I'll answer. If you don't have a pastry blender, you can just arm yourself
with two plain old table-setting knives (that won't cut much of anything).
Hold one in each hand and do a criss-cross sort of cutting. The vital
detail in the recipe is the lack of saying what sort of flour. Obviously
(maybe) self-rising is not called for but there's a heap of difference in
the varieties and results. Polly
