Vabreeze, it sounds like that was the beginning of a beautiful dairy creation. When you are making butter, it does go through a phase where it is whipped cream. You keep on agitating/mixing/churning and then it will "break", and then the solids come together. The site that Zhills posted is excellent because it shows what it looks like through the various stages. I love Kerrygold and Plugra butter, but every now and then I make homemade, and it's just delightful. I don't know if I would use it in cooking (cookies etc) because I'm never sure that I got enough water out, but as a topping on toast or waffles, it's bliss. Poodlepet
