White butter

You can buy it at Sams Club or your market... LOL

I am thinking that is a lot of work for a stick of butter.. LOL ..

You know I was watching Zoom (it's a kids show...I was bored ) and they made their own butter by shaking the cream in a mason jar. I wonder though if it would cost more to take the cream to butter. The butter I use makes a very white BC...it's that store brand Kroger I was telling you about in another post. It's a very pale shade of yellow more like a cream color. Once it's mixed with the shortening and powdered sugar for a while, it's as white as it would be without butter.

It was neat though...how easy it is to make your own butter. Good thing to know and definately worth a try.

Oh my goodness!! I remember sitting on my mamaw's front porch just a churning butter!! That brought back sweet memories! Gosh, that butter was good! Mamaw would make it into loaves if I remember correctly & then she would put it in the freezer. Me & my sister would sit there & eat just plain butter~ Ohhh I also remember making homemade icecream!!!!! Turning that handle & so excited to get that icecream made!! Yummy!!

Lisa,

I used to teach preschool (gave it up about 2 years ago) & my class always made butter & icecream. For the icecream we just used a ziploc bag with ice in it & some whipping cream. The kids got to make it & they enjoyed it so much. We also made butter but for the life of me I can't remember how we made it.

Homemade butter is delicious...and amazingly easy to make...ask me, any time I try to make REAL whipped cream and beat it too long

Yummy home made cranked icecream I was just talking to Mom the other day about being a kid and remembering doing this ... too funny...


Now butter on the other hand I know they did it once when I was a kid but that is about all I remember and then we did the buttermilk too... LOL ..

LOL...LOL!!! That sounds easy enough. Don't you love happy accidents?

Lisa, I love that phrase 'happy accidents'!

I don't know why I find the responses so funny, but bear with me, I have a migraine, for the 7th day in a row, so I am a bit drugged and punch drunk!
I remember making ice cream at my aunt's cottage and what a treat that was, turning the crank and all. I remember churning butter too.
The mason jar thing works kiddos, but holy cow, at my age, there would be a whole lotta shakin going on, and I don't mean just the butter! Ooh, not a pretty picture.
I agree Dawn that would make a difference. But I think you should also get a European cow to milk to really make that old butter from scratch. Now I am sorry, but I can just picture you doing it kiddo and then I have this picture in mind of the tutorial and the cow having a name like Besse or Daisy and Dawn doing a buttercream transfer of the cow named Besse or Daisy and milking her and making the butter for the transfer and the whole darn tutorial taking up all existing web space. And then we could all move to a 1970's commune and make everything from scratch and bake our cakes over open fires and...
Or we could stock up on whipped butter, hhmn, which sound like less work!
All kidding aside, honestly I have thought of trying it out too with an electric churner.
Funny how churning and upchucking have the same meaning in another form.
Ok, I am officially punch drunk.
Hugs Squirrelly Cakers - shoot, how did that "r" get in there

LOL! Squirrelly Cakers you're making me laugh! I'm picturing us all with our mason jars, gyrating and shaking our cream...and other things! A new type of aerobic exercise for us cakers, umm I mean bakers!

I am laughing so hard right now...literally laughing outloud! You're going to make me wake the house Squirrelly Cakers
