Hi
The kids complain that the pastry on my patties is too dry and flaky.
It's about 16oz flour, 4oz butter and 4oz lard and as little water as
possible.
What can I do to make it less flaky and moister?
cheers

Could you please describe what you are using it for?
Are the patties inside a pastry crust?
Are they meat or vegetable filling?
Would a bread dough be more to the kids liking?
Is the pastry fried or baked?

Where I live, you can get a meat pie with a flaky crust like what you
describe, or a "pizza dough" kind of crust.
