INGREDIENTS
I can of double cream which is at room
temperature. If taking it out of the fridge, leave it in a
warm room for an hour. This will speed up the butter making
process.
1 jam jar with a lid |
METHOD
|
YOUR CHILD
- Pour cream into the jam jar so that it is about a quarter
full.
Don't fill up any more because the cream needs lots of room to
move around in the jar |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
YOUR
CHILD - put the lid securely on the jar (adult to check) and
then shake vigorously.
Shake it up and
down so that the cream hits the top and bottom of the jar. Don't
stop! |
|

|
|
YOUR
CHILD - The
butter has formed. Discard the
buttermilk around it and pour cold water into the jar. Shake
lightly for 5 seconds then throw the water away. Repeat
until the water is clear and you have removed all the buttermilk
from the outside of the butter
|
|

|
|
YOUR
CHILD - Now squeeze any remaining butter milk
from the butter. This is important because buttermilk quickly
goes sour. Squeeze the butter with your hand or the back of a
spoon. Throw away the squeezed out butter milk. |
 |
|
YOUR
CHILD - The butter will be slightly warm from being squeezed so
put it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
It's now ready to
use.
|
|
YOUR
CHILD - Make a
jam sandwich or whatever sandwich takes your fancy using the
ultra fresh butter you have just made.
