Common questions

What is the difference between puff pastry and shortcrust pastry?
Puff pastry is built from many layers of dough and fat that expand in the oven for a flaky, risen finish. Shortcrust is a simple rubbed-in or creamed fat-and-flour mix that bakes crisp and 'short' (tender and crumbly) with little lift. Use puff when you want height and flakes (vol-au-vents, turnovers); use shortcrust for tarts, quiches, and pies where a firm shell matters.
Should puff pastry be cold when I bake it?
Yes. Warm puff loses the distinct layers of butter or margarine and may bake unevenly. If it softens while shaping, chill it on the tray before baking.
Why did my puff pastry not rise?
Common causes are warm dough, old pastry, crushed layers from heavy rolling, or opening the oven early so steam escapes. Bake at a high enough temperature initially so water in the fat turns to steam and lifts the layers.
What oven temperature is best for puff pastry?
A hot oven—often around 200°C or higher for the first part of baking—helps rapid steam generation. Some recipes reduce heat partway through so the inside cooks without burning the top.
