What's the go-to pastry dough for pasties?

[Kitty]

Hey there! I've been dreaming of making homemade pasties, but I'm unsure about the best pastry dough to use. Do you have any recommendations for the ultimate go-to dough that makes those perfect, flaky pasties? I'm eager to get baking!

For flaky and delicious pasties, many people swear by using a basic shortcrust pastry dough. It’s buttery, crisp, and holds up beautifully when baked. If you want something a bit more indulgent, you can also try a puff pastry dough for an extra-light and airy texture. Both options are great, but shortcrust is especially reliable for its sturdiness and rich flavor. Happy baking!

For pasties, shortcrust pastry is your BFF! It's buttery, flaky, and holds all the delicious filling in like a pro. Just don't overwork the dough, or it'll get tough instead of tender. Happy baking!
