Home Made Whipping Cream



 Whipped cream, often sweetened and  different  flavored with rosewater and sugar , vanilla , chocolate etc. Generally we used White egg but today i am making egg-less Home made whipping Cream with Heavy cream milk. I am using higher-fat milk ,because Lower-fat cream (or milk) does not whip well .Whipped cream may also be made in a whipping siphon, typically using nitrous oxide.








Ingredients :-

1 Cup  Heavy Cream (Milk)
1 Tsp   Vanilla  essence
1/2 Cup Icing sugar or Sugar Powder ( Adjust the sweetness to your own taste)
Ice cube or Ice Water


NOTE :-  One cup of whipping cream makes about two cups of whipped cream.


 Method :- Today I  am Using Icing sugar and Amul Heavy Cream . Just keep  Amul Cream for cooling in  fridge . we will  start with cream straight from the fridge, because  it will be the easier and faster .



  So Now take  a Big bowl , add some ice water or ice cube,               from this process temperature  will be constant  Now Keep an other bowl into it , and pure  the cream into small bowl.
Use a whisk to begin whipping the cream



Using a whisk, begin whipping with wide strokes, which will get more air into the cream and help fluff it up it faster. Add sugar and Vanilla essence now and mix it  again .When the cream starts to thicken, just before soft peaks form, add sugar and continue to whip. A good rule of thumb is 2 tablespoons of sugar for every cup of cream





You can whip until the cream makes stiffer peaks ,Now Watch for  soft peaks if it appears that means it is ready ! keep in fridge for cooling .  Before you start whipping, you can add orange or almond,chocolate powder  and add some color etc as per your requirement !

Cake Flour



Usually, the word "flour" used alone refers to wheat flour, which is one of the most important food in all over world Specially in India . Wheat flour is the main ingredient in most types of breads (Roti or chapati ) and pastries .

     Today I am going to talk about "Cake Flour ". Cake flour is also known as soft-wheat flour which is a very fine-textured bleached flour used for making cakes and other baked goods. It is lower in protein than all-purpose flour and thus normal flour is not an acceptable substitute for Bakery Products .





Ingredients :-
 1 Cup All Purpose Flour  (Mainda)
 2 Tbsp  Corn Starch
          Or
   Corn Flour (Makke ka aata)













 Method :-
 Take a big bowl , just add 1 cup of all purpose flour , and replace  with  2 Tbsp corn Starch 


 Now mix it very well . 
 Cake flour is ready !!







Note :-
Most of the time peoples confuse about these question 
1. Can i use All purpose flour only in cake 
Yes 
2.Can you use cornflour instead of cornstarch?
Yes , we can ,Cornstarch and cornflour are the same thing, But  Cornflour corn starch is different from corn meal or polenta and these cannot be substituted.
