*We've all read it a thousand times: "Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy." But most cooks don't take it far enough. As the two are combined, the sugar's sharp edges cut through the fat and create air pockets that will lighten the texture of baked goods. So watch the mixture go from grainy to creamy and then increase in volume and lighten in color. This will take at least four minutes with a hand mixer. Be patient: It's worth it!
