Making Butter

As you know November's theme is Food this month and we have been doing all things food related! Today we were talking about where our food comes from and we learnt that cows not only give us milk but that we get cream, butter and even ice cream from a cow! We also had a go at making our own butter which was a roaring success. 6th class even came in to help us. We learnt all about the science of introducing air to the cream making it thicken and then separate into the curd- the fatty part which we eat and the whey protein which is drained away. The best part by far was of course getting to taste the butter we made. We enjoyed crackers with our very own home made butter!
