- In this video my good friend shows me how to make butter. It's the same steps she used as a young girl helping her mother, except she uses heavy whipping cream instead of fresh cream and a food processor instead of a churn.
I've made butter like this before, in a food processor, but never knew I was supposed to wash the butter until Carolyn showed me.

I have that same food processor 35 years old.
@@kathyhughes4047 I do too!!!! I inherited it from my Mom, and I LOVE it! You could use it as a boat anchor if it ever breaks down... lol!
This is a brilliant idea. And unbelievably affordable, save me a lot of note-taking. I hope you have more of these little ebooks planned?
@@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers I do if I can just get them done 🙂
I don't think it will. If it's lasted this long. lol
My grandparents had several milk cows and my grandma used to make homemade butter I still have her churns and her butter molds they originally belong to my great grandma they are over 100 years old
what lovely memories and great keepsakes to have!
What a treasure!!
My granny just reused small margarine bowls with lids. I’ve made store butter, but it just doesn’t taste the same as cow butter (as she called it) from your own cows. ❤
My parents and grandparents made butter
I helped churn the milk to make the butter.
Decades later my grandmother was gifted an electric churn. What a blessing for my Gramms☺️
This is too cool. I definitely need to try making me some butter
Dad used to put the clambered milk in a gallon jar, screw the lid on tight and give it to us kids. We would roll it back and forth between us. It made butter in no time without having to wash great granny's wooden churn.
I remember great-grandma sitting in a rocking chair. She had the fresh milk in a big glass jar and she'd rock the chair and shake the jar till the butter came.
Ok, now I need a pone of cracklin cornbread to go with that butter. And I guess a big pot of any kind of green's. And I guess some pinto bean's. And maybe some fried tater's too.
Now I'm hungry. Mama used to call this a "country supper."
I still make fresh butter for special family dinner celebrations. I use wooden molds from my great-grandmother.
I had some wooden molds that looked like baby chicks but I lost them in one of the tornadoes that came through
I never heard of butter molds till now! eBay here I come 🤣🤣🤣😍
I recently discovered your channel and absolutely love it. It reminds me of all the things that my granny and grandpa did. She didn't have a cow so this is the first time I've ever watched butter being made. They lived in SW Virginia and we lived in Florida but we drove up to see them often. Granny passed on Jan 17th 1987. Had she lived until March 12 they would have been married 75 years. They married when she was 14 and he was 18. She had her first child the day before her 15th birthday and had 11 children. Nine of those lived to be adults, one was stillborn and the other passed before he was two years old. I'm the youngest granddaughter and I was born after they had been married 51 years. I miss them terribly. The old homeplace has been torn down, but her dairy, where she kept her canned stuff is still standing. Thank you for bringing back so many good memories.
Thank you Aliene!
I never would have thought to use a food processor to make butter but makes sense now that I've seen it. When I was a kid in the 60s, our neighbor had a cow but didn't like the cream. I'd go over and get the cream and use a mayo or canning jar to make fresh butter! Shake, shake, shake! The neighbors didn't like butter, either, only margarine! Have to wash and salt or it will turn rancid. We strained at the end through cheesecloth or cotton dish towel....yum, fresh butter on biscuits or cornbread, what could be better!
Such a precious friend you're blessed with Tipper. She's so beautiful and soft spoken. Thank you for sharing this great video and as always, you never disappoint.
I so agree! She has such a sweet, gentle way about her.
I tried this today, I don’t know if I’ll go back to my store bought. Thank you!
Grandma used to let us have the buttermilk. We would put fresh ground pepper in it.
Fav memories as a a kid going to visit Grand Uncle Jim and Aunt Paris. They had a cow we would help milk. Then would help churn butter. They tried so hard to fool us in drinking the fresh milk. We need to get back to those simpler times.
I milked a cow and also churned and made butter. I’m so glad I lived a life similar t yours. but I’m 79 and witnessed most of these old ways. Love your show😊
My wife used to make butter with the kids. She would use a maison jar and got the kids to tumble the cream in the jar, so they could watch the process and butter their bread with the end result. It was a learning experience. Since we are city dwellers, it is not something you witness very often. The kids loved this exercise. Thanks Tipper and company! 😊🇨🇦
Remember as a child going to a family reunion one time where my Grandma was raised near Ceres Va. Can't remember the relatives name or association but she lived in a old log cabin back in a holler. The first time I'd ever tried homemade butter. It was heaven. The yardstick that all other is measured by. It was a small cabin but she had a new (1950's or so), huge addition on the back that was her kitchen . She also had homemade cottage cheese. Could eat that butter by itself ,and I did. So rich, yellow and salty, pretty wood molded cake of butter. I imagine that cake of butter will never be topped.
I love this video Tipper showing the old ways.They need to be continued. I hope you do more like this.
Well I will be a pickled pepper. GUESS WHAT the next home school lesson is going to be! Woo hooo!
Two great Southern ladies 😀. Your videos are amazing 😀. We're so glad we stumbled upon your videos.
Your mom's our favorite video. Reminds me of my husband's nother before she passed. These folk's are the salt of God's green 💚 earth.
We can't express our grandkids too you for these awesome videos 😀
So glad you're enjoying our videos!!
Now, that brought back some bush memories of 60 years plus. 12 months back, I showed my Grandkids how to do this, cream and the old hand crank egg-beater.
My daddy loved buttermilk. This is probably why. Thanks for sharing Tipper! ❤
My great grandmother and grand mother made butter with a churn. They both made 2 types of butter. One that was washed really well and another that they called table butter that was just kneaded and not washed. The "Table butter" wasnt salted and put out on the table for cornbread or whatever. It was delicious.
The 'buttermilk" that was left over was used for all kinds of bakery stuff etc.
I’ve made this several times now. My family and friends love it.
We used to get raw milk in gallon jars.. The cream would be at the top. We would pour it into a quart jar and start shaking! Homemade butter and FRESH hot bread cannot be beat!!!!!
Almost 50 years ago when we move on to our 4 acres of land, we had a neighbor who had a milk cow & she would sell us fresh milk. I would make small batches of butter from the milk she sold us & it was so good. I made it in small batches in a mason jar & just shook the fire out of it to get it to make the butter. I never knew about washing it & never knew it could be made from whipping cream. I learn so much from your videos. Thank you & Hugs!
Awesome. I watched my grandma make butter. Sometimes I helped with the churning. I have her butter mold. It’s round & when you push it out it had flower design on top. Wonderful memories
I helped my grandmother churn butter when I was a little girl even learned how to milk cows I enjoyed it
I remember watching my Mama wash the butter. We had a cow and churned the clambered milk into butter in the crock with the dasher, then Mama would wash & salt the butter and put in the wooden butter mold, then chill it in the fridge.I got to work the dasher up and down in the churn. I loved the fresh buttermilk!
Another great video! I remember seeing my grandmother using a big jar and just shaking it to make butter. She probably had something solid inside to help agitate. The kids elementary school class used baby food jars with a coin to mix the cream and they were so excited to bring home fresh butter.
Thank ya Thank ya Thank ya!!!!!! I was going to ask you about making butter. It never failed, that when we went to visit my grandparents on the farm, Granny would be churning butter. Her first name was carved in her molds and her butter was always in high demand. She would catch the Trailways bus in front of her house to go sell her butter. It cost her 25 cents each way.
As a child I loved to watch my Granny churn butter and wash and mold it. Delicious! One of the few times she scolded me was when I scooped a bite😊She lived in Murphy N.C. for years. Love your videos,brings back memories.
I love hearing the stories of the older generation an how they did food
Precious memories! We had a milk cow on our farm and making butter was something I always helped with. I loved it then and still today would much rather have fresh milk and butter.
Very interesting. And Carolyn seems like a real nice lady. 😊
I remember my wife put some ice cubes in the blender with our cream (Yes we had dairy cows) and then process. She said the colder the better and the few cubes didn't hurt anything cause she washed out the butter and also used wooden spoons to fold the butter and squeeze out most of the liquid. That liquid back then was called buttermilk to us. Nowadays it's different. PS Tipper, does she know any woman like you two that can garden, cook, keep house etc that are single? Lol. One more thing, if you use store bought milk be sure and DON'T use ULTRA pasteurized milk, the bacteria in the milk has all been destroyed and won't make butter.
🙂 I'll have to ask her. Thanks for watching!
I’ve commented before. Congrats on 200K subs. I have been reading my grandmas book (again). In 1960 the milk and beef markets were very depressed. Grandma and Grandpa had a small milk dairy in Vevay, Indiana. They joined a farmers union who told them to dump their milk rather than sell it for such cheap prices. Grandma couldn’t do that. My grandma said that at that time she had just purchased a new agitator washing machine and she cleaned the washer really well and put the cream in the machine and made butter for herself. She then put the butter in the freezer. I vaguely remember she made some of her own butter but was not from that time, I would have been 2 years old then. Thought I’d share that.
Thank you for sharing that story 😀
Thank your guest for this demonstration!! And thank you!
Thank you! I’ve made butter before, but didn’t realize how important it was to get all of the milk out. I’ll be trying this again 😊
Butter looks so good
It goes bad faster the more milk that's left in it
Really! I churned butter for my children, but never knew how to finish processing it, either. Thank you for sharing this. ❣️
Thank you for sharing. This was so thorough i m going to give it a try.
I will be making me some homemade butter. Thank You for sharing!
The smile at the end.
Great video!
I've made butter this way and I use that milk in my pancakes and biscuits and anything that calls for milk. It's delicious. Thanks for this technique from your friend.
This was amazing. I can't believe all the things you do. Love this channel. Thank you for sharing.
I watched my grandma make butter. I didn’t know you could make it like this. I would love to try this.
My daughter and I are watching your Appalachian Food playlist as part of our Appalachian Arts homeschool lessons this year (2023). Your channel will be a wonderful resource to supplement our homeschool lessons as she is studying Appalachian History, Arts, and Literature...as well as Regenerative Agriculture. We appreciate your channel!
That is so wonderful! Thank you 😀
You and your life are a tonic for my soul!😍
Thank you for the kind words!
Awesome video!! I literally just finished make butter by following her example..
Thank you ladies for this video. It really makes you think about all the work it took and the time. I see why my Granny only cooked two meals a day.
I remember sitting behind the heating stove and shaking the big mason jar to get butter. 8 kids and we all took turns shaking it. Forgot about it till now. It didn't seem like work, only doing our part. We were the food processor!
Well that's wonderful. I've been waiting for someone to show me butter making at home.
Thank you both So much for making fresh butter. I tried once about 40 years ago but had no real idea what I was doing. I think I'm gonna try this.
I've heard the term washing the butter but never knew what was meant by it. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for showing me how to make homemade butter. I haven’t had this in 50 Years! Now, I need to make a cake of hot cornbread!😍
When I was little, my Aunt Dana taught me how to churn butter. She had the most beautiful wooden mold to put it in and into the frig to firm up
Beautiful! Butter AND buttermilk... perfect for some fresh homemade biscuits and jam!
Thank you for sharing this-this is the best way to know exactly what is in our butter. I have heard rumors that some of the manufacturers add shortening or other fillers. Melody B in NC
When I was early in my nursing career, I worked on the floor, and many of my patients would request buttermilk and cornbread or crackers as a bedtime snack.
So happy to see this video! My grandma in Alabama made butter with clabbered cream. It was soooooo good on a hot biscuit! I’ve looked everywhere for this style of butter in stores, but never find anything but “sweet cream” butter. When Grandma McDonald got an electric churn she thought she had it made.
I have a Glass, hand cranked butter churn, I have not used it since I refurbished it. I used to sit and watch my aunt hand churn her butter in the same type churn that I have. I loved to drink the buttermilk. My Aunt and Granny used old Gray Stone Butter crocks to mold it in.
I did not realize this was so easy with a food processor! Thanks Carolyn and Tipper!
My Daddy used to get fresh milk from a local farmer and skim the cream off of the top and put it in a mason jar and shake the fire out of it and we had fresh butter. I don't know if he washed like that or not. I just love watching your videos. Makes me feel all homey. Maybe I should live in the Appalacias
Very interesting…my Granny made butter and I remember helping churn it…I have one of her churns & cherish the memories….
Brenda
I enjoy making my own butter and some cheese too, it brings back memories from my childhood.
Love this. Thank you. God Bless you an yours
Wow ...I'm excited I can't wait. To get my granddaughter this weekend so we can make butter and yogurt.
Tipper we just bought a food processor and my husband Brian made butter as you directed and it taste amazing! We saved the buttermilk in the freezer for buttermilk cheddar biscuits and nothing was wasted! Im going to make some fresh bread to go with our butter! Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed day
Wonderful 😀
I will definitely be doing this and surprising my family.
you are perfect people, such wonderful things you share .
I'm 67 and we had a milk cow, until I was in 10th grade and I helped my Mama churn to make the butter. It took awhile 😓
I ve watched it again, and love seeing you make butter again..tfs
Well thank you so much for showing how to make butter.
I missed the washing part when I made butter too! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this wonderful video.
I've seen butter made countless times and this was the most relaxing mesmerizing enjoyable video of the lot I've ever seen ... thank you again 🙏👏
I could listen to them talk literally allllll day 😍
Wowww!! Never knew this!👏👍
I must try this. The butter looked perfect. Thank you Ladies. Much appreciated.
Great video, thank you Tipper!
My grandmother always made butter in a churn or sometimes I go to her house she would be sitting in her rocking chair shaking the glass jug and then she would skim the butter from the top, I think. I was just a little girl, but sometimes she would let me help and I would churn the jar. Lol
Thanks, I'll be trying this method.
❤️
My mother put salt on the table then wet her hands and put her ten fingers down on the salt and and what stuck to her finger tips then mixed it in one pound of butter.
That way she never over salted. I think that's a great way to churn butter we used a wooden churn after letting the milk clabber and saved the butter milk. I guess you noticed its hard to find real butter milk in the stores. The only one i find that tastes like real butter milk is Mullenburg which I find in Publics it has little pieces of butter floating around it. love your videos. You take me back to happier times when we made our own or do without. I see you are from Clay county N.C. I was from Jackson county , N.C. Now I live in Clay county Florida. But I still miss home.
Ernest-isn't it amazing your mother figured out a way to get the salt just right-I love that!
A deep dive into the Celebrating Appalachia archives brings up another jewel.
🙂
Mrs pressly .I did it... It was so easy and cool. I made two batches one plain like this one and the second batch I added cinnamon Suger and honey... I will nvr buy butter again. Omg ..wish I knew this long ago. Wish my mom was still here to see ... Thank you so much ...
Yay! Wonderful 😀
Thank you to both of you ladies for sharing this. I've only made butter at church once but we didn't wash it either and it stayed runny. So thankful 🙏😋💛
Beautiful.
This was reality interesting. Thank you Tipper.❤
One grocery store locally has Amish butter which we like,but that looks very good!!
I just found your channel about a week ago and I can’t get enough of it it is so beautiful I am going to be ordering your book I’m so excited and I just found out that you also read books stories You make it so exciting to hear the stories you have such a peaceful voice I enjoy everything you have shown so far you are godsend I’m looking forward to catching up on all your shows and seeing granny and your family It’s been Such a treat to see use thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for your reply!
I need to make it this way, I have made some before, but apparently didn't get it rinsed as well. Thank you for sharing.
I'm going to give this a try using Horizon Organic Heavy Cream. My granny used to make butter in a churn. We would help churn but never stuck around to see what she did after we helped her churn. Thank you both!
Such a fabulous, relaxing video.
I’m looking foreward to fineally making my own butter!! I’m watch in’ real close!!! Thank you ma’am for sharing this! Grateful! Hi and love to all!!
I enjoyed watching miss buttermilk make easy butter. Since she said she makes and keeps it regularly please send me her address. LOL. My mouth ran hot water just to look at that batch of yummy. I may just try it myself. I am so envious of you all and the heavenly place you call home. You're doing a great thing for your region. Somehow you sound and act like one of my own relatives. My people were from Laurel, Mississippi. God bless you and your lovely family.
🙂 Thank you Pamela!
I am so happy to see that subscribers are climbing, you deserve all of it. Your content is so good. A little bit of everything for everyone. Thank you for all the hard work and well thought out videos you produce!😊🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
Wow! I may have to try making butter!
Amazing, thanks
Wow! I had no idea.
Thank you for showing us how to make butter it’s not as hard as I thought. Hugs patsy
Hey Tipper! I made butter today! Got 3 cups! Tasty! I had a piece of butter toast to try it out! I think next time I’ll add some ice to the water..to make the water colder and will probably make the butter firmer! Thanks to your friend for showing us how to make it!
Wonderful 😀
