A butter paddle is a simple wooden utensil used for working with butter, especially when making homemade butter. It consists of a long, flat handle with a wider, curved blade at one end. The curved blade is designed to efficiently press and knead butter, helping to remove excess buttermilk and incorporate air for a smooth, creamy texture. Butter paddles are also useful for shaping and molding butter into desired forms like balls or pats. Their wooden construction is gentle on the butter and won't impart any unwanted flavors or react with the dairy product. Butter paddles are an essential tool for those who make their own butter at home, allowing for proper working and finishing of the butter for optimal freshness and quality.Specially curved and extra wide for easier handling (just like the traditional paddle). Helps you remove buttermilk and clumps from your homemade butter. Made of beautiful American hard maple. 9"L x 4"W. USA made.
