What to do if you have too much heavy cream and you aren’t going to use it for anything? Whip it into whipped cream with a tiny bit of sugar or maple syrup to sweeten it, and a dash of vanilla if desired.
In this photo, we made the whipped cream right in the bottle and cut the top open to serve. Genius!
If you are in a rush, pour your ingredients of choice directly into the bottle and shake until it becomes whipped cream! Don’t shake too long or you’ll make butter (though there’s nothing wrong with that, either.
This was the result of a creative moment, but I have no regrets about the way it turned out! Potatoes and/or sweet potatoes provide the starchy middle that keeps things together, and the asparagus provides the springy gimmick. The rest of the ingredients are pretty flexible, so make it your own and have fun!
You can add some chicken to this dish as well if you are looking for a heartier meal.
This simple recipe is a wonderful use of the whole wheat pastry flour we see in our Winter share boxes from time to time. In lieu of buttermilk, I use 1 cup of cream/milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (after letting it sit for about 5 minutes, it’s ready). Great with stews, or topped with blueberry sauce and whipped cream for dessert!
