Method
Prepare Pastry Shells
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Shape the Shells
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Wrap each strip around a cream horn mold, overlapping slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before removing from the molds.
