I'd been churning straight sweet cream so the remaining buttermilk didn't have that cultured or fermented tang I was remembering.

You are going to love homemade butter. One of my favorite things. Thank you for watching!

When you let the raw milk sit to culture is the fat in the milk under the cream drawn into the process? In other words do you get more butter by using the whole milk rather than skimming the cream and souring just the cream? Thank you for teaching us, I really love your videos.

Thank you sir. I wondered why the butter I used to buy on farms had way more flavor than the stuff you get in grocery stores. The dairy farm near my house sold it in half pound blocks refrigerated but it was more of a whiter color and had a very strong taste. Could you tell me what was different about it please? All those old farms in my area are housing developments now.

Start with 1/4 ts of FINE salt to that amount use less for less butter. Add the salt after the final water rinse, taste the butter and add more if you'd like. You can't take the salt out once added so less is best.

@@cindyking3304 Let the cold milk come to room temp by leaving it overnight to separate as you where informed... with a lid not tight, up set on the milk to keep bugs out. Or a towel/cheese cloth. Place in a dark not sunny location and remember if it was cold the bottle will develop condensation so have a towel under the bottle(s). Remove/skim off the top cream to make the butter. The rest is clabbered milk you can now make yogurt, or if you;d like milk kefir add milk kefir grains to it. You can drink it as is, bake with it but keep in mind it will get tart the longer you leave it out. if making kefir it will get tart if on day 3 of being out just a heads up. There are many used for clabbered milk search the internet 🙂 You might be able to make mozzarella but I'm also learning to look into that as well, so shall I. ALSO pets and plants can use this clabbered milk use about 1 pint to 1 gallon of water and feed the garden plants or use straight for pets.
