Question

How do I make butter from milk powder?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, you can't use milk powder to make butter using this technique, because this recipe requires the cream floating on the top of raw milk.

Can I do this in a canteen with milk?

Yes, but getting the clumps of butter out of the canteen may be difficult. I use a wide-mouth jar.

Question

Can I make butter with milk that has been in the refrigerator for a few weeks?

Community Answer

If it is raw milk (not pasteurized) and the cream hasn't been removed yet, then yes. It takes about 24 hours for the cream to settle at the surface. The butter is made with the cream.

Where can I find a wide-mouthed jar with a lid?

Community Answer

I reuse those big pickle jars that you can buy at any decent grocery store. Maybe those would work for you too?

Question

How did people make butter in the old days?

Community Answer

Butter was first made by placing the cream in a container made from animal material and shaking until the milk has broken down into butter. Later wood, glass, ceramic or metal containers were used.
