BUTTERRRRR!!

Just made my second batch!! Came out a lot better this time. It was
pretty good the first time, in fact, but now I know what I did
wrong. I used a blender instead of a mixer. The mixer has it all
over that blender. (Sorry, blender.) Dump the cream in a mixing
bowl, set mixer to high, beat the pixels out of it, then when it
turns yellowish and clumpy add a bit of salt, blend at medium for a
while until you see the milk, and then dump off the buttermilk and
set to low and beat until it all clumps together, dumping off the
milk as you go.

The clumping together part is what I missed last time - I had many
clumps and simply pushed them together. It's better if you let the
mixer do it for you, it seems to get more of the milky stuff out.

Then I took the clump and pressed it into a container to extract as
much milk as I could. W00t!! BUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Dale - it's in the fridge in the red-topped container if you want
some. All others will either need to visit or make their own.)
