Got up early this morning and made more homemade bread and butter. House smells good!

Butter:

Put cream in glass jar and shake, shake, shake, until you get your own homemade butter!

Bread:

Mix a cup of flour with a cup of water. Add 1 teaspoon sugar. Leave it covered with a light cloth in a warm place. As soon as it starts to "boil" that is, ferment, it is ready to use in bread. The more you use the better your bread will turn out. Use flour and water to refill your starter jar.
