Faq
- Why is my dough too sticky?
Make sure you've added just the right amount of flour. If it’s still sticky, gradually add more flour until the dough achieves a non-sticky, soft texture.
- Can I use a hand mixer instead of mixing by hand?
Yes, but be careful not to over-mix. The dough should be combined just until ingredients are incorporated.
- How do I know when the pastry is baked through?
The top should be a light golden brown color. Overbaking can cause the pastries to be too hard.
- Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely, the dough can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
- How can I prevent the dough from spreading when baking?
Ensure the dough is well-chilled before baking. This helps maintain the shape during cooking.
- Can I freeze the dough?
Yes, you can freeze the dough for up to a month. Defrost in the refrigerator before rolling and cutting.
