Notes
A tip for cutting in butter: place butter in freezer for approx. 15-20 minutes. Grate directly into bowl in batches, stirring between batches. For this recipe, I marked the 1/4 cup line (or half way mark on the stick of butter) and grated until half was in the bowl. I did this so I had something to hold onto as I was grating, thereby keeping my fingers safe. I put the rest back in the refrigerator.
