  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    The most common churn to be found in my town-land is the tumbling churn. The(y) people churn about twice a week.
    Before churning a pint of boiling water is put in so as the butter would be soon on the milk. After churning the butter is made and the buttermilk is used for making cakes.
