creaming
Whipping butter soft
Creaming is the process of beating butter and sugar together until light and fluffy—a foundational technique in baking that incorporates air into batters.
More generally, creaming means adding cream or a cream-based sauce: creaming the coffee, creaming the spinach.
In slang, creaming someone means defeating them decisively: We creamed them 42 to nothing.
