What is Creaming?

According to LandoLakes.com, “creaming means mixing butter and sugar together on a moderately high speed until well blended, fluffy and pale yellow.”

I did this using a food processor, but you could also use a mixer, automated whisk, or if you are feeling crazy… a handheld whisk!
