Learn how to make homemade butter just like the pioneers made it without electricity. This butter uses cultured cream and is made in an antique glass butter churn. We demonstrate each step of the butter making process from milking the cow to the finished product.
To culture cream we clabbered the raw milk right after hand milking the cow so the cream was never refrigerated at any point during the butter making process.

Finally! This is exactly what I have been looking for! I kept finding videos using kefir, yogurt or even buttermilk to make cultured butter/ buttermilk. This is what I wanted, thank you 😊
Hello Hello
To both lovelies,
Am Saeed from UK originally of Indian descent.
Am so so so happy coming across your channel with this video.
While growing-up back in India i had seen same traditional method but instead of glass bottle, it was very very huge brass pot .. with Huge wooden Churner .. I need 2 people to churn ... for me as a kid was watching it as some game. Butter was extracted & Butter milk was distributed in the neighbourhood.
Today i’ve subscribe ur channel have watched and liked videos.. slowly but surely always keep watching u lovely people.
As soon as i saw u guys it was something that whispered .. i like these people.
Guys take care & stay blessed/happy.
Kind regards,
Saeed
Love this, he seems like such a very humble, kind, and good man. Bless you and all your family Sir. Thank you!
I'll be 53 this year, and remember going to Montgomery Ward's with my grandmother. I'd love one of those churners. Thank you for the video.
That might well be the place where Mr. Rueffer's grandmother bought it. Hopefully you can find a churn one day.
Especially enjoyed hearing Mr Rueffer’s stories of his family’s memories
Thank you! He is a one-of-a-kind! He is considering starting to make videos of telling stories about growing up in the old days. Perhaps your comment will encourage him.
Hands down..this is my favorite video I've ever seen on UA-cam!! Just WOW! ❤
Yay! Thank you! Mr. Rueffer will appreciate your compliment. Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate your time to show us how to make butter and real Buttermilk. Great video
Thanks for watching!
I will probably never turn my own butter, but I absolutely love this video. I found it very soothing and satisfying. Thank you so much for posting.
Thank you for watching and Mr. Rueffer will appreciate your comment.
Some would say ‘Churn’ not turn.
You use a ‘Butter Churn’
@@marcellaflubacher8207 thanks for the correction, I am totally blind, and just dictate all of my responses. I did not catch the spelling error.
This is wonderful to see! We use my husbands great grandmother’s butter churn. Ours is an 8 qt square glass jar.
So special to have a family heirloom. Thank you for watching!
What a great video. I late to the party but I just ran across this. I’m gonna have to find some raw milk and try this. Thank you for the video. I love the old ways. 😀
I am so happy I came across your channel. You remind me of my grandfather , thank you for that and all your stories.
How nice of you to share with us. This will make Mr. Rueffer happy! Thank you for watching!
That’s great! Thank you and God bless you and your family.
I love your video and your stories about your family. That is a awesome butter churn … ! Love to have one of those …Thank you for really showing the real way to make butter . 👍💕🏡
Thank you so much! We are so glad you like our videos. We appreciate you watching!
What a wonderful tutorial and learning about your family history. I remember my grandmother making butter and buttermilk the same way. Love learning from you and Caren. Thank you both for sharing and All the best!
My husband was born in 1953 and grew up dirt poor in the Ozarks. Oh, the stories he tells about farm life. He knows so much about that way of life. I'm going to write a book about it.
How fortunate you are to know someone who really lived the homesteading life! Life of yesteryear is so interesting and I love to hear stories about a way of life that has almost disappeared. That is great you plan to document his life by writing a book. Our newer generations need an understanding about this way of life. Thank you for watching!
I LOVED every second of this video!!! It answered most of the questions I have had as I venture into raw cows milk purchases from here on out. THANK YOU for this video!!!
I truly enjoyed this video. Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Now I know the difference between making butter from refrigerated cream and non-refrigerated cultured cream. Very informative and entertaining.
He made me smile. This is wonderful. Thank you and God's grace.
Yes, Mr. Rueffer is a one of a kind. He is one of the last old-fashioned Germans around here.
So many of us appreciate you very informative videos, beautiful and wonderful heartwarming stories. Thank you
You are very welcome and thank you for your kind words. We really appreciate you watching our videos.
Great video! Thank you for showing and explaining all the steps and what to watch for as it goes. Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching! Hope this helps you in your butter making.
During all these fast paced, low value, nothing positive Sharing Videos on the internet, this is a hidden gem. I love it
Thank you for watching! Yes, Mr. Rueffer is very old-fashioned and so different than most people today. (In a good way)
I can only imagine how incredible the ghee must be.. next level
That's so Kool,I haven't seen anything like this since I was about 4 years old, back In Romania.. nice work.....
The old-fashioned ways are still around here in the Texas Hill Country. Thank you for watching!
I think we're headed towards times where people are going to have to start doing things the way our ancestors did. 6 years ago I took that leap. It's a lot of hard work but well worth it. I'm use to Angus but recently bought some jerseys. I can't believe how much more butter fat they have.
♥️ I just found this channel & I’m in love 🥰
Please keep making more videos like this & tell us more stories.
So many of us crave to live a simpler life but don’t have the knowledge or skills & with your help, we can learn!
Thank you so much!!! 🙏
Thank you so much for watching! We hope to get back to videos soon and are so happy they inspire you.
Thank you so much for making this video.
You are very welcome and thank you for watching.
bravo
Oh wow i absolutely love love this i kept all my mammys pots and butter dish thank you ❤ new sub made me smile lots cant wait to give it a whirl
It is so special you will get to use some of your family heirlooms. Thank you for watching!
Spot on.
Hope you like our butter making method. Thank you for watching!
Wow!!! That tool is super impressive.. I want one lol
Thank you for watching! Maybe you can find one at an antiques store.
You need the right cow. In the late 70s I made plenty of butter. Old Sally gave us rich creamy milk to work with. But, Nicky gave us this thin milk that almost seemed like 1% you would buy from the store.
Thank you for this video. I knew there must have been a step I was missing from churning sweet cream vs cultured cream. I had forgotten about culturing the cream first then churning to extract butter and cultured buttermilk. I'd been churning straight sweet cream so the remaining buttermilk didn't have that cultured or fermented tang I was remembering.
Thank you Tammy! I hope you will enjoy cultured butter!
One of my favorite memories is of being about 7-9 yrs old and we had a hand crank ice cream maker. I would sit on top of it while my dad cranked it. I’m not sure why I sat on it. Maybe the hook that held the crank on was broke. We never had any money but it was fun to make homemade ice cream.
Thank you for watching! The old-slow activities are the best.
Thank you. I really liked this video!
Wonderful video!
Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you for watching!
Love this!
The color of the butter is beautiful yellow.
Thank you! So delicious and healthy!
That’s amazing. Great job!
Thank you for watching! So happy you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Great video. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I remember doing this as a child.
Great memories. Thank you for watching!
When you let the raw milk sit to culture is the fat in the milk under the cream drawn into the process? In other words do you get more butter by using the whole milk rather than skimming the cream and souring just the cream? Thank you for teaching us, I really love your videos.
Hello can you make a full vidio about cow milking by bucket milking machine please
Thank you for watching Hannes! We will add your suggestion to our list of videos to make.
I am not sure if anyone would know this to answer my question. In Canada raw milk is illegal to sell. We can sometimes get it from the states or a farm willing to sell under the table. However, it is extremely expensive. So we are wondering if anyone knows if taking some raw milk and adding it to organic pasteurized milk will re-populate the good raw bacteria? Everything we have read so far say it is possible, but the bad bacteria may also grow too much. So I am wondering if anyone has ever done it and what is your experience.... Also, how do you do it? Thanks for any help ❤
How and from where I can buy such a smart butter churner?
Thank you
I have a question!
I can buy raw milk in my state. The Problem is, we are older and don't drink too much milk. I want to make cultured butter and one gal of raw milk only makes so much cream. Is it safe to buy "Heavy whipping cream" at Kroger's and combine it with the cream from the raw milk to make the cultured butter quantity I want?
I have a UA-cam video called "How to make Cultured Butter easily. "
I would so appreciate it if you would let me know if it's safe to culture raw cream and store bought pasteurized heavy whipping cream together. Do I need A culture of plain Greek Yogurt to add to this mixer of the two types of cream? Thank you for visiting and replying on my UA-cam page.
My husband loves raw milk, when we get our dairy cow im trying to figure out.how to collect the cream while still consuming the milk and using for other cheese products thanks for your time!
Thank you for watching and hope you get a dairy cow soon.
May I ask. After you clamber/clabber the milk to retrieve the cream from the top can the milk be used to make yogurt sour cream etc...? Id assume so :)
Yes, actually it is sour cream. Thank you for watching!
So do we leave the milk out for 24 hours to culture first, then get the cream out and its already cultured? I get raw milk but have never figured out how to culture the cream
I leave the milk out, if ambient temperature is cold it may take longer than 24 hours. After the milk clabbers I ladle off the cream. I use the clabbered milk for cheese. Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 do you have a video on how to make cheese?
Thanks
If I haul the milk on a bicycle for 50 miles averaging 10 mph, will it turn to butter before I get home?
Possible to do with heavy cream?
That depends on the level it was treated with heat. Ultra pasteurized milk will not culture because it is missing the beneficial bacteria required to culture. Thank you for watching!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 got it non pasteurized is good..thanks!!
If I am buying raw milk from the farm that is refrigerated, will the process still work?
Yes it will. Thank you for watching!
ah ah ah aiyo Indians were using buttermilk since ages west got up now.. There is no food without buttermilk.
Can I use the buttermilk from my first batch of butter to use as culture for my next batch?
Yes, giving your culture a boost always speeds things along. Did you allow your buttermilk to clabber?
thank you for?sharing. try carnivore diet
I will check it out! Thank you!
I like how you teach me how to make butter I like to learn how to do different things Thanks for my email
I live in an area that is not a dairy country. All I can find in our only store is whole or full-fat Buttermilk with FOUR NASTY THICKNERS. I know real buttermilk doesn't have thickeners. 1 is a seaweed, My GI tract doesn't like Carrageenan. Modified corn starch, tapioca starch, sodium citrate, "locust bean gum " (From the Carob plant), and "carrageenan (SEAWEED)". Tell me why you'd do that to it? U.S.D.A., APPROVED! Really ruins a good product. Read your labels.
Yes, our food system is very broken. It is so hard to find edible food and I am sorry. Thank you for watching!
Hello! Lovely video and stories. Just wondering, does this work with store bought milk or does the pasteurization process change it?
Yes, you can but there are some caveats. Here is an article that will help: cheesemaking.com/products/butter-cultured-butter-recipe#:~:text=Can%20we%20use%20pasteurized%20or,fresh%20cream%20is%20always%20better.
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 thank you for the quick response!
I have done this twice now & it works just as you said! My milk took 2 full days to clabber. Then i set my timer for five minutes & had my butter separated. It is SO easy! Thank you so much for this excellent video. One of my few memories from kindergarten is making butter in a jar, passed around for each of us to shake it some. Now at 76 I am making butter the same way again. They don't call old age our 2nd childhood for nothing lol!
We are so happy our method worked out great for you! Yes, funny how things come around full circle. Thank you for watching!
Loved it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for watching Thais! Glad you liked our old-fashioned way of making cultured butter.
Thank you sir. I wondered why the butter I used to buy on farms had way more flavor than the stuff you get in grocery stores. The dairy farm near my house sold it in half pound blocks refrigerated but it was more of a whiter color and had a very strong taste. Could you tell me what was different about it please? All those old farms in my area are housing developments now.
Might have been goat milk butter as there shouldn't be a string flavor from cow milk.
What did you use the rest of your clabbered milk for in the bucket ? That was a lot of milk ….
Can we see what you do with the cultured milk and butter milk
Yes, we are working on showing all the uses for clabbered milk. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful! I’m trying this today thank you
Wholesome
I find it so relaxing just to watch these videos. I made better recently for the first time with the heavy whipping cream, wow. I think everyone needs to take a crash course on living 100 years ago.
Glad you like our video. Yes, it is important to learn skills from yesterday. Thank you for watching!
Awesome video. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Your cow is part Holstein ?
Yes, Belinda is 1/4 Holstein and 3/4 Jersey. The rest of the herd is Jersey. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. Appreciate. And...
what a beautiful farmstyle kitchen.
Thank you so much Alicia for watching and glad you like our kitchen.
Thank you, this brought back memories of my great aunt and uncle on their Missouri farm in the 1950s. As a small child i watched my uncle milk his cow, then the milk went into a cream seperator separator separator. I also remember the cream being churned into butter and the buttermilk being served as a refreshing beverage with little flecks of butter in it. Store bought buttermilk doesn't have the tang i remember. Everything at the farm was hands on. My job was to collect eggs in the hen house and i felt very important to have this job.
We are so happy our video brought back happy memories for you. Thank you for sharing and we appreciate you watching!
Wonderful video! After watching this I feel like I have all the information I need to make butter. I'm very curious whether home-made butter is going to be more delicious than store-bought... because so many home-made things are. Can't wait to find out!
You are going to love homemade butter. One of my favorite things. Thank you for watching!
How wonderful to be watching this from Kenya. I am a new homesteader and i hope to venture into butter making.
Yes, we are so honored you are watching our video. Best to you in your homesteading journey!
Wonderful video, thanks. When, and how much salt do you add to have salted butter?
Start with 1/4 ts of FINE salt to that amount use less for less butter. Add the salt after the final water rinse, taste the butter and add more if you'd like. You can't take the salt out once added so less is best.
I kept wanting to turn that handle because he's taking too long! 😂
🙂 I am sure Mr. Rueffer wishes he had some help turning the handle. Thanks for watching!
Much love ❤️ from Uganda 🇺🇬 ❤️
Thank you for watching!
I have a Question?? Our Milkman delivers our milk already cold. Can I start the same process with it having been cold? Thank You!!!!!
Hello Cindy, Yes you can. Works beautifully!
@@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 Another Question?? So, you leave the Whole Milk out to Clabber. Then you just scoop off the Top Cream part? What do you do with the milk after you take off the cream for the butter?
@@cindyking3304 Let the cold milk come to room temp by leaving it overnight to separate as you where informed... with a lid not tight, up set on the milk to keep bugs out. Or a towel/cheese cloth. Place in a dark not sunny location and remember if it was cold the bottle will develop condensation so have a towel under the bottle(s). Remove/skim off the top cream to make the butter. The rest is clabbered milk you can now make yogurt, or if you;d like milk kefir add milk kefir grains to it. You can drink it as is, bake with it but keep in mind it will get tart the longer you leave it out. if making kefir it will get tart if on day 3 of being out just a heads up. There are many used for clabbered milk search the internet 🙂 You might be able to make mozzarella but I'm also learning to look into that as well, so shall I. ALSO pets and plants can use this clabbered milk use about 1 pint to 1 gallon of water and feed the garden plants or use straight for pets.
