despite chilling before and after rolling, this pastry shrank a LOT. Why is soft butter used instead of cold?

Response from the Magimix team: Great question! Soft butter works differently in the Magimix — it emulsifies into the flour rather than creating a crumb texture. Shrinkage is usually caused by insufficient resting time. We recommend chilling the pastry for 30 minutes after mixing, and again for 15 minutes after lining the tin.
