Origin: London, England

Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861

Instructions

  1. Butter-moulds, or wooden stamps for moulding fresh butter, are much used, and are made in a variety of forms and shapes.
  2. 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.
  3. The butter may be then dished, and garnished with a wreath of parsley, if for a cheese course;
  4. if for breakfast, put it into an ornamental butter-dish, with a little water at the bottom, should the weather be very warm.
