Cold butter is key: Using cold butter helps create that flaky texture. Don’t get tempted to soften it!
Adjust the jam: Wanna spice things up? Try using different jams like strawberry or blueberry.
Texture control: If the dough feels too crumbly, a splash of cold water might be just what it needs to come together.
