Perfect Whipped Cream




Source of Recipe


From "The Little Red Barn Baking Book"






List of Ingredients



• 1 cup whipping cream, well chilled
  
• 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  






Instructions



1. If you have time, chill the mixing bowl and beaters or whisk in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
   
   Put the cream and sugar into the bowl. With an electric mixer, start whipping on a slow speed and gently increase to high. The cream is ready when it just starts to form very soft peaks and just about holds its shape. Any more than this, and you've overdone it. Because an electric mixer can be a bit ferocious, it's best to switch over to a hand whisk just before the cream is ready. If you feel vigorous and energetic, you can do it all by hand. Use a nice, big balloon whisk. It won't take long and you'll get the best results.
   
   Serves 4 to 6
