The term pastry comes from the word “paste”, meaning “to stick”. Pastry is mixture of flour, liquid, and fat. In the bakeshop, pastry refers to both various pastes and dough and to the many products made from them.
The two fundamental types of pastry are yeast- raised pastry, such as Danish dough and pie dough. Besides these various types of short dough, puff pastry, also known as pâte feuilletée, and éclair paste, also known as pâteà choux are other types of pastry. On the other hand, crisp meringues and other meringue-type sponges though they are not made from a flour paste are also considered pastries because they are used like flour pastries in combination with creams, fillings, fruits, and icings to create a wide range of desserts.

5. Pies and Pastries
Pies and pastries, like cakes, are
delightful to eat especially when they
are baked properly. A well-prepared
pastry may be determined by the
quantity of its pie crust.
6. Pies and Pastries
Pastry is a delicate baked product which consists of crust
and filling. It contains high percentage fat, which
contributes to a flaky or crumbly texture. A good pastry is
light and airy and fatty, but firm enough to support the
weight of the filling. When making a short crust pastry,
care must be taken to blend the fat and flour thoroughly
before adding any liquid. This ensures that the flour
granules are adequately coated with fat and less likely to
develop gluten.
