Flaky Dough for Savory Pastries

Use this dough for any small empty baked shells, whether they are to be filled with sweet or savory mixtures. It is my favorite to use for small hors d’oeuvre pastries, because it has a delicate texture and a flavor that does not interfere with the flavor of the filling.

Because this dough has a little less butter in it than a standard flaky dough, it may be rolled thinner without worrying about its melting or disintegrating.
