I use my food processor which has always worked well, but I find this method worthy of a try. However, I hate using my stand mixer for almost everything because it spits flour and liquids all over the place. I used to have a "shield" thing for it, but found that more work than it is worth. Does this problem happen with that initial butter and flour mixing? It seems like it would since that cold butter is going to take a while to mix in.
