  1. Strain the milk as soon as it comes from the cow into wide pans, holding about six quarts each, so as to be about three inches deep, and let it remain for twenty-four hours.
  2. Gently place the pan upon a hot plate or slow charcoal fire, which must heat it very gently, for if it boils it is spoilt.
  3. As soon as the cream forms a ring in the middle, remove a little with the finger, and if there are a few bubbles rise in the place where you do so, it is done, which will be in half to three quarters of an hour.
  4. Remove it from the fire, and let it remain twenty-four hours.
  5. Skim it, and throw a little sugar on the top.
