We use our fingertips to mix fat and flour together because this method allows for better control and minimizes the risk of overheating the fat. The gentle motion of rubbing the fat into the flour creates a fine, crumbly texture essential for baked goods like pastries. Using fingertips also helps incorporate air into the mixture, which contributes to a lighter final product. This technique, known as "cutting in," ensures even distribution without overworking the dough.
