Pastries

Turnovers were first seen in Europe during the dark ages. At first they were served as meat filled pastries. Eventually the very wealthy began including fruits and sweets.

No. A staple food is one that forms the principal part of a national or regional diet. Thus rice is a staple food in parts of China. Potatoes are a staple of many northern European countries. Taro/yam is a staple of Polynesia.

Butter is what makes the crust flakey, instead of hard.

Not usually. Pastry is a mixture of flour and fat (no yeast involved). Yeast is not normally added to the filling either.

egg binds the ingredients together and gives moisture and richness

Fat does a lot of things, depending on what type it is, how you incorporate it and what type of pastry you're making. Generally speaking, it will shorten gluten strands and provide flavor and richness. When making certain cakes and cookies, creaming (beating) the fat with sugar will trap air molecules and in turn, provide extra leavening. Using real butter in your Tollhouse cookie recipe will allow your cookies to have just the right amount of spreading during baking--use too much and they'll be greasy and spread too much; use too little and they'll likely be tough, dry and not spread enough. In rich doughs like brioche, butter creates a fine crumb and melt-in-your-mouth quality. Because of the amount of protein and milk solids in butter, it can be browned and add complex flavors and aromas to financiers, puddings, frostings, etc. Cold butter added at the end of a lemon curd or pastry cream recipe makes a creamier end product with a glossy sheen. Chiffon cakes were developed using only oil as the fat, creating a lighter sponge that doesn't harden in the fridge like a heavier butter cake. Solid fats like butter, shortening and lard make flakey pie dough... As I said before, it all depends on what you're doing with the fat--what you're making and how you incorporate it--that dictates what it does.

Butter is always reccomended for baking, due to it's low water content (compared to margarine) and better taste. The high fat levels in butter help prevent baked goods from staling. Please see related link. Usually the best butter to use is "French butter", due to it's extra low water content.

I'm going to have to say France, because of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was also the king of France Emperor of France during the French and Indian War. I'm pretty sure he also sold the USA, the Louisiana Purchase.

True, the cake did originate in France. But not because of Napoleon Bonaparte. The French call the cake Mille-Fueille, which means "thousand leaf." It is also called the vanilla-slice, cream-slice, and custard-slice in the UK.

The cake originated from France in 1651, which was nearly 100 years before Bonaparte was even born. This clearly proves Napoleon had nothing to do with the naming of the cake, or even its origination (which is still unknown, save for where and when. As for who made it originally, no one knows).

the pastry has as much flour inside it asa it does butter. e.g. if you had 20g of flour you would also have to put 20g of butter into the mixture to form the pastry.

The average pastry chef salary is (in the U.S.) anywhere from 35,000 dollars a year to a cozy sum of 60,000 dollars a year. Especially if you are just staring off, expect to start in the lower half of the salary bracket, but this job has very decent wages. A good area where pastry chef salaries are high (but there may be competition) is California.
