All pastries except filo/phyllo and strudel are primarily flour and butter, in a ratio between 1:1 (puff, danish, croissant) to 3:1 (choux). Shortcrust is normally a 2:1 ratio.

Sweet pastries will also normally contain eggs and sugar.

Is pastry margarine used for puff pastry because it freezes well or has high melting point?

Pastry margarine performs better than butter in making puff pastry because of its high melting point. It does not melt quickly, thus allowing time for the puff pastry dough to rise sufficiently high while not making it heavy and soggy. Then as the temperature increases, the pastry margarine will then melt and infuse into the risen pastry, giving it its scrumptious flavor.
