EMMA'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Picture
I just love making butter in a jar. It really conjures up so many fond childhood memories of my two older sisters and me all frantically shaking the jar to make butter. Mum used to milk the jersey cow every morning and we were treated to fresh milk and fresh cream. I think it is a fabulous skill for children to learn and beginning a curiosity about where our food comes from.
