butter churner
Dairy fat maker
A butter churner is a device for making butter by agitating cream until the fat separates into solid butter and liquid buttermilk.
Traditional churners were wooden barrels or ceramic crocks with a paddle or dasher operated by hand.
The term evokes rustic, pre-industrial life: My grandmother still has her grandmother's butter churner.
