74. I think someone mentioned churning butter?

Tue Dec 9, 2025, 12:01 PM

Tuesday

I had no idea that whipped heavy cream could become butter!

So I looked it up. The churning motions break up the protein, and fats that are originally together. The fat cells clump together, and become butter, while the liquid, and most protein run off.
