For best results, ensure all ingredients, including the flour, are thoroughly chilled before starting. If using for a savory application, reduce the sugar to 1/2 teaspoon but don't eliminate it completely; it aids in browning and adds subtle flavor. Avoid over-processing the dough, as this will develop the gluten and result in a tougher pastry. When rolling out the dough, work quickly and keep it cold to prevent the butter from melting.
