About Flaky pastry

Flaky pastry is a delicate, layered dough traditionally used in European baking, originating from French cuisine. Made by alternating layers of butter and dough, its signature texture comes from the steam created during baking, causing the pastry to puff and separate into crispy, golden layers. The core ingredients—flour, water, salt, and butter—form the foundation of this indulgent treat. While its buttery richness makes it irresistibly tender and flavorful, it is high in saturated fats and calories, which should be enjoyed in moderation. Flaky pastry is versatile, used in both sweet and savory dishes, from fruit-filled tarts to rich meat pies. Though not particularly nutrient-dense, it can be paired with healthy fillings like vegetables or lean proteins to balance indulgence with nutritional value. Perfect for special occasions or as a base for creative recipes, flaky pastry remains a timeless favorite in global cuisine.
