All you need is:
a jar
some heavy cream
a little salt (if you like salted butter)
and a strong arm
Put all the ingredients in the jar, make sure the top is on tightly, and start shaking. In 15-20 minutes you'll have butter! (and buttermilk)
Our shaking eventually turned into a roll-the-jar-across-the-table game. It took a little longer, but definitely was more fun. Whatever works, right?
We enjoyed it on our favorite bran muffins (my grandma's recipe), homemade bread, and corn on the cob, all to test our pioneer butter on. It was scrumptous!
And we (I) can't wait for pancakes with buttermilk syrup in the morning. Mmmm....
Even though we made our butter the old-fashioned way, I still relied on my KitchenAid to do all the muscle work in the bread-making department.
I'm sure even a pioneer woman wouldn't object to some help :)
