Sweet Shortcrust Pastry (Pâte Sucrée)
Sweet shortcrust pastry, also known as pâte sucrée, is a rich, buttery pastry used for desserts like fruit tarts, custard pies, and sweet quiches. It’s made with flour, sugar, butter, and egg (sometimes with a splash of milk or cream), giving it a tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a slightly crisp bite. The added sugar not only sweetens the dough but also helps create a golden finish when baked. It is typically chilled before rolling out to prevent shrinkage and ensure a smooth, even crust.

Shortcrust pastry
Shortcrust pastry is a type of pastry often used as the base for tarts, pies, and quiches. It has a crisp, crumbly texture and is made by combining flour, fat (usually butter), and a small amount of water. The fat is rubbed into the flour to create a mixture resembling breadcrumbs before the water is added to bind it into a dough. The key to good shortcrust is minimal handling to avoid developing gluten, which can make the pastry tough instead of tender.
