The idea is to sliver the butter very thinly and add it to the flour
mixture and stir to coat the butter, then add more butter and stir,
and repeat until all the butter is added. Then as you stir and nuke
over and over, on the last stirring before adding the milk, use the
spoon to smash and break up any buttery clumps. You could just wait
for time to warm the butter, but doing it this way I ended up with
biscuits in less than a half hour.
