Pie crust is the pastry base and covering for sweet or savory pies, typically made from flour, fat (butter, shortening, or lard), water, and salt, rolled thin and baked until flaky and golden. Achieving a good crust requires keeping the fat cold and minimizing gluten development through careful mixing and handling. It's a foundational baking skill prized by home cooks and pastry chefs for both dessert and savory pie applications.
