Small amount of double cream in large bowl, whisk with willow whisks, beat with wooden spoons to separate curds and whey and pat with butter pats. Takes about 15 minutes. We’ve no done similar with “Saxon” butter churns but it doesn’t work quite so well. David From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.

Then they can hear the sound changes that you get with a real churn. You do see small glass hand chuns in charity shops from time to time though - those are good because you can see the mechanism, and they're easy to sterilise. ...........................................................

I thought I had carefully filed it for future reference but cannot now find it. Can anybody who does butter churning activities in their sessions or has a copy of this conversations, get in touch with me.
