fkding Butter
Mrs. Climmie Walton, a resident in the
Eleven Hundred Community North of Carthage,
Texas, loves to talk about the old-fashioned ways
of doing things. One of the old-fashioned ways
she loves is the making of butter. Here is her
recipe.
"To make buttermilk and butter, wash the
cow's udder (bag) and teats thoroughly and dry
with a clean soft cloth.
Milk the cow. Then strain the milk through
a clear white cloth or a filter of some kind.
To cool sweet milk, pbt the container in which
the sweet milk has been strained into a larger
container. Now, pour cold water into the con-
tainer around the sweet milk. Stir the milk con-
stantly, about seven minutes or until cooled.
Remove the milk from the water. Cover and
wait for a process cal led 'turning.' The cream
will rise on top of the milk. In about two or
three days the milk will sour and curd and the
cream will set.
It is now ready to be churned. This may be
done with an electric churn or by hand, with the
old-fashioned wooden dasher. The cream turns to
butter. You churn with the wooden dasher. This
is done with an upward and downward motion,
holding the dasher very straight to keep from
spilling the milk.25
