FLOUR The best flour for pastry is ALL PURPOSE FLOUR. B. SHORTENING It coats the particles of flour so water cannot penetrate them. Shortening must be chilled before it is used. Shortening Lard or Pork Fat, which gives the shortest crust. Butter, which is best in flavor and flakiness and is used in puff pastry. Margarine, which gives a rich flavor. Vegetable shortening, which has no characteristic color or taste of its own; or Vegetable oil, which is seldom used, because it does not produce a flaky crust. C. SALT It accentuates the taste of other ingredients. D. LIQUID WATER is the most commonly used in liquid in pastry dough. Milk, cream, fruit juice or eggs are also used in special recipe. Warm or lukewarm liquid soften the shortening nd results in a hard or brittle pastry. Cold Water must be used except in strudel or choux pastry.
