What happens to pastry if it has too little fat?
there are a couple of reasons that you should use butter when it's called for in a recipe. for one, butter has water content and milk solids, it is not just fat. when you are using butter for a pastry crust, the water in the butter evaporates and creates tiny pockets in the dough and that's how you get a really nice flaky crust. the milk solids and milk sugars in the butter help brown whatever it is that you are baking, and give it that caramel-y baked flavor. Also the high fat content in butter leaves your pastry more tender, more moist, and well: fat just makes everything taste better. Low fat spreads just aren't a functional substitute for butter when it comes to pastry.
one thing to note though is that crisco does have a place in pastry. for cookies especially, if you use crisco your cookies will be rounded, taller, and less spread out than cookies made with butter, which will leave you with flatter, crispier, spread out cookies.
hope this helps!
What spices make up the ingredients for pastry spice?
Pastry cream powder is a form of starch used in the creation of pastry cream. This pastry cream is the basis of many different fillings for different desserts like tarts, eclairs and various other sweets. It is white in color and has a slight vanillin odor and its texture is most compared to corn starch. Like corn starch, it is a thickener and works upon contact. As it is mostly available online or through commercial outlets many a time it is replaced by corn starch as it is cheaper and more readily available. The pastry cream, however is a lot less gelatinous, when corn starch is substituted.
MACAROONS (French)
Macaroons are a good choice ; they are lovely little cookies.
Here is the basic recipe for 4 to 6 persons :
Ingredients : 225 gr [1/2 lb] ground almonds / 225 gr [1/2 lb] sugar /
4 egg whites.
Then you have to chose your flavor :
- for coffee flavor = 1 teaspoon coffee extract
- for vanilla flavor = 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- for fruit / berry flavour = 1 teaspoon fruit / berry extract…
- one original version : 1 teaspoon rum or fortified wine
- Mix the sugar and ground almonds.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff and frothy
- Gently incorporate the egg whites to the preparation, then add the
flavour extract.
- On a buttered baking tray, display small balls of paste, sizing as a
small walnut.
- Bake in preheated oven at 170°C / 325°F for 15 minutes ; take the
tray out and let cool down.
Macaroons can be eaten this way or filled. If you wish to fill them,
prepare the filling while they are cooling down.
- for fruit / berry ones, I suggest to simply spread a little marmalade
or jelly.
- for coffee or chocolate ones, I suggest to prepare a "ganache"
(sort of cream) ; in this case, simply boil 3 Tablespoons double cream
with some flavouring (1 oz plain black chocolate, 1 teaspoon coffee
extract, etc….) ; just taste your cream and adjust flavouring….
Whatever your chosen flavor(s), sandwich 2 macaroons together
with their fillings.

Can you use oil for shortcrust pastry?
The crust is still crisp, but it lacks the flakiness you get from bits of solid fat and the rich taste of butter. If a recipe calls for solid butter, I would recommend shortening or margarine as a substitute because solid fats have a different composition than liquid fats in baking.

Is shortcrust pastry the same as puff pastry?
No - though either could be used for baking a savoury pie or dessert.
Shortcrust pastry has a higher proportion of fat to flour and requires more careful handling. For a dessert there is usually a good proportion of sugar added to shortcrust pastry. It is easy to make at home.
Flakey pastry is made by a process of rolling and folding so that a pastry with thin layers of pastry separated by a thin smear of fat is produced. It is much more cost-effective to buy this type of pastry. It keeps in the freezer and is easier to handle than short crust. It has no sugar in it so can be used for either sweet or savoury pies.
Flakey pastry can rise impressively during cooking and by glazing it with egg-wash it can bake to a glossy golden brown. You needn't line a pie dish with it. You can simply fill the dish with the filling and roll just a flakey pastry top, slash and glaze it before putting it in the oven.
When serving you can lift off the whole top, portion it, and serve a piece of pastry to each guest along with the spooned-out filling.
