[2026] How to Make Butter at the Bloomsburg Fair.
00:02 - Hey, we're at a airport.
00:04 - All you need is heavy operation,
00:08 - you know, on the farm.
00:10 - We would say the cream of the mill for a week at a time.
00:16 - And then by Saturday, it was ready to be tear turned into butter.
00:21 - And we had sour cream.
00:24 - This is going to be a sweet cream. Butter.
00:27 - So you have two different flavors going on.
00:29 - The sour cream made more of a tart,
00:34 - taste to the butter.
00:36 - This will have more of a sweet taste.
00:38 - And we used salt when we did
00:41 - the cream into butter on the farm.
00:45 - But I don't bring salt anymore because there was one lady,
00:49 - one time that had a she.
00:52 - She swore she would taste the salt.
00:54 - And I don't know how, because I did not use that much salt.
00:59 - But salt also helps to bring the butter milk out of the butter.
01:03 - That's buttermilk. You put it. Oh, it's whipping cream.
01:05 - It's whipping cream.
01:06 - Oh, it's just plain whipping cream.
01:09 - Oh, you're making fun of the buttermilk will come out.
01:11 - Oh my God. You can butter.
01:15 - Making buttermilk.
01:16 - Yeah.
01:16 - You know that was butter that butter or making butter.
01:21 - But the butter is a by-product of making butter.
01:25 - Okay.
01:27 - But it's all about not just the liquid.
01:32 - I got me.
01:48 - If you want to make this at home,
01:49 - just go to your local food store and just get everything right.
01:53 - That's all you have to get.
01:55 - And I have the steps all over here at the end.
01:58 - If you want to take a picture of it with your phone to
02:03 - do it at home, try it at home.
02:06 - It's over here waiting for you.
02:09 - All. Right.
02:16 - Your second.
02:22 - Very, very.
02:37 - Butter.
02:44 - Does that.
02:52 - Game.
02:53 - What?
02:56 - Are you
02:57 - whatever you use to make your body with the only one.
03:01 - So with half way, I want that air circulation on
03:06 - is that water?
03:08 - So this is a gallon, a gallon jug, gallon churn.
03:13 - So we only put two quarts of
03:16 - cream with the.
03:24 - Oh, that I like
03:26 - the other one I have just put in.
03:30 - That is the most important part.
03:32 - And agitate lead and agitate.
03:36 - You can do.
03:37 - It's ready to go.
03:38 - Where do you.
03:40 - Well when you when we want this turn
03:44 - the agitator though this whole thing all came with it.
03:47 - The egg beater.
03:48 - Oh you can.
03:50 - It's slops all over the place.
03:51 - But unless you have a deep dish.
03:54 - Other than that, you could use a jar and be creative.
03:58 - I have some different things in here that too easy for the agitator.
04:01 - We'll look at those later.
04:06 - For sure.
04:07 - But the next part you just stand for in
04:09 - or shape or however you put.
04:16 - Your.
04:25 - Electrical.
04:30 - Right
04:31 - here.
04:33 - So the other trick is don't use all your free
04:38 - set your cream out the night before or in the morning.
04:43 - So it's up to room temperature when you're ready
04:46 - to make your butter.
05:10 - As your.
05:34 - The main thing is just to keep a steady,
05:36 - a steady thing that a lot of times when we
05:40 - when school teachers have kids do the shake the bottle thing
05:43 - to do, some kids shake real hard, some kids don't shake.
05:46 - So hard.
05:47 - And it takes a long time passing the bottle around the circle
05:51 - for the kids to get butter that way, because you have something
05:54 - in the in the bottle when you shake it, all right?
05:57 - They just shake it.
05:58 - But there is some you can.
06:00 - Yeah, you need an agitator
06:02 - like, you see, there was an agitator down in here because that's what separates
06:06 - the butterfat away from the rest of the liquid.
06:11 - What did you use as an extra pair?
06:14 - Well, I thought if your hair that has some different ideas.
06:18 - Okay, a little wooden block, something that you can wash really easy.
06:23 - I have some plastic links in there off of.
06:26 - You just charge students bottles and they are harder.
06:30 - Plastic is better than a softer plastic.
06:34 - I have one of those rubber bouncy ball.
06:36 - They're just the right size.
06:39 - But just make sure you wash everything real fluid before you put it in.
06:42 - Today's talk to do the agitate.
06:46 - Yeah, I can feel it.
06:48 - I can feel your hand on. Oh, okay.
06:51 - Change is happening. Yeah, I did.
06:53 - So what did you start with? This whole milk?
06:56 - Oh, I'm heavy, heavy whipping cream.
06:58 - I want to try it.
07:01 - Yeah,
07:02 - and hopefully you'll feel better about.
07:05 - Yes, you will see the is going on here.
07:09 - Yeah.
07:10 - It looks like it looks like it
07:12 - looks it's getting sick back.
07:16 - Oh, this is a lot quicker than the all time with a doctor.
07:20 - Okay.
07:21 - But you always see on the old TV people making fun of they have one
07:24 - for the basketball.
07:25 - Well, now Dasher became the agitator.
07:28 - Yeah.
07:28 - Okay, so without a lot of movement that was off his
07:32 - shoulders.
07:40 - You see it in there?
07:41 - It's like that.
07:42 - Yeah, I can see butter here on the side.
07:45 - You want to see what it looks like?
07:47 - Yeah, I know what it looks.
07:49 - Now I got a quick up. Come on over here.
07:51 - Look, I'll just lift it up enough that you can look in there.
07:55 - That's.
07:55 - Oh, yeah. That's. Yeah.
07:57 - Mom says still needs a little bit more. Turn him.
07:59 - Looks like whipped butter.
08:01 - Yeah. Let's turn it one.
08:04 - Yeah. Put it on there I'll take it for you.
08:05 - I try to go ahead and then I could say I may be fair.
08:10 - Well stick around because you can face the boy that it's down
08:14 - the slid.
08:18 - Yeah.
08:19 - I still go a lot right now.
08:21 - Okay.
08:23 - I'll switch properties.
08:26 - I will help you again.
08:28 - It will get it.
08:30 - It's not right.
08:31 - We're gonna push it.
08:32 - Yeah, that's just
08:35 - because of the hill.
08:36 - Oh, the handle. That is right.
08:39 - Still looks like.
08:43 - Oh, thank God I got it.
08:45 - Okay. Go ahead.
08:46 - How should I make the butter?
08:49 - How's it better to go slow like that?
08:50 - Yeah, not not real fast.
08:52 - Just a nice nice nice steady.
08:56 - Okay.
09:03 - Now. Want to try?
09:07 - I worked in there with the heavy cream.
09:11 - I just never got around.
09:13 - Yeah, I wanted to do a half a dozen times.
09:16 - I just never did. Not.
09:21 - Like to start
09:25 - from the get go.
09:31 - Right.
09:34 - Here.
09:36 - Yep. Now, let's get this started to watch down there.
09:39 - I see it then. Stop, stop.
09:41 - Yeah I want you to do that.
09:42 - Are you up to bang it or go down in or not? No.
09:46 - Okay,
09:48 - okay.
09:50 - Oh. Faster.
09:52 - Just a little bit more.
09:54 - Get it all together and get the the milk going here.
09:58 - Now, what do you see sliding down the jar now?
10:02 - Is it the buttermilk? Buttermilk.
10:04 - It has separated the buttered fat out of the rest of the liquid.
10:09 - And what you see now, going down over the edge of the jar inside is the buttermilk.
10:14 - Okay?
10:16 - Fine.
10:18 - You could you could tell if it was going back.
10:21 - Yeah. We've you can't.
10:23 - It gets a rancid smell to
10:26 - the chamber.
10:26 - Let me tell. Me.
10:39 - But we got to taste the butter.
10:41 - Oh, you better believe it.
10:43 - We've got good bread down here and everything
10:46 - like.
10:52 - That.
10:58 - This is why you want a wide mouth.
11:00 - You're.
11:01 - If you're going to do this at home, you want something with a wide mouth.
11:10 - Feel you never wanted.
11:33 - Yeah.
11:36 - Now, what's left in there is your buttermilk.
11:40 - You would use that?
11:41 - My mother had a recipe for chocolate cake.
11:44 - They used buttermilk pancakes,
11:48 - things like that.
11:49 - They use buttermilk,
11:52 - but it's not like your buttermilk that you buy in the store.
11:54 - No, it's it's different. Yes, different.
11:57 - I mean, if I use this buttermilk to make pancakes,
12:01 - I always add a little bit of vinegar to what you think because,
12:05 - they still, even though it says heavy whipping cream,
12:08 - it's still been through a process where you don't have all of the stuff
12:12 - that you would have if you had it straight from the cow, like
12:16 - we had it on the farm.
12:19 - Hey, let me clean my hand off here
12:23 - and then I'll show you the next.
12:36 - You know, on the farm, we kind of go
12:38 - like this twice as big as what this
12:42 - hand.
12:44 - Over the years, it developed a crack through it.
12:48 - And my mother, in her wisdom up towards that one, into the crack, put a nail.
12:53 - Yeah.
12:53 - So that that crack was always open and that buttermilk drained
12:57 - right down to that crash into a bowl underneath.
13:04 - Okay.
13:05 - You take your paddle and you start working your butter
13:09 - because you want to try and get as much buttermilk
13:12 - out of the butter as what you possibly can.
13:16 - And this is where I would add a little bit of salt at home
13:22 - after I was working the butter.
13:24 - Because again, the salt helps to bring the
13:28 - the buttermilk out of the butter.
13:31 - And it also gave it.
13:34 - It also brought the flavor out to.
13:43 - You know.
13:56 - It used to be a joke going around
13:59 - who's the meanest person in the world?
14:03 - And the answer was the cook because she paddles the butter
14:08 - and she beats the eggs.
14:13 - So you started with heavy lifting, heavy whipping cream.
14:16 - That's that's all. That's all you need.
14:19 - What is your ratio of butter to cream like that?
14:23 - You get out of your cream. Well,
14:26 - this this was two quarts of cream.
14:29 - Right.
14:30 - And so you're seeing you see the amount of butter that you have here.
14:34 - And then you see the amount of butter in here.
14:36 - Is that about a pound about about maybe a little bit more.
14:41 - It looks like more, but that's, that's what you would look for in the store.
14:44 - Heavy whipping cream.
14:46 - Yeah.
14:47 - And like I said, make sure you keep it,
14:50 - get it up to room temperature.
14:53 - Could you get more butter depending on the butter fat.
14:58 - We had jerseys and guernseys on the farm
15:03 - and their, their butterfat content was very, very hard.
15:08 - Holsteins.
15:09 - Holsteins are bred not to have a lot of fun of fat.
15:14 - You don't know they're, they're your bread milk their bread for the milk.
15:18 - Yeah.
15:20 - Because we didn't have.
15:23 - Oh why. Not.
15:28 - There is very butter.
15:32 - Let's.
15:44 - So maybe
15:45 - I need a nice
15:47 - that Diana said they're upstairs with with our team and stuff.
15:52 - She said there's all kinds of silverware up there, but I need a knife.
15:55 - Just a knife.
15:59 - Know I got a good story. So.
16:07 - Okay.
16:08 - The gentleman first.
16:09 - Oh, and then the lady. Sure.
16:11 - Tonight, because you too.
16:12 - Well get me well, this lady go first.
16:15 - Let me go first.
16:16 - I said, because it's.
16:17 - You get a chunk of bread.
16:20 - Help yourself to a piece of butter.
16:27 - And for me,
16:29 - at the table for
16:32 - this moment, all they know is.
16:36 - Thank you.
16:37 - Good.
16:37 - Who's that?
16:39 - Yeah.
16:41 - That's delicious.
16:43 - Yeah. You.
