lavorare... impasto

English translation: cream together (the butter and sugar)

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:lavorare (il burro e lo zucchero)
English translation:cream together (the butter and sugar)

Italian term or phrase: lavorare... impasto
Lavorare il burro con lo zucchero fino ad ottenere un impasto spumoso.

La mia proposta:
Mix butter and sugar so as to obtain a spongy mixture.

Come evitare "mix" e "mixture" così ravvicinati? Al posto di "mixture" per impasto può andare anche "compound"?
O c'è un sinomino migliore per "mix"?

Grazie fin da ora per la consulenza.

cream together
Explanation:
Leafing through the cookie section of Joy of Cooking,

over and over all I see are
"cream together..(the butter and sugar)

or

"blend (the butter and sugar) until creamy"

Otherwise for 'spumoso' I'd say "until light and creamy"

Another synonym for mix is 'combine'.

Buon appetito.
