Do not worry so much about evenly distributing the ingredients, they will mix better later on. Now “cut” the butter into the bowl with fingers. This will be difficult if the butter is not softened completely. Putting in the microwave until it is just soft is much easier than letting it sit out. Use an entire stick of butter, breaking it into smaller chunks will make it easier to mix in. Combine all ingredients in bowl until they take on a crumbly texture. Make sure any clumps of butter are broken up, and all flour is coated. This next part takes some judgment. Add just enough milk to the bowl to form a ball of dough. Just under a cup is usually all it takes to get it right. Use flour coated hands to mix it all up and knead it into a ball. The flour will help keep the dough from sticking to an extent. Some may still stick and needs to be scraped off and combined with the rest of the
