About Shortcrust dough

Shortcrust dough is an uncooked pastry mixture used as a base or covering for pies and tarts. A common form combines flour with fat and enough liquid to bring it together, but recipes vary in fat type, enrichment, and proportions. The dough is usually pliable when handled briefly and may be crumbly or tender after baking.

It is commonly rolled out and fitted into a tin or shaped for pastry cases, then baked with or without a filling. Chilled dough is often easier to handle and may be sold fresh or frozen. This is a broad pastry category, not one fixed recipe, and its flavour and texture depend on the ingredients and handling.
