Empty the food processor, placing the dough mixture on a clean surface. Use the heel of your palm to shmoosh the dough mixture onto the table surface a few times. This action will help flatten and spread the butter between layers of flour, so that the resulting dough will be flaky.

Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

Cajun works really well with Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. You could try Terras Gaudan O Rosal Albarino Blend. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 23 dollars per bottle.

Greenish-yellow in color, this wine has a generous nose of ripe peach, orange peel, white flower and baked apple; the mouth is round with hints of minerality and honey. It finishes crisp and clean revealing its stunning structure and balance in acidity.
