    ["Make the butter roll-in first.", "With a pastry blender or two knives (using two knives is actually easier) cut the flour and the 3 sticks of butter together until combined but do not let the butter become warm. The butter should never be allowed to become warm the entire to time you are working with this dough.", "Tear off a sheet of waxed paper and dump the butter on to it. Place another sheet of waxed paper on top.", "Beat the the butter between the two sheets of waxed paper with a rolling pin until it becomes malleable. Make sure it stays cold though.", "With a spatula, a knife or whatever, shape the mound of butter into an 7\"x9\"" rectangle. It doesn't have to be perfect but try to get it into a rectangular shape as best you can.""
