I saw the how to somewhere, but can't remember where at the moment!<br />Megan Jenelle (pretty name!)-When your first two tries didn't work, what did the cream look like when it passed the butter stage? I didn't stand over my mixer and watch the process, but at one point I heard the motor sound slightly strained and went and looked..didn't see anything different though. Using the mixer, it took around an hour to get to butter clumps. I used the whip and am thinking maybe the paddle would have worked better.<br />Connie-always good to hear from you!Kelly Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859487060142048869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814670734651923276.post-24121700266491750302010-11-11T18:39:48.514-07:002010-11-11T18:39:48.514-07:00Wow!

I have never ...Sounds like you are doing it right. I have never used a strainer. I just pour the buttermilk (watery milk) into a jar and catch the chunks of butter with a paddle. You can use a wooden spatula if you like. Mesh it all together before you pour. Save your buttermilk for baking or for drinking (if you like buttermilk) or for the cats.<br /><br />Knead the butter with your paddle, not your hands. I never used ice water, just very cold water from the tap. I have a shallow wooden bowl (butter bowl) that I use for the butter and hold it at an angle over the sink and run the cold water while kneading. I salt my butter (I use sea salt) because it keeps better and tastes better. I can send you pictures of the paddle and the bowl if you want for examples. Congratulations .. you will never go back to store butter.Connie Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000331487489593437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814670734651923276.post-83979984588454179262010-11-11T14:20:02.120-07:002010-11-11T14:20:02.120-07:00Oh my!

The directions said it could take 10-30 minutes, but I guess I have a super blender because the third time I did it I stopped after just a few minutes and WA LA! Butter! The first two times it must have passed the butter stage for being in their too long!<br />~AFG<br />Megan JenelleMegan @ A Blossoming Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983419429226420893noreply@blogger.com
