Shake it in a quart jar...will be a whole lot faster and easier to clean up....less than 30 minutes. If you use a mixer you will have whipped cream.

On another board they posted that they did it that way so thought I would try it. Guess it will be a lesson learned.......will it ever separate into butter?

It's been soooooo long since I've made butter. I think the last time I was in my late teens, I don't really remember how long it took.

Seems to take longer than I thought, should of started sooner!

I didn't know you could make it w/ a mixer we had a motor on a gallon jar lid that rotated a paddle in the jar, but I don't remember it taking a long time, it always to longer to press out the whey then actually make the butter. If you didn't have that I would think an icecream maker w/o the ice would work better then the mixer.

Yes. We usually have the grand children take turns doing the shaking. When it does, save the skim milk for your birds. You can add a little salt to it by massaging it in. Chill it. Then make a patty or a dowel roll that you can slice.

Hum, I think I have an ice cream machine somewhere........Great idea.

Thanks! We will have fresh bread tomorrow & butter to go with it.

I will do the farmers cheese tomorrow so the chickens will be in heaven. LOL.

Never tried butter in the stand mixer, but use my food processor. Takes about 8-12 minutes depending on the cream. I have used cream off the top of fresh milk from a commercial dairy herd & that doesn't work as well -- those cows didn't seem to give good cream. When I use the cream off the top of milk from a pair of family farm cows seemed to work better. Never tried with store bought cream.

Did it work out ok in the stand mixer? I dont think my kitchen aid mixer would whip as fast as my food processor.


I will try soaking my seeds in buttermilk nankat, can't hurt! Especially sice I hae only ever gotten a handful of peas in my past attempts. Figure I will be lucky if the grasshoppers allow me to have any peas at all.
