Unwrap however many sticks of butter your recipe requires and put them in the freezer for about an hour. Grating the butter is much easier if it's frozen because it makes the butter more solid and firm. Remove the butter sticks from the freezer and get out a box cheese grater. Hold the butter flat against the biggest holes in the grater and move it in a repeated downward motion over a sheet of wax paper. Unless the next step in your recipe is to bake the ingredients, carefully place the wax paper sheet of grated butter back in the freezer. Keep the grated butter in the freezer until just before it's time to bake. This will ensure that the ingredients are the correct consistency when mixed together. Take the butter out of the freezer again and combine it in a bowl with the other ingredients. Use an electric mixer or a pastry cutter to fully mix the butter in with the dry ingredients.
