When a recipe calls for cream what do they mean?
In baking, creaming is the first step in baking a cake, and the most important. Butter should be at room temperature, not melted. Beat the butter first in a large bowl, preferably with a wooden spoon, until it is creamy. Add the sugar gradually, and continue beating until the butter and sugar are fully combined with no lumps of butter showing. If done correctly, the mixture will be almost white. Whole eggs are added next, one at a time with the mixture being beaten well after each addition. The hard part is done, and the rest of the batter should go together more quickly.
When baking how many pounds of sugar should you add to 2pounds of butter?
The proportion of sugar to butter in baking depends on what you are baking and on the individual recipe. There is no universal proportion guide you can follow to cover all types of baking and all recipes. As a general rule with baking, the first time you cook something follow the recipe precisely unless you are very sure of the outcome if you change it. When you find that recipe works successfully you can tweak it around to suit yourself, within the basic guidelines.
Who invented the first butter cow?
There are no butter cows, butter is made from cream, and the milk of all cows make cream. Butter was probably discovered when transporting cream to a market over a distance, maybe on donkey or camel back. The movement alone will turn cream into butter soon enough, as I discovered after buying cheese and cream from a dairy. After I arrived home, I had a pot of butter in the boot of my car, not cream. Some cows have been selected over the centuries for the creamiest milk, and today, the Jersey cows have the fattest content of all breeds. The locally made vanilla ice cream on Jersey Island beats any other.
What mixing method were demonstrated in baking products?
The mixing methods will vary, depending on what you are baking, with some common ones being to 'cut', 'cream' and 'blend'.For example, if baking a pie crust, the mixing method is to first 'cut' the fat (shortening, butter or lard) into the flour with a pastry blender, a fork or you can use your fingers. After the fat is cut into the flour, you will add just enough ice water to make it hold together when pressed.If baking a cake, the mixing method (for most cakes) is to 'cream' the sugar and fat (butter, margarine, shortening, etc.), then add the eggs, then alternate the dry and wet ingredients till blended.If baking cornbread, you simply mix all ingredients together and 'blend' well.
Does butter contain dairy?
Cream is part of the milk when it is first taken from the cow. If allowed to sit, cream will naturally float to the top of the milk and it can be skimmed off, so yes, I suppose cream has milk in it.

What is standardization of milk?
Standardisation is when cream is removed from the milk and then added back to a specific butterfat. For instance - cream is first removed, leaving skim milk and cream. The cream is then added back into the milk phase to 2.0% to give low fat milk. The rest of the cream is used for cream or butter.

When was butter invented?
Butter was discovered when goat skins of milk carried on the backs of camels across the desert turned into butter. From 1790 to 1893, patent records show 2,440 devices were invented to churn cream into butter, so making butter has always been important.AnswerSince even accidental agitation can turn cream into butter, it is likely that the invention of butter goes back to the earliest days of dairying, perhaps in the Mesopotamian area between 9000 and 8000 BCE. The Greeks used it to eat and used it to oil their skin instead of lotion.

Method 2- mix using a hand/ standing mixer on medium to medium high speed until everything is incorporated. Proceed with the recipie as directed.
