Shortcrust Pastry
Shortcrust Pastry is a basic pastry dough used widely in British and European baking for tarts, pies and quiches; it’s known for its crumbly, short texture created by rubbing fat into flour. Nutritionally it is relatively rich in fat, providing about 28g of fat per 100g, and is used sparingly as a pastry base rather than a main food. Compared with wholegrain or lower‑fat crusts, shortcrust pastry tends to be low in fiber and protective plant compounds and contains more saturated fat, so swapping to whole‑grain or thinner pastry layers can improve the nutritional profile.
