Today we learnt how to make butter.  Just like they did in the olden days.

First we had to measure 300ml of liquid cream into an air tight jar.  Rahil made sure not to spill any. Sophie dropped the marble into the jar.  We tighten the lid tight.


Next we took turns shaking the jar of cream. 
We shook…

..And shook…
     








Finally we had a big solid lump of butter called curd and a water liquid called buttermilk.  

Can you see the butter forming?

We shook again..                     and shook more...     
           
Finally we had a hard lump of butter.

We are going to leave this in the fridge over night and have this with crackers the next day.  Keep checking back to this post for more update.
