Serve with fresh churned butter.

Pour 1/3 cup heavy cream and a pinch of salt (optional) into each butter churn (see activity from FHE Lesson "Teach Your Children About the Prophet Joseph Smith." Put on lid (with plunger handle and plunger attached). Have the children churn the cream into butter by moving plunger up and down for 10-15 min. (To churn faster remove plunger and shake.) When cream has solidified pour off excess liquid.
