• Beat the butter until the sugar dissolves. IMPORTANT. The reason is that part of the fluffiness and the rise is from the creamed butter.

• Add the sugar and eggs to the mix little by little. Reason is that butter can only absorb a little bit of sugar and liquid (eggs) at a time. Adding everything all at once would split the butter and toughen the mix.

• Mix the milk in the end before the the flour is until 60% mixed, because the milk needs to absorb the flour to get the mixture combined. If you add the milk when the batter is completely mixed the milk would split the mixture.
