What is the proportion of fat to flour in flaky pastry?
The proportion of fat to flour depends largely on the type of pastry dough you are talking about, and what your fat source is. For pie crust dough, I've seen the ideal ratio described as 1 part fat to 2 parts flour. However, that ratio applies just to the ratio of one ingredient to another, not to the ultimate percentage of fat involved. Butter and shortening, for example, are not equivalent, and don't have the same fat content: shortening is 100% fat, whereas butter is around 80% fat (and the fat content can vary by brand). If you were referring to actual pastry dough, the percentage of fat to flour is going to differ more greatly. A popover dough for example, is going to contain a lot less butter than a pastry based on a puff pastry dough, croissants, for example.

What is the ratio of fat to flour in shortcrust pastry is this different for pate sucre?
In shortcrust pastry, the typical ratio of fat to flour is about 1:2, meaning for every part of fat, there are two parts of flour. In contrast, pâte sucrée, which is a sweet pastry, often has a higher fat content, with a common ratio of 1:1.5 or even 1:1, resulting in a richer and sweeter dough. This difference in fat content contributes to the texture and flavor variations between the two types of pastry.
Is puff pastry the same as pie crust?
No, puff pastry and pie crust are not the same. Puff pastry is made by repeatedly folding dough with butter to create many layers, resulting in a flaky texture. Pie crust is typically made with flour, fat, and water, and is usually more dense and crumbly.
Factors that influence the quality of puff pastry?
1. The freshness and quality of the ingredients. Good, fresh, quality ingredients make it better. 2. The number of layers of butter and flour in the puff pastry, i.e. the quality and expertise of the production of the puff pastry. The more layers of fat and flour, the more puffing, or expansion, in the puff pastry. 3. Proper cooking technique. If you undercook it, it won't puff properly and it certainly won't taste right. If you overcook it, it may have a burnt taste, the dough may toughen, it won't be good.
