Making Bread and Butter

There is nothing like a fresh slice of bread with lashings of butter melting into it!!  Well, that's exactly what we enjoyed on Friday.  Mrs Shewring used her bread making machine to bake a crusty loaf of bread.  It smelled really delicious when we got in from our time in the ICT suite.  That was at lunchtime so the bread had a chance to cool down a little.

When we got back to class, Mrs S showed us how to make butter by beating cream until it was very thick.  The cream started turning yellow and making blobs of butter.  There was a lot of buttermilk which we poured away and soon the butter was all ready for us to spread on our fresh slices of bread.  We all agreed that it tasted as good as it smelled!
