Making Butter
This week we are still without a washer and dryer. I am learning some very interesting things. I will be writing a separate post just about our laundry adventures very soon.
The boys are loving everything about hanging the clothes on the line and taking them off the line. Do I really want that new washer and dryer?
We bought some cream at the store to see if we could make butter. I halved the cream between two glass canning jars and let the boys shake the jars like crazy.
One of the boys decided to stop shaking once his hit a nice whipped cream stage. He said he wanted to use it later for hot chocolate. The other boy decided to shake until he started to hear a thumping noise in his jar.
He was really excited to find a lump of butter.
We put the butter lump on a flour sack and squeezed out the excess liquid.
That night we used our butter on roasted corn and piping hot biscuits. It was very good. It is always so exciting to be able to make things yourself!!!
Sounds like your little guys had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time! Thank you for the comment!
DeleteI like your shots of the boys shaking the cream. I captured a couple of similar shots w/ my kids when we made butter.
