Yes you can, you make butter from milk. You start by extracting the cream component of the milk. The milk is the starting ingredient, you extract what you need. Cream is part of milk.

Why are there so many dumb people around! This is the age of the internet. I have no idea how you can get to adulthood and not know simple things like butter comes from cream anyway, but everyone has a computer these days and can GOOGLE.

Sadly.it's called EGO. You will always get those that just cant help themselves. Some just dont get the old saying of putting ones brain in gear before opening ones mouth and the last post above this is case in point. The Mad Milly kits are usually available at Binn Inn stores for those of you who are keen. Hope that you can wade through all the negativity #1 and get all the answers you were after!

Cream comes from milk therefor so does butter. You have no idea what other people's circumstances are, how can you be so judgmental!

If Id known the bad responses i was goin to get i wouldnt have asked! but thankyou so much to the helpful people, im well aware i could have googled it but thought maybe would be better to get ideas from people that had tried and tested methods and maybe a few different tips. talked to the farmer he gave me 3L of milk from a jersey cow that he milked straight into a bucket for me (this man is a legend!) fat content must have been pretty high as it didnt take long before i had butter! Thankyou again to everyone for your help :)

Why! Just read it all and discard what doesn't work or is unhelpful and take the helpful hints on board. Why would you get intimidated by people you do not even know! Or do not even know you. I read that so often on these boards - why would you worry what people write! Switch off the computer and they are all gone LOL :)
How does the butter taste! Are you happy with it!

Except for the possibility of listeriosis. best not to consume unpasteurised milk until after you deliver. Why risk your baby's health!

When you switch off your computer,the nasty people might be gone but their nastiness lingers on.It's a human response to feel upset by rude and thoughtless people when you ask a perfectly legitimate question.
It's much less 'what' the rude replies said, more 'how' they were said.Everyone can accept another opinion.Who appreciates an arrogant put-down!

On what planet is general knowledge a measure of intelligence! And everyone does not have a computer. I bet around 80% of the worlds population does not own a computer.

Good on you charliesangel at least you tried and there is no better feeling than achieving things especially when you have made them from scratch and know what is in it
OK. OP has 1 bucket of milk a dairy farmer has given her. This is whole milk. Are you seriously saying that she cannot make butter from this! Of course, you have to extract the cream as one of the first steps of the process. Butter is still made from milk! Milk is the original, raw product that is processed (ie, left to stand, thick layer removed and beaten etc etc).
OP wanted to know how to make butter from a raw product. Milk. Which you do make butter from, you just have to remove the components you want to work with.

I'm glad you recognise this fact elli because often after my computer is switched off I think about all the nastiness you have delivered in my direction and wonder what is wrong with you and how I could help you to get help. However, uli is correct. Why worry about what total strangers are posting!

Your new baby is very lucky to have a mum prepared to give something new a go - and a dad who appreciates her efforts ;)

charliesangel04's 'husband' - the father of her baby-on-the-way, who appreciates his wife's home-made butter.
uli, why oh why do you have to turn this into an inquisition!
