Practiced on ‘Heart of My Heart” about 10 minutes after school. I fixed muffins with whip cream for desert tonite. Ma, Pa & Buck went to Grandma’s tonite, me & Puz stayed home.

Ten minutes isn’t very long! I daresay they’re gonna need to spend a little more time on it than that before their formal TV appearance.

Muffins with whipped cream. Simple. Plain. And probably very delicious.

I love homemade whipped cream, and it’s a lot easier than you’d think.

Here’s the recipe I use . . .

Whipped Cream

1 pint whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar

Pour the cold cream into a chilled mixing bowl, and add the sugar.

Whip at high speed until it’s stiff and forms peaks.

It’s that easy! And I love it so much more than the pre-fab stuff in the carton.
