Rich All Butter Buttermilk Pastry
Rich All Butter Buttermilk Pastry is a tender dough made with all-purpose flour, plenty of butter, and buttermilk. The frozen butter is grated to create a breadcrumb texture before adding buttermilk, ensuring a delicate yet rich pastry. This dough is perfect for making pie crusts, yielding a buttery and flaky result that holds fillings well.
