Remember when butter lambs took pride of place on our Easter tables? Let us revive the tradition! We will show you in a few steps how to make Easter butter decorations. It is not difficult: join us!

Our shop offers several wooden butter moulds, handmade to a high standard in the Polish Tatra Mountains. There are lambs in five sizes, a cockerel, a hen and various other shapes, including flat stars and flowers. We will use the extra-large Lamb mould. Try the other moulds throughout the year, not only at Easter!

First, coat the mould thoroughly with hot cooking oil. Do not wash it in water beforehand, as the wood may warp. Apply the oil with a brush, for example, then leave it for several hours to soak into the wood.

Ready? The butter should be at room temperature. Briefly immerse the mould in cold water, fill it with butter and close it. Press more butter in from the underside with your fingers, and scrape off the excess.
Our three-year-old daughter helped shape the lamb: fun for the whole family!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put the filled mould in the refrigerator overnight or in cold water until the butter sets. Chilled butter should pull slightly away from the mould, making removal easier. The mould also has a special recess to help separate the halves. You can carefully use a knife to help release the shaped butter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our lamb is ready! Decorate it with a radish, boxwood or a ribbon, for example.
