To emulsify is to put to liquids together that generally separate from each other(water and oil for example). In recipes many times butter is emulsified into other ingredients(wing sauce for example). Usually the emulsifying agent in cooking is a protein(commonly egg yolk).

What does creaming mean?

To cream butter means to beat it (with an electric mixer or by hand) to form a smooth creamy texture. This process adds air to the butter and often includes the adding of sugars (brown and/or white) when making cookies and cakes. Please note: I have a recipe that requires you to cream the butter for two minutes before the adding of the sugar and failing to do this step changes the result of the recipe appreciably. If your recipe calls for this process, you will get better results if you do as instructed.

What does the recipe terminology cut in mean?

Sometimes a recipe will instruct you to "cut in" the butter. The goal is to end up with pea sized lumps of butter in the dough or batter. This technique is often called for in making pastry dough, pie crust dough or biscuits. The reason for this is that the small pieces of butter melt during baking, creating small air pockets. The best pie crusts are achieved this way. Do not use your hands to mix in the butter because it will warm it, and you want the butter to stay cool. You can use a food processor and pulse until you get the right consistency. Or you can use the back of a fork to press the butter into the other ingredients. Or two butter knives.
