What Is A Pie Shell Made Of?
A pie shell is typically made of flour, fat (such as butter or shortening), salt, and water. These ingredients are mixed together to form a dough, which is then rolled out and placed into a pie dish or tin. The crust can be baked on its own or filled with a sweet or savory filling before being baked. Some variations of pie crust may include additional ingredients, such as sugar or egg yolks.
