Answer to Question 1

The shortometer is an instrument that measures the force (breaking strength) required to break small wafers of plain pastry, crackers, or cookies. A greater amount of force is required to break a less tender product. It is advisable to do a large number of samples due to the variation of product.

Answer to Question 2

So many variations of pastries exist that there is no standard way to describe them. However, baked pastry is characteristically flakey, tender, crisp, and lightly browned.
