To use a pastry cutter effectively for baking, start by cutting cold butter or shortening into dry ingredients like flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a gentle rocking motion and avoid pressing too hard to prevent overworking the dough. This helps create a flaky texture in pastries like pie crusts or biscuits.
