All that was left to do at this point was cut in to my malthouse loaf from our local bakers and spread that beautiful homemade butter on it.

The original Kilner® Jar, invented by John Kilner and Co. in England is as much loved and successful now as it was over 180 years ago. The glass jar is dishwasher safe. The churning / paddle mechanism should be hand washed only and dried immediately For salted butter, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over your butter and use Kilner® Butter Paddles to mix. Taste your butter to make sure you are happy with the flavouring and then continue to use your butter paddles to mould into a square shape. Butter paddles are excellent for moulding butter and ensuring all of the last drops of buttermilk and squeezed from your homemade butter.

Premium 18/10 Cutlery

Set includes:1 x Kilner 1Ltr glass jar, 1 x Kilner butter churner with paddle, 1 x recipe and instruction booklet Remove your cream from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours. This is important as cream at room temperature churns easier and faster.

Once you’re done, simply tip out the buttermilk, press the butter into a ball to squeeze out any remaining whey and add salt or flavouring if you wish – you’ll be amazed how easy it is. Create individual flavours by seasoning and adding herbs and spices. A recipe and instruction booklet is included to guide you through the process. Remove the lid from the churner and carefully pour the buttermilk into a drinking glass. The buttermilk is similar to skimmed milk; do not throw it away as you can use it for lots of things including homemade scones. Now that I have made butter from scratch, I can tell you that the difference between cheap, spreadable yellow stuff and real, home made butter is huge. It might take 15 minutes to get from cream to bar but things like this are about little joys I think. That moment when you finally see it come together is pretty exciting. I imagine kids would love to have a go at this – a summer holiday activity? Let’s take a look… I formed mine without paddles, hence the rustic look, but if you get the full butter churning kit, it comes with ridged paddles and a glass butter dish.
