What is the purpose of churning butter?
1 Answer
The term churning butter can be a little misleading—you’re actually churning cream to make it into butter. Butter churns were very adept at breaking down the membranes surrounding milk fat so that the fat could join together and create butter. On 1stDibs, find antique butter churns from top sellers around the world.
