At first margarine came in a plastic pouch with a "pill" of coloring. You would pop the button through the bag and proceed to mix the color into the margarine so it could be yellow like butter. This must have been in the late 40's or early 50's.
Yes, it would. For best results, use the amount of margarine called for in your recipe.
you mix flour, water and margarine/butter together. put it in the pastry design you want cook it then you get a pastry!
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.
Margarine in shortcrust pastry serves as a fat that contributes to the pastry's tenderness and flakiness. It inhibits gluten formation by coating flour particles, resulting in a softer texture. Additionally, margarine adds moisture and richness, enhancing the overall flavor of the pastry. The proper incorporation of margarine also helps create a desirable crumb structure, making the pastry easier to work with.

Pastries are typically made with butter because it makes them quite flaky and they brown well. ALso, since the other ingredients in most types of pastry are just flour and salt (and maybe yeast), butter has a lot to do with the flavour. Margarine based pastry will taste different and may not be quite as flaky. Good quality bakeries probably only use butter, while a lot of commercial products are made with margarine or other fats/oils. Read the lable to find out.
Margarine carving is when people have a big block of butter and carve it like ice sculptures. They use a butter knife and it can take many hours to complete.
Produces a less 'short' and less flaky result as the fat content is lower. May also rise / have less air separation between the layers (for example in puff pastry) due to the difference in the amount of water that is present and available for evaporation. The pasty may feel denser in texture and more solid in the mouth than pastry made with butter.

The function of margarine in pastry is how the pastry becomes light and crunchy. As the butter or margarine is folded into the dough it makes pockets. Once the pastry is heated the butter melts out into the dough leaving the space it once occupied as a solid.
