Here we just 'rub in the flour and butter' with our hands. I remember having to scoop it up and rub from my pinkie fingers to my index fingers when we learned as children and it seemed like a lot of work. Now it doesn't take long as an adult - maybe I'm more skilled or my hands are just bigger! When you mentioned your pastry blender I thought it was electric, I've never seen one of these - does it really make it easier or quicker?

When you mentioned your pastry blender I thought it was electric, I’ve never seen one of these – does it really make it easier or quicker?
