Making Butter from Martha Lazar on Vimeo.
On one of Lindsay’s school field trips, they visited The Old Stone House, which was an old Dutch farmhouse here in Brooklyn. On that trip they made butter and Lindsay has mentioned from time to time that she’s wanted to make some at home. You probably know by now that this request warms my little pioneer heart.
She recently brought it up again, so while Neil was out shopping, he picked up some heavy cream for her. We placed it in a large mason jar and started shaking it. And shaking it. I think it’s funny how she can look so badass while churning butter.
Eventually (and not before she lost interest and hopped in the bath), the cream separated into butter and buttermilk. We washed the butter in cold water and Lindsay formed it into one of her bowls.
