Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 3 new videos every week! Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

Pro tip: drain off the buttermilk and leave the butter in the food processor. Then add ice water and pulse it a few times. Drain and repeat 2 - 3 times. It will get it cleaner, faster. That's how I do it.
I grew in a place where there is no concept of butter. When I first seen it, knowing what it looks like and what it is used for, my sense is: it is cooking oil in solid form. I still think so, unless someone tells otherwise. In short, it is just fat from cows. It is not healthy at all. When you cook, you are supposed to use vegetable oil, instead of high melting point animal oil. When I see people cook with butter, I shake my head. People from western culture never thought butter is unhealthy.
@@seanleith5312 vegetable oil is poison to the human body. Animal fat is ancestral. Vegetable oil is responsible for nearly all disease today!
@@alisonl5127 Really? My instinct says you are wrong, but I will check it out.
Great idea!
@@alisonl5127 To me butter always taste better on my toast and jelly than vegetable oil, it just leaves a film taste in my mouth when I put it on toast.
We had two cows and as a kid I ate many a piece of pound cake made with homemade butter. It tasted much better than what is sold in grocery stores today. I also recall my mother using the buttermilk for making pies and other kinds of cake. We also made our own ice cream. As Archie Bunker says, " Those were the days."
What's the difference between a hillbilly and a country person or are they the same thing?
We had a milk cow when I was little. Dad would milk her while my job was to hold her tail so she won't swat him in the face. The cows name was Lady. She was the best cow. Mom used to make cottage cheese. Good memories.
I’d make ghee. (Clarified butter)Shelf stable, great for baking, like leaf lard. You can also use it for frying, since it increases the smoke point. Excellent flavor
)
I grew up with fresh cows milk from our cow. Dad milked the cow by hand, sitting on a stool, with a bucket. Mom separated the cream, put it in mason jars, put on the lids, and then we were set in a line on the back step (5 little kids), each with our own mason jar, and we began to shake the jars. We had to sit there and shake the jar until the butter formed. Very low tech.
MargaretT T nobody does that anymore. That's a damn shame. I'm 42 and I'm the only one of my friends that gardens and cans. Everything is a "right now" gratification. It's saddens me.
Me too!
My Mother told me that is how they made butter. They just put it in a jar and shook it.
Everytime we went camping, I'd buy fresh cream and set the kids to doing just that! They always made a race to see who got the first solid kerthunk, when the butter would hit the Mason jar lid. Nice memory!
We used to do this in the 2nd grade ~ lots of fun & learning!

Sarah, you guys look like you're so fun to be with. I enjoyed this video bc my dad was a small dairy farmer. He could bring 8 cows in at a time, but milked 4 on one side, then switched to the other side, let the milked cows out, brought in the next 4 them repeated the process. I always loved the sound of the milkers and the vacuum sound swishing off and on. Your little 2 milker setup brought back fond feelings.
I love that the two of you give practical advice and don't just waste the viewer's time giving your opinions about the subject. Your information is wonderful! Thank you!
My grandma used to churn her milk in a tall crock with a dasher...I can hear it in my mind even now! She also had a wood stove. There is nothing better than homemade biscuits from a woodstove with homemade butter!!
Rebecca Jones we had a wonderful Jersey cow ... really more than one ... my mom milked twice a day and my job as a child was to strain the milk and skim the cream to set the churn every night ... before school every morning I used my grandmother’s butter churn with a hand carved cypress wood dasher that my dad made to replace the original that disappeared over the years ... something meditative about the rhythm and sound of churning butter ... mom did the final rinsing and molding - we had a box mold that held a pound of butter. Best butter ever!
My grandma did this too. I have her churn. Can’t buy raw milk in Ohio.
Oh dang girl! You just made me homesick and hungry all at once! Lol
Me to 😋
@Sara Phillips ,
I'm not sure that you need the so called raw milk. However , you do need NON-homogenized milk. Most modern consumers do not know that there is a difference between pasteurized milk and homogenized milk. They are not the same process. Homogenized milk is milk that has been chemically treated to disperse the cream throughout the milk so you can not tell how much is NOT in the milk. This is why these days one can hardly find non-homogenized milk. ( $4.00 per half pint of cream should explain it all to you )
You might try finding a local dairy farmer that will only pasteurize milk and will sell directly to the public.
Honestly who would give this amazing video a thumbs down?? Good job Kevin and Sarah. You are very blessed with Hope.
Probably a Wal-Martian
@@charsiu_808 Probably a Vegan. Yuck
Jealous people.
I found your channel by pure accident, and I am absolutely delighted that I did! I watched the video of you making butter. You gave me a wonderful memory, thank you! When I was a small child (up to 8 years) we lived on a small farm. One of the farm animals was a cow. I have been disabled since age 3 and wore steel leg braces. My mother would put cream in a quart jar and fill a small green glass dessert bowl with raisens and sit me down in the living room with my quart of cream and cup of raisins. I would alternately shake and roll the jar up and down my braces making butter for the family.
I realize now that this was very good for me in several ways. It gave me a real boost emotionally, something I badly needed. I was feeding my family. As small as I was, the weight of a full jar of cream was similar to a dumbell. The act of shaking it and rolling it up and down was good exercise for my back and arms. I felt so good about this!
Thank you for bringing up this wonderful memory. Now, I have a question, is the "buttermilk" ready to use as is or do you do something to it? I am so happy to have found your channel and look forward to learning more and maybe enjoying some more hidden memories.
Linda B.
Have you tried canning your butter?
What a beautiful memory, thank you for sharing.
From my research you can drink the fresh buttermilk. I like that one. Or the buttermilk can ages which makes it more sour and thick. I only like that for cooking. I Daddy liked buy a carton and drink it. It was too sour for me.
Butter and Bacon , ice cold milk and burnt toast ....can't be beat !
Very nice video. When I was a kid back in the 60's my uncle would get a pail of milk from our jersey girl and my Grandma had a bunch of them blue jars. I would watch her churn the butter and I still have her churn here with me. As a mere lad I never paid attention to the details of making butter but I do remember her keeping a large wooden bowl of clabber milk on the table. Her stove was was a wood fired 4 burner. She heated the water in a big black kettle on the right rear burner. I remember the most fantastic biscuits and cornbread coming out of her oven. I wish I had paid more attention. Thanks so much for posting this wonderful video.
Another reason for staining is a check for mastitis. We check the filter every day to make sure it is not slimy or have any stringy chunks on it. These along with saltiness (sometimes) are good indications she is having problems. From a 20+ yr milk maid. ;)
We also use this method or our CMT test
how long can a cow be milked before they dry up and need to have a new calf?
@@lizagarcia2117 that really depends of the cow, however it is best for the cow to be bred each year as being open (no pregnant) to long can cause them to have ovarian cysts. Generally a cow well milk well for up to a year. They need a 2ish month break from milking before calving again. ie: cow has calf, you breed her about 3-4 months after, continue milking until 2 months before the next calf comes. this is the perfect scenario and doesn't always happen that way. But I'll gives you an idea.
Erin hello Erin, thank u for this information, can u tell me what the term of pregnancy is on a cow?? Thank u and have a wonderful day!
9 months
The first thing I see is your video on my phone " when life gives you cream...make butt" I got that it meant butter but it was chuckle worthy.
This brings back the best memories of my childhood. My great uncles owned a dairy farm. I always sat with my great aunt and helped her churn butter!
“ I got a lot of cream” Lady you got Jersey cow. : )
As a child, I used to go to my grandmother's house and churn the cream into butter and she would make biscuits and put the butter and molasses on them, it was so good.
My Grandma Jeddi used sorghum...yum!
That was the favorite thing to do at my aunts house for me...churning butter and she’d make homemade cinnamon rolls with thick icing and thick slab of butter......then fresh cold milk to wash it down.........nothing like fresh......
Hope is turning out to be a wonderful addition to the homestead
Silly question, but when you say buttermilk you mean like buttermilk right like for buttermilk pancakes?
My mother used to make the most amazing old fashioned butter cookies. They are similar to sugar cookies but the buttery flavor is awesome and they melt in your mouth.
My daughter makes her own butter. I told her about your channel and told her you do a great job. She lives near Birch Tree and I live in Mountain View Missouri.
That’s really cool, you have milk to drink, butter milk for biscuits and butter for those biscuits. TFS
Brandy Gallegos it’s not actual buttermilk like the store’s buttermilk. That’s made from cultured cream. It’s more like a 2% milk that tastes like whole. I thought it was the cultures buttermilk when I first started making my own. It’s the best darn milk though!
Then maybe that should be explained better. Thanks for explaining! 😒
Brandy Gallegos it took me awhile to find that out too. It wasn’t until I actually tried the buttermilk that I thought “ummmm this isn’t tangy!!” It’s really yummy though. I had to research a bit myself to find out why it wasn’t the tangy buttermilk.
Back in the day, they would save the cream in the butter churn until they had enough to churn into butter. It would take a number of days to collect enough cream, so the cream would naturally culture while it sat. By the time they churned the cream, the buttermilk that was left was tangy like we know buttermilk to be. Today, we drink buttermilk that has had a specific bacterial culture added to it to make it thick and tangy, mimicking what our ancestors used years ago, but in a consistent, predictable product that minimizes any perceived health risks that could be associated.
@@thenameofYeshua and we wonder WHY we have had such a downward trend in our health and immune systems! As my genetics professor said in our very first lecture: sure, check your kids' sandbox for catdroppings first, but otherwise:
"let them eat dirt!" We're so underexposed and overinsulated from "germs" that we've hobbled our immune systems! Not that we should go back to having Measles parties again, but rushing sally to the doctor as soon as she sniffs once is absolutely counterproductive. Kids NEED to get "little sicks" lots, while they're young, so they pump out a bagillion helper T cells for later in life. Better they run around with snotty noses constantly for 3 years in the first 5 years of life, not all together hopefully! Than to be getting 2 or 3 weeks of sickness every year for life afterwards. 😉💖🥰
Enjoyed watching this. I grew up on a dairy farm and started hand milking at the age of 5 and we graduated to your type of milking machines and ultimately into grade A bulk tank with elevated stalls and auto feeders. A couple of comments. Regarding the stantions, ours had a block of wood that swiveled 90 degrees. Once the cow was in the stall, the vertical post was closed and the block of wood pivoted counterclockwise to lock. Pertaining to the milking, once we finished with the milking machine we would do what’s called “stripping”. That is, finish off with your hands to make sure the machines got all the milk out of the bag. This helps prevent mastitis.
I had a rope on my stansion to close it, easy to release a panicking cow. I had a snake try to climb a leg while milking, and didnt want my Jersey trapped in the stancion. That bolt could get jammed in that hole.
Thank you you showed us the whole process from start to finish and made it easy and uncomplicated and I feel like I could make my own butter. Well done on this tutorial.
Great idea!! thanks I will put that into practice. when I get my milk cow. I have a very small homestead now but my family is looking to purchase a larger one. may.God bless all you do
Growing up we would get two gallons at a time from our next door neighbor. My siblings and I would shake our gallon each time we used it. Our parents would let theirs separate and mom would drink the skim milk and my dad would drink the cream. We kids weren’t allowed to get into his cream. He only had a small bowl of cereal at night before bed as his treat. ☺️ Although, since he ate so little at a time it was hard to sneak a little but I would manage a swallow every now and then. 😉
Hope is such a beautiful addition to your homestead. The time you took selecting her has made all the difference, in my mind. She is so smart!
Thanks for the butter tutorial. I appreciate it. 🌻
Just found your site...Great to live the good life!..If you have an electric cake mixer with a plastic or steel collar (or you can cover the top of the bowl with ceram wrap) try using that and the dough hook attachment( on the lowest setting) to wash and then salt the butter. It is much quicker and not too messy. It saves my arthritic hands a lot. Greetings from King Island Tasmania, Australia.
There is another simple way also to make butter. Let the fresh milk be fermented for a day or so depending on room temperature. Then you will see the milk is becoming thick like Yoghurt, pour it into a blender and switch on for about 5 - 10 minutes. Butter will form on the top cool the mixture to make it easy to separate butter from liquid. Once separated you get butter and liquid fluid tasting like yogurt. You can drink the liquid alternatively you can get cheese from it by heating slowly the liquid. On top of the liquid you will get very low fat cheese. Remove it gently and add whatever flavor or salt to it . The remaining liquid will look like unclear water you may use with cooking or just dump it in the sink if you don't want it.
While watching you separate your cream I thought there has to be an easier way! Hillbillies idea is genius! Thank goodness for other people’s ideas!
I was afraid she was going to pull out a cream separator. You know, one of those thing with 27 parts that had to go together just so and must have been invented by the devil because everytime someone used it they ended up saying "devil words"!
So happy that you and Kevin have Hope on your farmstead! Having a cow was key for a family trying to live a sustainable lifestyle back in my grandmother's day. Your videos are going to help so many others to go forward with living off the land. I enjoy your lifestyle and progress. As a farmer's wife, we live a conservative New Hampshire way of life, but I watch with interest when you use new kitchen appliances. I now have and Instant Pot and will be buying new attachments for my 1977 Kitchen Aid stand mixer :-)
My mother In law used cheese cloth put butter in ie ,put under cold running water, squeeze till clean,she washed the cloth used it many times, this was in 50’s !!!
You share your knowledge so Gracefully. Always thought making butter was an impossible task. Godbless and Thank You.
Takes me back to a time when I was just a kid in the 60's. Small farm with chickens cows and horses and a large garden. Yes, hard work you'd think, but a life lesson in growing up. And yes there was a milk cow. She was everything, from milk to to butter and even icecream to evan a Comfortable nap Partner under a big oak tree.
Butter was made with a old fashion butter jar with pads that had to be hand cranked for a good while. Everything was done by hand even milking the cow ,it at times was family affair for us kids. Even if it didn't always turn out good for who got the tail end of the cow. That was a bit messy, but was a good laugh. And are great Memories. Thank You for being them back.
Keep up the good life of the olden days I remember so well.
Can relate to grandparents farm and making butter. I have their large wooden bowl that they used to separate the milk and cream. Also the big wooden paddle.
Good morning Kevin,Sarah and all Traditionalists! I love your videos. I learn so much and dream of having a homestead. I realize that being alone and older, that’s not realistic.
Same here, Karen same here!
And here! So we plant our gardens, buy the heavy cream, make our breads, yogurts and watch these awsome videos!
Hello Peekaboo
Great video and thank you, I had done this when I was little and am always amazed how it goes from cream to butter. Look forward to seeing more of your video's and looking at your other video's
😯🥳 That is GENIUS!! 😁
lol that butter transfer *splat*
What!!?? No releasing the ducks! My favorite moment is when you release the ducks.
Robert F I share the “release of the geese with my granddaughters many times, even if we don’t have a new video. We all giggle every time
Sarah I loved this video. I honestly never really knew how easy it was to make fresh homemade butter. While my wife and I have no intention to buy a cow or even make butter ourselves, your video was very educational. 👍
Your system looks great, but I would recommend y’all try hand milking just to see if it saves you time. You’ll be shocked how quickly you get the job done and have only your pail to clean. 15 minutes tops! I love your channel ❤️ so much. Thank you.
Really like your videos and the way you do things. I’m inspired.
On of my favorite parts of your videos is reading the comments. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Is there no end to human ingenuity? Of course we should know that from Kevin's inventiveness!! Today was interesting because people were sharing info from their grand parents. I always love your videos. I am looking forwards to cheese, yogurt etc.
Have you see the electric butter churns made by Mirro? I have my mothers that my Dad bought her back in 1975 it has a 2 gal and a 5 gal glass jug. They work great. I always make honey cinnamon butter, garlic butter, you can add different spices depending what you have a taste for.
Mmmm. Cornbread & honey butter..
You both are awesome teachers. The detail is great step by step. You have taught me so much. Thank you.😁
This is the best video I have ever seen, very, very good explanation, and presentation ever. Just beautiful, Keep up the good work.
With all that butter, I suggest maybe adding some herbs, garlic etc for flavored butters and also making Ghee.
bigskydreamer26 I’ve taken half the butter I made and turned into ghee. I LOVE that it’s room stable (I’m going to try water bathing to seal next time) and the nutty flavor it creates. It’s the BEST!!
@@noniabizinezz6867 not required for ghee
Dave Lawson I know but it is humid where I live and it makes me feel better.
@@noniabizinezz6867 what does room stable mean?
I know what shelf-stable means.
Jinx Jones Same thing, does not need to be refrigerated.
We made bread on Saturdays when I was growing up. Mama made plum butter and fried bread we ate the bread fresh with plum butter and topped it with that heavy cream. There is nothing better than hot fried bread that way.
Thanks very much indeed! After 2 yrs I listened to your great video on making butter from fresh milk. God bless you!
love you guys! When more people get on board with natural living, the world will become a better place! Thanks for your encouragement.
When I was a kid we got unhomogenized milk and the thick top crème was for mom's coffee. In school, for a project, I had to shake a bottle of crème until I got the butter. That is a killer.
This video brought tears to my eyes. So many memories from my life on our family farm, milking our cow, making butter...❤️❤️ I wanted to grab that fresh milk and drink it! And that cream! OMGOODNESS! I would drink the cream off the top of the milk in the fridge. LOL (I wasn’t supposed to, but it was too good not to!
Great video, thank you! We are getting our first dairy cow this week so you answered lots of questions, much appreciated! God bless!
Loved this video and I truly love and appreciate that you're detail-oriented! By not skipping a single step or element of your precess and of other things you're doing, and by explaining everything so well, you're helping people with dyslexia who would get stuck on something because they can't process the data when there's data missing, which in turn would probably make it impossible for them to proceed with the rest of the video (In other words, when there's missing data, it's basically as though your car's/truck's wheel got stuck in a very deep pothole, totally preventing you from moving forward no matter how much effort you put into trying to get your car/truck moving). So, kudos to you for giving as much details as possible!
I'd say you gave 98% of all the info, which is AMAZING! The only part missing is explaining why the homemade butter, made out of fresh milk, cannot be made with cold fresh cream (you said the cream had to come at room temperature). I'm asking this because butter can be extremely easily made with cold, store-bought, whipping cream (in the United States, you call it heavy cream).
I truly e joyed this video! You have a new subscriber! 💕💕💕
Love your vids. Old back to land lover here. Just a thought, have you considered using your butter washings, especially the first couple of rinses, to feed your pigs, chickens, etc. Just another use for nutrition that won't get poured down the drain. Blessings.
Use it to cook oatmeal and other hot cereals
Kate Erickson also is good to pour around your tomato plants. Tomatoes need calcium.
Canit be used as marinade for southern fried chicken?
As soon as she said she just poured it out, I remembered my granny keeping a 5 gallon bucket in kitchen for it and food scraps for pigs. Every day we slopped the hogs twice. (Fed) them with those buckets. Cleaned buckets and lids and brought back to kitchen.
Wow I think that butter on some of Kevin's bread is awesome So happy to see all your videos ans learning something Every time God bless
I've made Kevin's bread! It's fantastic!!! Truly, that's how I found their channel. Looking for an easy bread recipe. Who knew!! LOL
My gramma had two jersey cows and I vividly remember her milking them on a stool and milking into a bucket. The milk would go into jars just like you do and into the fridge. I remember her scooping the cream off and my grampa and parents would use some of the cream for coffee and deserts. Of course, she made her own butter. What great memories. Thank you for sharing. I do not have a cow but you bet I am going to try this with a food processor and heavy cream from the store! Thank you and God bless your family!
We grew up with a milk man who delivered our six quarts of milk processed locally in heavy duty glass containers and they all had the WONDERFUL heavy cream at the top. YUM!!
All that cream and butter will come in handy as we approach the holliday's. My favorite is butter cookies. Make up a bunch, store in the freezer and cook as needed. Make great presents too.
This brings back so many memories from my childhood. We put cream in glass jars and had to take turns shaking the jar until the butter formed. My grandmother had butter molds - a rectangular wooden block that had a design carved inside. You filled the block with butter and when you pushed it out there was a pretty design on the butter.
As for recipes - homemade caramel candy uses cream and butter and makes great teacher gifts in a pretty jar or tin at Christmas. And homemade ice cream is a great way to use milk!
I like your video Sarah. Very natural and humble way of explanation. Lots of respect for you both.
Nice. That is the machine we used when we milked cows on our farm. Didnt know they were from the 60's. We hung ours from a strap that we hung around their torso. Brings back good memories. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad to see someone else to get excited about all the things we get to make from our fresh milk,,, I have a recipe I got from an Amish Lady for Velvetta cheese, that is wonderful,,,,and for the butter I also do flavored butter like garlic butter and like now it's sweet potato time in Alabama so I made some brown sugar and cinnamon butter for them. Have fun.
Grateful
Would love to see the Velveeta recipe
Yes would love to see the velveeta recipe.
Would love to see this recipe as well
Yes, please share the Velveeta recipe.
Trish Schultz would love to see the recipe too
When I was a teenager (many, many yrs ago) we would churn our cream into butter using a churn. Back then, we didn't have either a blender or a food processor. :) This video brought back so many memories :)
I've been using my mixer for making butter, no more!! Will use my small blender, with a lot less mess flying all over the kitchen:) Good job girl, thanks for sharing :)
Look at that wonderful fresh raw milk
@joe mathis I'm sorry to hear that it must be horrible
You are fortunate (in my opinion) many of us have never experienced fresh raw milk....and would love to be able to live off my own like that.
I have been waiting for this video, how wonderful to be able to make your own butter! Hope is really a blessing to your family.
Yay! I mentioned using one of those drink dispensers, for removing the milk from the cream, in one of your other videos. Glad you're using it.
At: (4:12) that sweeeet cow need some more food.
Beautiful family, and you are a good teacher 😎
Thanks for sharing
hey watched yall ive watch your show for so long it makes me feel so good to see your success in life wish i did it years ago just saying thanks ill be watching
I use cheesecloth and squeeze the butter dry...works pretty good.
I was just watching this, and I see your comment.. I was going to say my grandmother used old cotton sacks to strain off the water during her rinse. Just put that packed sack of butter over the wash tub, pour that cool water back then over it and mead it and squeeze off the water and keep going till clean. She throwed her water in the pig slop.
My grandfather immigrated from Holland when he was 36, his wife my grandmother was just 21in 1953! They came from very large dairy farm families and he was always set in his old European ways as for keeping family history and tradition in tact, however was extremely eager to be a modern farmer, originally tried working in Canada, then went to California and eventually made it to Washington Sate in 1960 bought land and built a wonderful life on the farm. They milked by hand the family cows and for the selling used the machines. To think of milking 2-3 gallons a day by hand it is trully amazing one beautiful cow can produce that much milk!
Armywifelife 365 / My father was a child of the 1920s from South Florida. His parents were Florida pioneers. My mother’s family came from New Hampshire and they were pioneers in North Florida. They rarely had coinage in their homes during the 1950s but I remember fresh eggs, biscuits, beans, crops from the fields, milk and butter straight from their cows and strawberry jam like you’d not believe! Oh, and always time to sit and talk!
Oh my stars! I have been telling my family that trick would work for a long time but they wouldn't believe me!!
i am very sorry to hear that but u can show them the video
I would make lots of cheese instead.
This is a fantastic video, really authentic and great clear instructions!
I’m so happy how excited you guys are! Hope looks like a great addition to your Homestead and I can’t wait to see how you use the butter in delicious recipes!
O
Hi Kevin and Sarah, that was so fun! I loved it, I am sure that it is a lot of work but it is so amazing how you can just whip out butter like that! My ex husbands aunt and uncle had a contraption where you pour in the milk and start it to spin and milk came out one spout and cream came out another! That day they showed me was the best cup of coffee with cream i have ever had! Happy milking!
Jenenda 🍅🍅🍅
That is called a cream separator, but they are very expensive.
Yes. I remember my aunt and uncles contraption. It was called a separater
I'm so glad you told us about the liquid level 😲I never knew that!
i ofudn out the hard way once while making salsa - what a mess
I've made butter from heavy cream from the store as an experiment, bought fresh mild and done it that way as well. The fresh cow milk wins hands down. If I had an unlimited supply, I would probably make a lot of puff pastry dough to have on hand (love turnovers!) and use some to make ghee or clarified butter, which makes the butter a higher smoke temperature. Love your videos and pray that you are all healthy and have many more years of joy on your homestead.
Yummm, home made butter 😋 Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Edit: Shortbread Cookies 😋
recipes: chicken Kiev, buttermilk biscuits with butter as the fat and with actual buttermilk and then put butter on them too, shortbread (cookies), and "quick" or 10-minute puff pastry, which will give you croissants and fruit danishes and savory dishes as well. And popcorn with plenty of butter.
Love this video! It was an immense help to me as I research making butter at home for one of my own shows. Had to subscribe. Can't wait to check out all your other content!
Hi Great video. I used to help my grandmother make butter with an old wooden churn. She milked her own cow by hand too.
Well, according to WWI calculations you can march with rucksack 20 miles per pound of butter. With unlimited butter, you could invade France.
HAHAHAHA!
THAT is a priceless example of war stories to be passed down! You should collect more! There's a definite timeline on how long you can collect those! There's only so long those who'll remember them will be around.🥺 but. Those who'll love to read/hear them, will always be coming along with each new generation! And THOSE are always going to be enjoyed and revered...please, DO collect and PUBLISH those old witticisms..💗🙏💝
Another reason for cheesecloth and the old dairyhouse cement/stone sink with rainwater running in...🤔😉
Recipes...shortbread, boeterkook, various flavoured butters, creams...( *pure* creams freeze well, ) milk-notsomuch
Good morning. I wish i was able to buy fresh heavy cream instead of buying it in the supermarket. I would love to make my own butter. As always, thanks for such an informative video. God bless.
Amazing system for collecting the milk. You do this very clean and efficient. Enjoyable and informative videos. You have great enthusiasm, and such a sweet smile.
Awesome video thats definitely way easier than a churn. Thanks for sharing Takecare
Can you make a video on the types of milk genetically and pro’s and con’s of each
Also why you don’t drink the skim milk? Videos of cheese making, etc would be a wonderful series too
Wonderful ideas for making it much faster and less tiresome! Thank you! Just a thought, try adding your salt before you whip it up, then you don't have to work it in so hard at the end and it will mix throughout well. Also, adding herbs and garlic for flavored butter is a delight to cook with and can be added prior to whipping! Extra time saved for other tasks and fun things! 😁 It really is a joy to see you and the family share your lives! Thank you.
If you add salt and herbs before you churn it doesn't that mess up the buttermilk?
I have never had fresh milk, butter or anything like this. I’m going to go buy some and try it😁
There is nothing like fresh milk. It tastes a little like half-n-half only better.
I just wanted to be held.
I just got some fresh cows milk and am planning to make butter and cheese today! I can't wait, thanks so much for sharing this.
I know a lot of recommendations for buttered biscuits and toast, along with baking various cookies and other baked goods. Save some for your steaks, after they are cooked and resting add a dollop of butter or herb-flavored butter on them. Hmmmm Hmmmm good, no steak sauce needed.
I think I would freeze some of it and save it for Christmas cookies. That would be delicious!
Thank you for the great bit of advice! My wife and I are in the initial process of researching ideas for a homestead. Although we are a ways off from starting, videos like this help drive us towards that goal.
Now onto your request for info on what we would do with that much butter. The only thing that comes to mind right now.... Invest in a slip-n-slide.
This is so cool, i dont have a cow but now i want one! im going to attempt this with store bought heavy cream. thanks for such a clear and informative video!
What a great idea that Hillbilly had!!! I wish I was close to you to buy fresh milk if you sold.
Fantastic time saving ideas, thank you!
If you have a cake maker local, they might like the home made butter to make their cakes.
We have just taken on 3 Dexter cows and a Bullock. We will breed them at some point so we can use their milk. I bought a goat for that purpose but it turns out hubby doesn't like goats milk so I just use it for cooking. 😩
Thank you. I really appreciate how you explain everything. I did not know about 4 chambers in a cows udder. Very interesting.☺
I so enjoyed watching your video where you made butter. It brought back a wonderful memory i would like to share with you. I had polio when i was 3 and wore leg braces. My mother would fill a quart jar with fresh cream, fill a small green cut glass with raisins and set me on the couch. I would roll the jar up and down my brace and make butter! It made me feel so good at 5 and 6 years to help the family. Thanks for the memory. Love your videos!
Omg this is so wild lol but it's incredible!!!!!! Use that buttermilk for your garden ton of protein !!!!!
Land-O-Lakes....eat your heart out.
I remember as a kid my dad had so many cows freshening at the same time, he had to resort to using the wringer washer to make his butter. He'd wash it out with super hot soapy waster and dump all of his cream in and make it in one batch. He'd use the wooden paddle to scrape out the butter and shape into balls that were 6 inches across. I remember He'd place them in a row across the back of the fridge and up the right side of the fridge. They were so dark orange cuz they came from cows that just freshened. That butter tasted so good.
Can u make some yogurt and sour cream to show us how too.
Take a gallon of milk and mix less then half of pint yogurt in it cover it up hide in your oven for over night (dont turn on the oven)
Patriot Pakistanian search crockpot yogurt on UA-cam. It’s the best you’ve ever had. The longer you strain it determines whether it’s reg yogurt, Greek yogurt or creme freshe.
And cottage cheese
Very easy.. boil milk and let that little cold. Add some amount of yogurt and cover the container. Keep for all night till the next day it converts the whole into yogurt. Take the yogurt into a juicer with some ice cubes and it will separate the yogurt into sour water and butter. Now put the sour water in a cotton sack and let the liquid drop out of small pores till you see a sour cheese in the sack....
