Why does cold fat create more layers in dough than warm fat?

If you experiment with making pastry, you will find that cold fat makes the flakiest pastry. The reason can be found in the oven.Flaky pastry is made of many fine layers. In the oven, it is fat that separates the layers in the dough. As the water in the dough turns to steam and expands, it pushes these layers of dough apart, forming the characteristic blisters or flakes of good flaky pastry. The greater the number of layers, the flakier the final pastry will be.
