| Shortcrust Pastry | 1:1 (by weight/area) | Much less flaky and more dense, but suitable for pies, tarts, and some savory dishes where crispness isn't paramount. |
| Flaky Biscuit Dough | 1:1 (by weight/area, if rolled thin) | Can provide some lift and flakiness, but not the distinct, delicate layers of puff pastry. Good for quick savory toppings. |
| Pie Crust | 1:1 (by weight/area) | Similar to shortcrust, provides a sturdy base but lacks the dramatic puff and crispness of laminated doughs. |
