What is happening when you rub fats into flour?

The fibers of flour are long and stringy. When they get wet they become gooey. Thus, shortening. The fats shorten the fibers and keep the flour from becoming a glob. Oil works on the same principle. Answer When you rub fats into flour you are surrounding the little bits of fat with flour which will result in a flakey texture in your finished product


What is it to mix 1 part of something to 2 parts of something?

Mixing two things with 1 part of one to 2 parts of another is setting a ratio. The ratio of 1 to 2, or 1:2 will insure "good results" in the activity. If 1 pound of sugar is mixed with 2 pounds of flour, you'll have a 1:2 ratio. If you mix 2 pounds of sugar with 4 pounds of flour, you'll have that same 1:2 ratio. Ratio, or proportion as some call it, insures that a cook, baker or another individual combining ingredients to make anything will end up with the desired results at the end of the mixing operation. The ingredients will be in the mixture in the correct ratio or proportion.

What is the proportion of fat to flour in flaky pastry?

The proportion of fat to flour depends largely on the type of pastry dough you are talking about, and what your fat source is. For pie crust dough, I've seen the ideal ratio described as 1 part fat to 2 parts flour. However, that ratio applies just to the ratio of one ingredient to another, not to the ultimate percentage of fat involved. Butter and shortening, for example, are not equivalent, and don't have the same fat content: shortening is 100% fat, whereas butter is around 80% fat (and the fat content can vary by brand). If you were referring to actual pastry dough, the percentage of fat to flour is going to differ more greatly. A popover dough for example, is going to contain a lot less butter than a pastry based on a puff pastry dough, croissants, for example.
