During creaming, small air cells are formed and then incorporated into the mix. This mix becomes larger in volume and softer in consistency.

In the muffin method, we mix the liquids and the dry ingredients separately and then stir them together until just combined.
The creaming method has two advantages: The sugar and fat are well-dispersed in the batter and the entrained air tends to make for a light, fine crumb in the muffins.

 Your fats and liquids should be cold for the biscuit method.  Well, the whole point of the biscuit method is to keep discrete little pieces of fat dispersed throughout your dough.  That way, when they melt in the oven, the steam the little pieces creates assists in with the rise.  Also, you get all of these wee little buttery pockets.
