Cold Ingredients: Ensure both the butter and water are very cold to achieve a flaky texture in the pastry.
Handling the Dough: Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent toughness. Overworking the dough can result in a tough pastry.
Customization: Add flavor variations such as herbs, spices, or citrus zest to the dough for savory or sweet pastries.
Preventing Shrinkage: When lining pie pans or tart shells, gently press the dough into place without stretching it to prevent shrinkage during baking.
