Step by Step Directions
- Add the sugar to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 sec/speed 9. Let the sugar settle for a few seconds before lifting the lid. Scrape down the sides of the Thermomix bowl with a spatula.
- Add the chilled butter. Note: If the butter is already at room temperature, skip to step 4.
- Mix for 15 sec/speed 8 until soft.
- Insert the butterfly whisk and beat the butter and sugar for 2 mins/speed 3. Scrape down the sides of the Thermomix bowl and mix again for 1 min/speed 3.
Tip
If you have time to soften the butter at room temperature, remove it from the fridge and let it sit on the bench top for approximately 30 to 60 minutes. To check it's softened, poke it with your finger or a knife. If it leaves a little indent, your butter is ready.

Brilliant way to cream butter! Thought you couldn't really do it 'properly' in the Thermomix and I'm always too lazy to get the butterfly out and have to clean it up, but once the 3 minutes were up, there's really not a whole lot of mixture stuck to the butterfly after all! And the end result is beautiful!
