Thank you for this very informative post! Especially the setting on a Kitchenaid stand mixer (10) is way too much- overcreaming. I've been baking for over 40 years and no one has shown me this, been trying to figure it out on my own. Most recipes say lighter in color and fluffy- kept trying to go for palest butter color in creaming. Plus knowing the texture it's supposed to have when rubbing rubbing mix between you thumb & finger helps me so much! Might have saved me thousands in butter/baking costs :)
