Like does anyone make 100% butter anymore or ??? YouTube expert

My mom would skim off the cream and put it in an antique glass churn with a hand crank. I don't recall if anything else was added, maybe salt. Been a long time.

danny clifton "Grumpy Old Man" D Joined: Dec 2006 williamsburg ks	When I was a kid there was a dairy right down the road. The cows were Guernseys not Holsteins. They were fed corn silage and hay. They don't have near the amount of milk that holsteins have but twice the cream. We would skim cream off and put it in a quart jar. Just shake it to make butter. The cream that didnt turn to butter is butter milk. Tastes nothing like what they sell in grocery stores. Best biscuits and pancakes are made with that stuff. They put olive oil or whatever in commercial butter to make it spread better for people to lazy to warm it up a bit. you can buy 100% butter here in any grocery store. it tastes fine to me Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We use butter for almost all of our cooking but a gallon of milk lasts a good while unless the grands are here. And I'm not about to learn cheese making. The calf wouldn't be an issue though as we do eat beef. That and I ain't got the land to feed a cow/calf.

When a kid with the one cow (Holstein) We drank a lot of milk with 6 kids. We would skim off the cream and store until we had a 2 quart jar about 3/4 full or a bit more. We would then take turns turning and shaking while listening to the radio etc. We then had butter and butter milk for pancakes and waffles too! We did not add any salt or coloring. We just used it as butter fat. We use a lot of lard too when we butchered the hogs.Made a lot of doughnuts with lard. Bryce

And I can remember as a kid my parents driving the family from Milwaukee to the Wisconsin/Illinois border to buy a couple of cases of margarine. Megapredator ... top of the food chain!

Can't recall the butterfat content but I do know that the best milk comes straight from the tap. And I liked her fuzzy ears. Some young doc somewhere would have a conniption fit over that today.

In fact if you put it on the ground nothing will eat it. Sadly it is added to much of the commercial foods made nowadays, peanut butter is full of it as are most other foods. For cooking eggs, I use butter/, olive oil, for deep fry oil, I use lard, I rendered my moose fat this year and, its real good. Beef tallow is good, I also save bacon grease and use that. Bear would be good too. https://www.youtube.com/user/yukonjeffimagery/videos?disable_polymer=1
