  1. Composition - Churning (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    stranger comes in he will help. It is said if this is not done he will steal the butter. It generally takes an hour and a half to do the churning. We know the churning is finished when we see that there is no butter left on the churn-dash and sometimes there is water poured on the churn while it is being made.
    When the butter is made it is taken on to a wooden dish and washed so as to take all the buttermilk out of it. Then some salt is applied. When this is done it is made into rolls.
