There are two ways of mixing the dough ingredients
One-stage method:It is a simple method of sifting the dry ingredients and mixing both dry and wet ingredients together in a mixer on slow speed to form a smooth dough or batter.
Creaming method: In this method, two thirds quantity of sugar, shortening, salt and vanilla are creamed together. If eggs used, are added in three parts and mixed until smooth after each addition. The liquids are added and stirred. The flour, baking powder, and remaining sugar (about 25 percent) are sifted together and added. Too excessive creaming and mixing after flour addition affect the spread adversely. Better spread is obtained when a portion of the sugar is added in the final step. Condiments are added at the end of the mixing and mixed just to incorporate them.
