8. IMPORTANT FACTS
 Why do we allow the cream to sit out?
The fat globules form crystals, which
-
helps to break the fat globule membrane
when shaking the jar.
- It also allows lactic acid bacteria to
grow, making the cream more acidic
which prevents the growth of harmful
bacteria.

9. IMPORTANT FACTS
Heavy Whipping Cream - comes from

milk that has been allowed to sit out, the
cream eventually floats to the top.
 Why does the cream float to the top?
-The cream contains fat globules which
are lighter than milk, so they float to the
top.

10. IMPORTANT FACTS

- Buttermilk is the thin white liquid
surrounding the butter. This is what
buttermilk biscuits are made from.
