Answer to Question 1

Plastic fats such as hydrogenated shortening and lard result in the flakiest crusts.

Answer to Question 2

To distribute solid fat in dry ingredients until the fat particles are the desired size. Flakiness is impacted by fat particle size. When fat is cut in small, cold pieces into the dough, the fat will melt during baking and leave empty spaces where steam may collect to leaven and lift the layers of dough. These pockets of air yield a flakey product.
