Years ago I gave away my pastry blender. Now I want another for making biscuits. There are none to be found in the thrift stores or even big box stores. You’d think some homemaker just like me would get tired of hers just sitting in the cupboard. I refuse to spend $15 for a new one online, so I‘ll keep on using the two knifes method.

This may be very bad advice but could you improvise some sort of cover for the bowl that would allow you to use your immersion blender.
Maybe a plastic bag with a hole for the blender and a rubber band.
It might work or it might turn into an I Love Lucy moment.

It thought of that too and then realized it would pulverize the butter rather than leave it lumpy.This may be very bad advice but could you improvise some sort of cover for the bowl that would allow you to use your immersion blender.

Maybe I’m better off not being able to whip up a batch of Red Lobster biscuits. Darn, I sure do love those things.

That’s where I’ve been looking. No luck so far. Perhaps everyone gave up making pastry years ago and donated them back then. I’ll keep searching.
I wonder how many still make pastry from scratch. It’s so easy to buy the frozen. Even the recipes just call for frozen.
