4Pull the butter out of the freezer and grate it using a grater, one stick at a time.
5After grating the first stick of butter, mix it well with the flour until coated, then add the second stick and repeat.

7Mix the dough with a spoon until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
8Cover your counter and hands with flour as the mixture is sticky.

Tips

Freeze butter overnight or for a few hours.
Grate butter one stick at a time and mix with flour to prevent stickiness.
Do not overmix the dough.
Flour your counter and hands when handling the sticky dough.
Fold the dough about 5 or 6 times to create layers.
Bake biscuits close together so they 'hug' each other.
