Benjamina Ebuehi emphasizes that when making pastry, keeping the butter and water cold is crucial for achieving the right texture and preventing crumbly dough.
Manon Lagreve prefers using a food processor for making dough as it keeps the butter cool, ensuring a good shortcrust without overhandling.
Adriann Ramirez combines techniques from both puff and shortcrust pastry, suggesting a less traditional shaggy texture but still aiming for optimal results.
