The fiber and bran in wholemeal flour, which add a nutty flavor to short crust pastry, also make it absorb more water, which produces a closer texture than pastry made with plain white flour. By combining white flour with wholemeal, either half and half or up to a quarter white and three-quarters wholemeal, you retain the wholemeal flavor but the dough is more manageable and easier to roll out.
