hai iam haroon, The difference is in the apply of fat on the flour. In puff pastry the fat is spread on the rolled dough, where as in shortcrust the fat and flour is mix into sandy like texture using finger tips or icing spatcula.
Beef fat and lard are used less in cooking since the introduction of hydrogenated vegetable oils.
Always half fat to flour i.e: 8 ounces flour and 4 ounces of fat.

Yes. One cup of white flour will contain about 400 calories (19 fat calories).
It is used for easy rubbing of fat into flour.
Rubbing method is quick & simple, this method is used for plain cakes whereas creaming method is mostly used for mixtures in which the fat & sugar are beaten together until the mixture look like a nice cream.thanks for reading myanswer.........(^_^)

To obtain a flaky pastry. The hard fat (butter or lard) does not melt into the flour but creates many layers of fat separated by flour. These layers become flakes when the pastry is baked.
Get a bowl and put the flour into it next get a pan and put the butter in it and melt it then while its still hot pour the butter into the bowl then mix it together now put it in the fridge and....ENJOY!!!:)
