BUTTER-MOULDS, for Moulding Fresh Butter
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Instructions
- Butter-moulds, or wooden stamps for moulding fresh butter, are much used, and are made in a variety of forms and shapes.
- In using them, let them be kept scrupulously clean, and before the butter is pressed in, the interior should be well wetted with cold water; the butter must then be pressed in, the mould opened, and the perfect shape taken out.
- The butter may be then dished, and garnished with a wreath of parsley, if for a cheese course;
- if for breakfast, put it into an ornamental butter-dish, with a little water at the bottom, should the weather be very warm.
