I mixed the flour and sugar
and cut my butter into small pieces.
Add butter to mixture.
Work with pastry blender.
Or by hand.
Most recipes call for cutting in the butter
until it resembles coarse meal.
I like to have different sized pieces of butter,
from coarse meal to pea-size.
Makes for a more tender, flakier crust.
