Simple short crust pastry for sweet pastries is very easy to make: 2 cups flour, 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar (or less if you prefer less sweet). Mix well together and roll out or, easier still - press into the bottom of a baking paper lined pan.

As for puff pastry (Blaetterteig), it's hell to make, so it's best to get it from Denner (they have a decent one which I prefer to those from Migros or Coop).
