Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why does my butter need to be room temperature?

Soft, room temp butter mixes way better with the other stuff. Cold butter won't fluff up right or blend smoothly with everything else.

→ Can I use a stand mixer instead of hand mixer?

For sure you can. Just pop on the paddle attachment and remember to scrape the bowl sides now and then while you're mixing.

→ Why whip for 10 minutes?

The long whipping time makes it super light and airy like what you get at the restaurant. It also makes sure everything gets totally mixed together.

→ Can I use unsalted butter?

Sure thing but toss in a tiny bit of salt to get that authentic taste. The salt really balances out the sweetness.

→ How do I soften butter quickly?

Chop the butter into small chunks and leave them out for about 30 minutes. Don't try the microwave though it'll melt parts while others stay hard.
