Cream Butter for Pumpkin Bread
Hi! I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I am going to show you how to make this delicious spicy pumpkin bread. Our next step is going to be creaming the butter. Now if you thought ahead, you will have the butter already sitting out in about room temperature which makes things much easier. We are going to use about half a stick of butter which is a quarter of a cup and you want to make sure you get all of the paper off. Then we are going to cream it with our wooden spoon. If you really want to, you can use a stand mixer for this but it is such a small amount and if you have properly softened it better than I have, then it really doesn't take that much time. Because you are doing a bread, once you start adding the dry ingredients, the batter is going to get very thick and which is something you don't want to be mixing with an electric mixer. So you are going to have to do the final mixing by hand anyway. So if you start out by hand, then it just saves you one less thing to wash. You can see the butter is getting softer and spreading out better as I am mixing it and it looks like it is about time to start adding the rest of our wet ingredients.
