Go to the store and buy whipping cream. Take it home. Leave it sit on the counter for an hour or so. Put it in a blender (or you can use a mixer. Or you can shake it up in a Mason jar.) Turn it on medium. First it will get really fluffy. Keep going. After 10 minutes or so, you'll start to see liquid and then butter. Yay! Butter! Pour the liquid into a glass and use it to make bisquits or pancakes or something. Take the butter in the bowl to the sink and "wash it" with cold water, until the water runs clear. If you leave butter milk in the butter, it will go bad faster. Then take 1/4 tsp. of salt and squish it in.
Enjoy!
I live on an acre of land in a rural area. I have an old dog, a young cat, and some chickens and bees. My goal is to live a healthy and simple life with as little dependence on the outside world as is feasible, which is not to say I'm a hermit! I've been doing this a few years and I'm no where near where I want to be so still have plenty of things to learn and do. This blog will combine my own adventures getting there with things I've learned that other people might find useful.
