Shortcrust pastry is a type of pastry often used for the base of a tart, quiche or pie. It does not puff up during baking because it usually contains no leavening agent. It is possible to make shortcrust pastry with self-raising flour, however.
Puff Pastry can puff up to 8 times its original thickness. That means even a sheet rolled to a thin Â¼-inch thickness will rise 2 inches. Helpful Puff Pastry tools: Rolling pin, pastry board, sharp knife and/or pizza wheel to cut dough, pastry brush, baking sheets or parchment paper. If you donât have a pastry brush, you can use the tip of a rolled-up paper towel or your fingertip to apply egg wash. Puff Pastry should be eaten within a few hours of baking. Keep filled and prepared pastry in the fridge, covered in plastic wrap, until youâre ready to bake and serve.
