Notes
To ensure the perfect results from beating, timing is key.
Depending on the type of ingredients and the texture desired, you should mix for no more than five minutes. Don't forget to scrape down the sides of your mixing bowl every once in a while to ensure everything is evenly mixed and nothing is stuck to the sides of the bowl. Additionally, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before beating for best results.
