ADVICE OF THE CHEF:
Very important when you want to make a good pastry crust that is not hard, but in fact, do not warm up with your hands and tools, the dough being processed. The butter should be incorporated cold at room temperature. (never cook it to dissolve it) so remember to pull it out of the refrigerator several hours before.
