There are there methods of making Puff Pastry,
English, French and Scottish (known as flaky
pastry)
The ingredients are the same for each one, the
difference is how they are laminated.
Laminations is created by building up layers of
dough and fat.
It is when the pastry is placed into a hot oven
that the fat will melt and create pockets of
steam, it is the steam that will make the pastry
rise and create the layers that make it light and
easy to eat.

The dough is a mixture of strong flour needed
to withstand the steam that the fat will create,
water, margarine, lemon juice and very cold
butter.
The flour, margarine, lemon juice and water are
mixed together to make a stiff dough.
The dough must be well worked to develop the
gluten which is the protein in the flour, mix
until a degree of elasticity is achieved.

Is a mixture of soft flour, butter, lemon juice, icing
sugar and eggs. Baking powder is optional.
A good pastry should be soft and easy on the
palette
This is achieved by selecting the correct strength of
flour which should have a low protein content
Overwoeking the pastry can also cause it to
become brittle and will cause it to shrink during
baking and will destroy the
eating qualities,

some times glycerine is added to keep the
cake moist.
Sponge is a fat free mixture that tends to be
lighter than a cake base.
In both cases aeration that makes the
cake/sponge light and fluffy is acheived by
the air that is incorporated during mixing.
