Butter tart dough is a classic pastry base used for making pies, quiches, and other desserts or savory dishes. It is characterized by its fine, crumbly, and flavorful texture, thanks to the predominant use of butter, which gives it a rich taste and a smooth yet firm consistency.
This type of dough has its origins in European cuisine, particularly in France, where it is known as pâte brisée. It is one of the basic doughs used to create both sweet and savory tart crusts, ideal for creamy, fruit, or vegetable fillings.
Among its properties are its easy handling and ability to hold its shape during baking, ensuring that the filling remains well-contained. The butter also adds a delicious aroma and a touch of richness, in addition to being a source of energy-providing fats.
In different regions of Latin America, this dough may also be called shortcrust pastry, butter dough, or simply pie dough. It is a fundamental ingredient in both traditional and modern recipes, ideal for those seeking a homemade and tasty result.
