The creaming method is used for most cakes, but it’s also used for a lot of biscuits and chocolate chip cookies.
One method is creamingThe method requires thorough creaming, or blending together, of butter and sugar before any other ingredient is added.During the creaming, it is important to keep going until the butter and sugar mix is pale, light and creamy.
The rubbing-in method is used for crumble toppings, some pastries and of course, scones.
Another method is the rubbing method. The process works by the fat, usually butter, being worked into the flour by a method of rubbing the pieces through the fingers. This will create a bread crumbs or sand - like texture.
