Can I ask if anyone has a solution to my not being able to rub in fat to flour as my fingers are not much good at that now please? I there another way. I love baking and don't want to stop or buy highly processed foods. Thank you

Nowadays I usually use a basic food processor to do the rubbing-in.

Melt the fat and stir into the flour ?

You can buy a metal tool, called a pastry blender or pastry cutter. Various places sell them, one example

Use a cheese grater if you can.
It is like breadcrumbs without rubbing in.
The fat has to be very firm of course, half an hour in the freezer will do it.
