• Next cut in 4 Tablespoons butter into flour mixture ( i use a food processor with 1 cup of flour mixture, pulse it until incorporated then return to mixing bowl).

Batter should be super lumpy and the consistency mashed potatoes. add more buttermilk to get the ingredients to be like a thick batter.
