We found the recipe in "Whole Grain Baking." We plan on trying a couple more out in the next couple weeks and see if we can give up all-purpose flour entirely.N. &amp; J.http://badhuman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-56230346579774588102008-02-12T19:50:00.000-08:002008-02-12T19:50:00.000-08:00We made butter but we cheated and used the kitchenaid (we are so ashamed). You can check out our butter on our blog and tomorrow we are going to use the resulting buttermilk to make whole wheat honey biscuits.N. &amp; J.http://badhuman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-31510413522058977022008-02-10T11:00:00.000-08:002008-02-10T11:00:00.000-08:00Now I have a solution for the amazing raw milk that has more fat than I care to drink! <BR/><BR/>I sucked off the cream, made butter, then put the buttermilk + a little of the plain milk on my breakfast! It took quite a while (45+ min), but I forgot to let it warm up first. <BR/><BR/>Now I have two things I LOVE (lower-fat milk and butter) made from one thing that was not exactly what I needed. Thanks for the suggestion!Abihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04493124232142776569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-14690248971824373782008-02-03T13:37:00.000-08:002008-02-03T13:37:00.000-08:00I Did It!! 25 minutes and it is done in the frig! Maybe since I expended a little energy to make it I can eat more than usual! I LOVE BUTTER! How come this stays fresh a week but organic store bought butter stays fresher longer? Or maybe it really doesn't?<BR/>It is delicious!

I like to use 50% honey to 50% butter.Crunchy Chickenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10612320939936593420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-60292252412349756562008-02-02T09:08:00.000-08:002008-02-02T09:08:00.000-08:00The kids and I made it Thursday night. Awesome! Totally fun and I agree with Jason. Out of nowhere, it's butter. Jason, yum, I'm going to try the honey butter. I'm never buying butter again - well almost never. :)Green Beanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-11155983170413119642008-02-02T08:24:00.001-08:002008-02-02T08:24:00.001-08:00Hey Cynthia,<BR/><BR/>I may have been more vigorously shaking the jar. As I said in my <A HREF="http://crunchychicken.blogspot.com/2008/01/holy-cow-i-made-my-own-butter.html" REL="nofollow">first post</A> about making butter, I shake it like crazy.<BR/><BR/>And I'm impatient.

A goat would be easier to disguise.
