Mom always warns us that if we over whip cream, it will turn into butter…and we never believed her.

So for an experiment, I (Max) tried to whip butter into cream. I poured about a cup of heavy cream in a bowl and started whipping. After about a minute it started getting chunky; at about two minutes a new thin white liquid (buttermilk) appeared along with chunks of yellow solids and by three minutes there was a soft but solid lump of butter in a pool of buttermilk. I rinsed the butter with cold water a couple of times and then did the taste test.

Yep it was butter…but VERY unsalted!  Mom was right…I guess moms do know best! (Mom made me write that:)
