reviews & comments
What does cut in mean?
It means you don't want to make a paste out of the dough but rather "cut" the butter into pieces while blending it. You should use a pastry cutter or two knives or a fork to mix it to achieve this (as opposed to using a mixer or something that would make it too smooth). This technique keeps the crust more flaky.
