Answer to Question 1

The pastry is crumbly.

Answer to Question 2

Both flakiness and tenderness are desirable characteristics of pastry. Tenderness results when the fat coats the flour in such a way that hydration of the flour particles is minimized. Pastry tenderness can be evaluated objectively with the Bailey shortometer. This instrument 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.
