Glair made competition

I love to bake

Baking has always been part of my life. I was so young when I started baking that I don’t even remember it. I only remember that I could “always” bake.

When I was a child, we lived very close to one of our cousins. We were together all the time.

Since both of our families baked cakes every week, our game was often to have a glair whipping competition between us.

I should also add that we didn’t have a whisk back then, and we beat the egg whites with a fork.

The goal was to see who would whip up the cream first in such a way that the bowl could be turned upside down afterwards.

None of us ever spilled whipped cream from the bowl.

This is how I learned how hard a good whipped cream should be.
