Pie crust is a pastry shell commonly used as the base for both sweet and savory pies. Composed primarily of flour, fat (such as butter, shortening, or lard), water, and a pinch of salt, its flaky texture is achieved through techniques that minimize gluten formation while layering fat into the dough. Originating from European cuisine, pie crusts have become a staple in global culinary traditions, accompanying fruit fillings, quiches, and meat pies alike. While it provides a rich, buttery flavor and satisfying texture, pie crust is typically high in saturated fat and carbohydrates, making it calorie-dense. However, whole-grain or reduced-fat alternatives can improve its nutritional profile. Homemade varieties may also exclude preservatives and additives found in commercial options, offering a cleaner ingredient list. Moderation is key when enjoying this beloved pastry.
