Is shortcrust pastry the same as puff pastry?
No - though either could be used for baking a savoury pie or dessert. Shortcrust pastry has a higher proportion of fat to flour and requires more careful handling. For a dessert there is usually a good proportion of sugar added to shortcrust pastry. It is easy to make at home. Flakey pastry is made by a process of rolling and folding so that a pastry with thin layers of pastry separated by a thin smear of fat is produced. It is much more cost-effective to buy this type of pastry. It keeps in the freezer and is easier to handle than short crust. It has no sugar in it so can be used for either sweet or savoury pies. Flakey pastry can rise impressively during cooking and by glazing it with egg-wash it can bake to a glossy golden brown. You needn't line a pie dish with it. You can simply fill the dish with the filling and roll just a flakey pastry top, slash and glaze it before putting it in the oven. When serving you can lift off the whole top, portion it, and serve a piece of pastry to each guest along with the spooned-out filling.

The proper incorporation of margarine also helps create a desirable crumb structure, making the pastry easier to work with.
