Butter project, started at 12.45, finished bar the clean up 1.45... A hand mixer makes the whole process v e r y slow, but, 450 gms of butter made, divided into four pats, three freezing, one for use, one good quantity half a litre maybe of buttermilk for the fridge, and the softest hands I have had for ages. It tastes good, I didn't salt it, and my shoulders ache from holding the beater for all that time. But watching it happen brought back a lot of memories, and gave me a lot of respect for all those people who churned the stuff by hand! Worth it? Yes. Do it again? Maybe not...
We'll see.
I am being lazy for the rest of the day...
