Pastry FAQ

Q. Why do recipes call for cold butter when making pastries?

A. Cold butter helps ensure that the final product is both light and flaky. For example, the butter helps create the layers called laminating when making kneading dough for pie crust, croissants, and puff pastry. When baked, those pieces of butter melt, creating pockets of air and separate layers. There's nothing left to melt when the pastry goes into the oven, resulting in a denser product if warm butter is used.

Q. What is a shortcrust pastry?

A. Shortcrust recipes are made with a 3:2:1 flour, fat, and water ratio. This pastry is used to make crusts for pies, tarts, quiche, and hand pies as the name implies.

Q. Is pastries savory or sweet?

A. Pastries are both savory and sweet. Pot pies, hand pies, pizza crust, biscuits, and tarts are among the savory pastry recipes on display. The same pastries we use for savory dishes can also be used to make fruit, chocolate, and cream desserts.
