Tips on creaming:
Make sure the mixer bowl clearance is correct
Start with the butter at 60-64F (15-18C)
Use medium speed on a stand mixer with a paddle attachment
Beat the butter for 30-60 sec to break it up. Add the sugar and beat until incorporated, scape. Beat for 2 min, and scrape. Beat for another 2 min, and scrape. Beat for another 1-2 minutes until the color lightens and the volume increases slightly. It’s not like whipped cream -- it won’t increase dramatically. The final temperature should be around 68F (20C).
