MIDTERM - LESSON 7 Flashcards
An assortment of rich flour mixtures consisting of a high proportion of fat to flour with relatively small amount of liquid with different kinds of fillings.
PASTRIES
The ideal flour in making pastries
PASTRY FLOUR
Can be used as a substitute for pastry flour
ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
Such as lard, hydrogenated shortening & butter are better used than liquid oil. If liquid oil is used, reduce the amount.
FAT
Water or liquid milk may be used.
LIQUID INGREDIENTS
Usually used liquid ingredients when making pastries
WATER
A liquid ingredient that improves flavor and water
MILK
Any of these liquids should be ____ when used. That is to keep the fat globules well distributed.
COLD
Is the primary leavener for pie crust
STEAM
Is the secondary leavening agent. This is because the moisture in the dough , once heated causes expansion.
AIR
such as vanilla, lemon, salt, nuts, chocolates and almond are added to pastry products to enhance its flavour.
FLAVORING
such as lemon juice, vinegar , buttermilk and sour cream are used.
ACIDIC INGREDIENTS
The use of ____ in any baked product improves the flavor. However, use it in minimum amount only.
SALT
Undergoes the process of repeatedly folding the solid fat into the dough top create very thin layer alternating layers of butter and dough. This results to a flaky pastry.
LAMINATED PASTRY
is made with puff pastry dough that results to light, flaky and buttery. These are typically baked in crescent shape. This dough contains a small amount of yeast to aid in the leavening.
CROISSANT
is a sweet pastry made from laminated yeasted bread that results to light, crisp and slightly flaky in texture.
DANISH PASTRY
The difference between the Danish and the Croissant is the egg ingredient. Danish contains egg and it comes in variety of shapes such as braids , envelopes and twists.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
Is light, puffy and flaky. This typically involves rolling out the pastry to come up with very thin layers of pastry separated by thin layers of butter. This type of pastry requires a higher percentage of butter.
PUFF PASTRY
is a very delicate pastry made from a sheet of dough that is as thin as tissue paper. This is made from flour with high gluten content, little amount of butter and with no sugar added. This type of pastry is very difficult to make as this requires careful handling because it is so fragile and dries out quickly.
PHYLLO, FILLO, OR FILO PASTRY
Is done by cutting the solid fat into the flour or adding melted or liquid oil. This type of pastry is more compact and crumbly.
NON-LAMINATED PASTRY
Are single or double-crust and filled with variations of fillings ranging from fruits, meat, vegetables and others like raisin, nuts, custard & cheese.
PIES
may be fresh, frozen or canned.
FRUIT FILLINGS

PUFFS AND POPOVERS
include regional delicacies like otap, barquillos, rosquillos, turones de kasoy and the all time favorites like hopia or empanaditas.
LOCAL FILIPINO PASTRIES
The dough used in pastries differ in flakiness & tenderness depending on the ratio of flour, shortening, salt & water.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
need only one layer that is usually laid at the bottom of the pan called the lower crust.
SINGLE-CRUST PIES
In some pies, the crust is found on top called _______. Pastel de lengua and chicken pastel only have this crust.
UPPER CRUST
However, most pies have a combination of _________. Buco pie, pineapple pie and apple pie are some of its examples.
LOWER AND UPPER CRUSTS
The traditional type of pies are round in shape and baked in pie pans approximately __ inches in diameter.
9
An ideal crust should be tender and flaky. These can be achieved in two ways: (1) by combining the right proportion of flour to shortening (2) by executing the correct technique in mixing.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
Starts by cutting the fat into the flour using a pastry blender or two kitchen knives. The cutting process continues until fat is fat is cut into small particles, the size of a corn grain, with each particle covered by flour.
PASTRY METHOD
After cutting, the cold water or milk is sprinkled on the mixture, blending it gently with a tossing motion using a ____.
FORK
When the mixture is moistened enough has to make cohesive, it is transferred to on floured surface and shape into a ____.
BALL
Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for about ___ minutes.

Pies may also be designed by using arranged strips to cover the whole pie.
