Tips:
- Be sure to use softened butter. This will ensure that the dough mixes evenly and creates a smooth texture.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture.
- Don't overwork the dough. Once it starts to come together, stop mixing it.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Bake the squares until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will prevent them from crumbling.
