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...
Pain is worth it when you have had fun causing it.
What will you do with the Butter Milk Hunnie? Scones. Pikelets etc etc?
