Creaming Butter

Creaming butter... What in the world is that? No, it does not mean making your own butter out of milk and working out those arms. It is aerating butter and making it into a cream-like texture by whipping the butter with full force.

Butter is one of the most important ingredients in baking, and most of the time, people do not handle the ingredient well. Properly creamed butter can hold together all the ingredients, while giving it an airy texture.
