What is the Secret of Good Shortcrust Pastry?

FLOUR
First of all, avoid flour with a high gluten content, especially bread flour or special pizza flour,
but reach for completely ordinary plain flour.

Secondly, treat the flour in such a way that the gluten contained in it does not start to manifest itself too quickly.
Since the gluten wakes up with liquid and kneading, you have to be careful about both.
For this reason I added the flour at the end of proccess.
Be careful not to overwork the dough otherwise will turn out tough and dense.

BUTTER should be very cold.

Bon appetite!
