I grew up in a very rural area in western Pennsylvania, USA. The ladies in our neighborhood would get together to make butter from our local dairy cows. My grandmother would make homemade bread, and we would slather butter and homemade strawberry jelly and/or warm cinnamon applesauce on top. I did not carry on that tradition except for making homemade bread occasionally. Your video brought back some very precious memories.
When I was growing up, my job every Saturday was to churn and make butter. We had a wooden paddle to shape the butter. I love doing that . I'm spoiled forever for butter that is as good as I was accustomed to. And the buttermilk was sooo good!
We had a crock churn that had been sitting in the kitchen till it was ready to make butter, to churn. I wish I had that crock! Growing up on a farm was the best! Georgia, USA
Butter should be cold as well as mold. Soak the mold in water before putting in fridge. Over time the mold will absorb some butter and like a cast iron pan, the mold “seasons”!
Well that was fun! Butter making from the cow to the table and I bet it is delicious. The soda bread was the perfect way to sample the fruits of your labour. Thanks Sam and Sean🙏🏻❤️
I worked with children for years and I must have made butter with my class every year. The kids thought it was magic LOL Fresh butter tastes awesome! I love that gadget you had, we just shook ours in the jar.
Farm girl here lol Great video and bravo on your first attempt at butter, well done! As for advice, welp, don't touch the butter with your hands unless you absolutely must and then as briefly as possible (My mother dipped her hands in ice water when butter making for just this reason). Ideally you use the butter pats for the whole process (which is their purpose) because, as you saw, if you handle the butter the warmth from your hands melts it and makes it far too soft to mold, it also changes the consistency and flavor of the end product since you're actually mixing and sealing some of that buttermilk and water into the butter with the melting from your hands. Letting the butter rest in a cool place also helps with the molding. Butter hates heat so, making sure your equipment is cool and never warm helps keep the butter solid and far less sticky. Big thing, NEVER use soap on anything wood that you use for butter making, hot water and a good salt scrub followed by a rinse is all you need and a nice dry in the bright sunshine to sterilize. Have fun! My family made butter the whole time I was growing up, my mother despised store bought foods way back before it was cool lol...PS Don't oil your mold, that just makes the butter more sticky, use water instead, if you must use anything. Butter and water repel each other unless forced.
😊 I love you two being together in the kitchen. So folksy genuine. That bread looks yummy and the butter making reminded me of my youth 😅. Hard work for happy days.
Excellent, fun video!!!! It was so nice to see Sam with you, My father and I watched it together and he remembered when his mother used to make butter from their two cows. We smiled so much through the whole vlog. What good humor about the butter press! My grandmother simply used the tip of a knife to make a "feather" or "wheat" design in the middle. Yum!!!!
I'm 66 yrs. old now I do remember making fresh butter ,& cottage cheese. I think we used a electric hand mixer. Added some salt. Washed. Used an antique hand paddles and pressed antique butter molds for fancy design on top of squares of butter Yum.
When I finished High School, I got a summer job in the huge dairy factory in my hometown. I got to work in the butter department. Mmmm, butter tastes so delicious right out of the big butter churn machine... So fresh.. I worked there for 3 summers during my College days. Fun to make your own butter. Hope it was delicious. My grandmother always made soda bread for us. It was so delicious. So was her Treacle bread.. My favourite of all. I tried to make Treacle bread once... Nope. Just not the same as grandma's.. hahahaha.. Loved this video Sam and Sean.
Jersey's and Brown Swiss dairy cattle have most butter fat. Most dairy cattle in US are Holsteins - twice the size and give gallons of milk, but not high percentage of fat. I have collected many wooden butter molds. We hand milk our Jersey cattle. Thanks for sharing🐄🐄🐄
My mom use to put a little flour or cornstarch on the mold to keep it from sticking. Don't remove the mold until you have refrigerator the butter again. Hope this helps. 🤩
Cut a slice for me please. We I worked in Nursery Schools ..a favourite project was to , grow some cress, when that was ready we d make some bread and the final part was to make the butter.. no kilner butter maker but a screw lid jar . Almost every child had a turn at shaking the jar and hey presto….it all worked beautifully. As for the butter mould..I suspect , put both the pats and butter in the fridge overnight and press when both are very cold. .maybe!
I love making my own butter and do so frequently. I use an antique churn. You might want to soak the mold in ice cold water before using it. Your bread looks fab!!
WOW...very impressed! That looks soooo delicious! My ex mother-in-law in France, always made her own butter and pressed it with the design stamp, like you have. She always made sure the butter was already very cold and hard and the press as well. It never stuck so I'm sure you'll get there! Well done :D
I loved getting to see you use the different dairy items you’ve collected and taught us about in earlier videos. I grew up in a dairy state, and made butter in school in the first grade. It was a trip down memory lane!
(Moira Ashton) That was so interesting! I thoroughly enjoyed it, - What a pretty smiley face Sam has, only seen her briefly before now, that butter was so quick to make--what a shame the cow impression didn't work - That was a beautiful copper churn.. 🥰😍🤩💗💗💗
Really interesting Sean and Sam the procedure of making butter , loved watching that. The cookbook is really good I have it and most of the breads have been a success . Loved watching xx
What a fun video! I had no idea that you would get that much butter from the amount of cream you poured into the jar church. The soda bread making was a total bonus of you two. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🥰
When I was a child in the 50’s, we would get pasteurized, but not homogenized milk from a farmer. Mom always loved the cream in her coffee unless the cows got into the wild onions, then not so much! Great video. Thanks, Sean and Sam! 👋🏼
That was fun to watch. Thank you for taking the time to do that. And yes I think going the extra mile to make the bread to accompany the bread was well worth the effort
My husband’s mother always had a Jersey cow when her babies were little, he told me that they gave the best butterfat. His mom was French her parents didn’t speak English when the moved to America and his mother started school and couldn’t speak English in first grade. That looks really rich I bet that will be delicious. That copper container is just beautiful. You might have to help churn. Don’t make her do it all herself. That cow does have a really sweet face. I had no idea how hard of work this was to do, many steps. How did you learn how to do all of this. That is so nice.
Very enjoyable! Your copper milk jug is perfect - for the size, portability and antibacterial properties. what a great thing for kids to see - where cream comes from and how it is made into butter. yum.
Bonjour Sean and Sam the butter looks fresh delish straight from the cow down the farm the soda bread perfecto nice crust Sean waiting patiently Sam you sure know how to bake😍👌I have made butter not farm fresh cream and used a beater a sure must to learn if ever there’s a shortage and can add herbs etc Thankyou my loves a lovely start to my weekend Have a pleasant weekend Abiento❤️❤️😘😘👌👌
I am from Nova Scotia Canada. My French grandmother lived in Cape Nova Scotia just a province away from where I lived.6 hours by car. She used to make fresh cream and butter, the best memories. Thank you for sharing your world. The world is small. I do make bread every 10 days 2 loaves at a time and my tea biscuits are fantastic if I do say so myself.
Geez! That brings back childhood memories of making butter with my grandmother, who would have us in the school holidays plus siblings and cousins. In New Zealand. The wooden paddles did it for me. I just recall how much work went into it. Everything we ate she grew or made we were spoilt.
Sean, it was great seeing you and Sam together on this. The milk tin is huge and beautiful. As was your soda bread. Bet it all tasted scrumptious. Cheers.
I would try covering the butter with plastic wrap and using the press on top of that. But you definitely need to have the butter very cold before pressing it.
Butter, how fun. I myself have made butter from heavy cream in a mason jar with lid, super lovely with Cinnnimon, but herbs are also good in homemade butter
What an all around delightful vlog Sean! I loved the trip to the farm in the peaceful morning and working on making the butter with Sam was interesting. You two make a good team! I think the butter might need to be more chilled before you try to impress it and then maybe chill the butter some more with the mold on top (these are just guesses.). The final result with the home baked soda bread looked absolutely scrumptious! As always, thanks to Jasmine for the editing. You all are a lovely family.
You two are fun to watch. I can tell how much you respect each other and like to spend time with each other. Thanks for sharing! Have you ever tried making homemade yogurt?
A wonderful video, really really enjoyed it. Seeing beautiful Sam in the kitchen was such a treat. I could nearly taste (in my imagination), the bread and butter, it looked delicious.
You must keep rubbing your butter press with soft butter until it won't absorb any more butter. Do not use oil! Keep the press and the butter cold. The press can be wrapped in cheese cloth and kept in a plastic bag in the fridge.
I had a jersey called Buttercup. I made sour cream butter which was very popular in the Mennonite community. Also called clabbered butter. I filled gallon jars and put them into refrigeration overnight, then scoop the cream into another gallon. Let it stand in the churn overnight and then churn. Fabulous!
That was really interesting! I love that we could see the process of the butter churning through the glass. I've always wondered what was going on inside the old wooden churns. The bread looked so delicious and being able to put the homemade butter on it was making drool a bit. Yummy!
I found this on web and this from person using a mould like yours better advice than mine for sure To use the molds I carefully cleaned them with a little warm water and mild soap. Then I soaked them in cold water for 30 minutes. I filled them with softened herb butter and put them in the freezer for another 30 minutes. The rectangular one was tough to remove but the plunger came out easily. Next time I'll try spraying the large mold with cooking spray which is one idea I found looking around the web.
Perfect video how to make butter. So jealous of your fresh jersey cream. All my childhood spent doing this and so hard to find the milk now especially Jersey here in USA. Next time butter and freeze the mold. Love all your vlogs and especially seeing your very pretty wife,

Loved this. You and Sam in the kitchen is wonderful. Lovely vlog Sean and Sam.💕💫💕
As I understand it, French cows have a higher fat content therefore the butter is richer than butter available in the US.
Enjoyed the show so much.
Hi its the Jersey cows that have the highest fat content in the milk that's why the french have them in there milking herd. 😊

That was SO much fun you two! Thank you for taking us along!!
Great!
Great video, your wife is beautiful, nice- looking couple you are, I bet the butter was amazing. Love love love soda bread.
Nothing like butter freshly made in spring! You are a great team!
Wonderful, nothing like fresh churned butter on freshly baked bread, a meal in itself..yum!
My mom use to put a little flour or cornstarch on the mold to keep it from sticking. Don't remove the mold until you have refrigerator the butter again.
Hope this helps. 🤩
Thanks for the tips Sally, we will try those next time 🥰

Sean, that butter would be delicious on a scone with a nice cup of tea sitting outside in the garden. Enjoy with you and your wife 💕
Love you two together.
The skin on top after heating is how traditional Devon clotted cream is made!

It's so nice to see you and Sam working togheter😘💟💟💟💖💖💖💖
That was great. Thank you
That was fun. Easier than expected. Butter and bread looks quite delicious. Nice to meet your wife and I think daughter. Thank you Sean .
Great seeing you both together making a vlog. Making homemade bread and butter. Take care.❤
Now that's farmhouse cooking ..Thankyou to you both ❤️ Great team 👏
(Moira Ashton) That was so interesting! I thoroughly enjoyed it, - What a pretty smiley face Sam has, only seen her briefly before now, that butter was so quick to make--what a shame the cow impression didn't work - That was a beautiful copper churn.. 🥰😍🤩💗💗💗
I like your vlogs so much. Your relaxed manner and detailed information makes most enjoyable viewing. Working with Sam makes for added interest.
So very interesting.
Really interesting Sean and Sam the procedure of making butter , loved watching that. The cookbook is really good I have it and most of the breads have been a success . Loved watching xx
place plastic wrap on top of the butter and then press the mold into the butter, let chill in the fridge until firm and remove the plastic wrap.
Cor! You twos made my mouth water, all that was missing was some home made strawberry jam. Wonderful place to live. Nice to watch take care, Sandy xx
Well thatckooked yummy yes the Jersey cows make the cream for butter well known for it
What a fun video! I had no idea that you would get that much butter from the amount of cream you poured into the jar church. The soda bread making was a total bonus of you two. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🥰
Wow! The butter and bread looks delicious! Sean, this was a fantastic video..... from the farm to the table delicious.
Nothing quite like home made salted butter and so easy to make if you can get fresh creamy milk. Love the new milk churn too. Xxx
When I was a child in the 50’s, we would get pasteurized, but not homogenized milk from a farmer. Mom always loved the cream in her coffee unless the cows got into the wild onions, then not so much! Great video. Thanks, Sean and Sam! 👋🏼
😆 thanks Ruth
We do this with whipping cream 45% butter fat with kids for fun !
I used to have to shake a quart jar like that to make butter. I think your churn would have made my job much easier.
Awesome! I very much enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing, Sean!
What a lovely video Sean and Sam. Truly farm to table!
That’s amazing thank you
when doing the last wash of the butter try to use salted water it also helps to salt it.
That was fun to watch. Thank you for taking the time to do that. And yes I think going the extra mile to make the bread to accompany the bread was well worth the effort
Your wife is darling. I love how you two bake bread and make bread together😊.
My husband’s mother always had a Jersey cow when her babies were little, he told me that they gave the best butterfat.

Very enjoyable! Your copper milk jug is perfect - for the size, portability and antibacterial properties. what a great thing for kids to see - where cream comes from and how it is made into butter. yum.
I used to ice my butter prior to applying a cooled press.
Brilliant video. Thank you both so much.
That was really fun, thanks for sharing. Putting all of those lovely antiques to use with organic ingredients: Fantastic!
Sean's~ good day, that's awesome upload. see ya!-📹

Beautiful 😁great video
That was great! So jealous of your fresh cream! Thank you Sean and Sam!
I use the whisk on my Kenwood mixer to make the butter, stops all the arm and hand from aching
Put plastic wrap over the butter before pressing it, then remove. Works for me.
I really enjoyed that vlog. That is definitively farm to table!
That was fantastic!!! Great job Sean and Sam!!❤ 😋
👍
Sean, it was great seeing you and Sam together on this. The milk tin is huge and beautiful. As was your soda bread. Bet it all tasted scrumptious.
Cheers.
OMG that made me go out and buy butter lolo but yours looks better
🤣🤣
💕Very interesting the butter & bread looked delicious made my mouth water💕
😋
Yum! Thanks for introducing me to Etsy.
Bravo video , We know how much time this took way back when .Very time consuming but looked delicious. Thanks Sam and Sean......
yumm, that looks good. so simple and so good for you being organic. I always wanted to see butter being made.
That was great, back to the old village life the cream looked good as did the butter.
Use the butter milk to marinate chicken overnight before frying.
I would try covering the butter with plastic wrap and using the press on top of that. But you definitely need to have the butter very cold before pressing it.

Very interesting, enjoyed watching x
Making my mouth water ... looks delicious 😋
Great vlog Sean and Sam, I’m hungry now 😄xxx💕
Me too 😋
Many thanks for sharing! Great to see the whole process from the cow to the butter dish. Looks delicious!
Lovely video Sean! And lovely to see more of Sam.
one forgets one can do this. I love self sufficiency. making cheese next?
Yes Jo, we would like to give that a try next 👍
You two are fun to watch. I can tell how much you respect each other and like to spend time with each other. Thanks for sharing! Have you ever tried making homemade yogurt?
Yes Sam has 😊
Le bon goût du beurre fermier et du pain maison. Quel délice! 👋🇨🇦
