WHIPPING CREAM

Whipped cream.
Cream will whip better better if you add a pinch of salt.

When whipping cream, add the sugar when the cream is mostly whipped, and the cream will whip to a higher volume. Adding the sugar at the beginning results in lower volume.

When whipping cream the cream should be as cold as possible, and the bowl should also be very cold. The cream will whip easier and to a higher volume when very cold. (a very slight pinch of salt added at the beginning also helps the cream to whip). When the cream is about 1/2 whipped, add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whip. If you add the sugar and vanilla at the beginning, the cream will not whip to high volume.
1 cup heavy cream
small pinch of salt
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
