It is the main ingedient that forms the bulk and the framework for the pastry
Flour is the main component of pastry - without it all you'd have is butter, water and a little salt (in most cases).
The gluten in the flour is what gives pastry it's ability to be easy to work with (it prevents it from falling apart too much). Working with gluten-free pastry is a challenge best avoided.
