Flaky pastry, also known as quick pastry, blitz pastry or rough puff, is a light and thin unleavened pastry that is similar to, but distinct from, puff pastry.[1][2][3] It is often called quick pastry or blitz pastry in reference to the short time its preparation requires.[4]
Flaky pastry relies on large lumps of butter (approximately 1 in or 2.5 cm across) mixed into the dough, as opposed to the large rectangle of butter in puff pastry.[1] Flaky pastry dough is then rolled and folded in a manner similar to puff pastry.[5]
The chunks of shortening keep the rolled particles of dough in the flaky pastry separate from each other, so that when the dough is baked they become flakes.[6] This yields a different texture from puff pastry, where rectangles of dough and fat are rolled and folded together in such a way that the result is a number of uniform sheets of pastry.[2][7]
Flaky pastry is used to make pasties, turnovers, sausage rolls, and plaits.
