About Pie crust

Pie crust is a pastry covering or base made from dough, commonly using flour and fat with some liquid. Once baked, it is usually crisp or flaky and may be pale to golden, with a relatively neutral, buttery, or otherwise fat-derived flavor. Recipes vary in ingredients, proportions, and handling, producing textures from tender and crumbly to layered and crisp.

Crust may be baked with a filling or baked empty before filling is added. It can be prepared from scratch or purchased ready-made, rolled, or frozen. The term describes the pastry component, not a single standardized recipe; sweeteners, fats, and other ingredients may differ, as may whether the crust is raw, partially baked, or fully baked.
