NO. 3 Round Pastry Shell - Flaky - 55mm - 200 Shells

A compact, bite-sized pastry shell with all the character of a proper flaky pastry — shatteringly crisp on the outside, with the kind of light, layered texture that only comes from a recipe made with care. At 55mm, this No. 3 round is the ideal catering shell: substantial enough to hold a generous filling, small enough to eat in one or two bites without ceremony.

The flaky style is the natural choice for savoury applications — think smoked salmon and crème fraîche, chicken liver paté, whipped feta with roasted tomato, or a classic prawn cocktail. It also holds its own with robust sweet fillings where a little pastry backbone is welcome. Suitable for cold or hot fillings and can be rebaked once filled.

Format: 200 shells per carton | 55mm diameter | Flaky pastry

Founded in Sydney’s Botany in 1983, Pasteles Bakehouse has spent over four decades perfecting the art of the pastry shell. Working from a traditional family recipe, founder Ruth Danny built a business that now counts some of Australia’s finest hotels, caterers, restaurants, and specialty food stores among its loyal customers. The business took out the Best New Foodservice Product Award in Melbourne in 1994 and has since appeared in Gourmet Traveller, Vogue Australia, and the Australian Women’s Weekly.

HACCP certified and 100% Australian owned and operated, Pasteles produces three pastry styles — shortcrust, flaky, and sweet — each made with natural ingredients and finished by hand. These are shells that serious kitchens reach for again and again.
