About Pastry crust

Pastry crust is a versatile dough made from a simple combination of flour, fat (such as butter, shortening, or lard), water, and a pinch of salt. Popular in European and Western cuisines, it serves as the foundation for pies, tarts, quiches, and other baked goods. Its flaky texture comes from the fat being worked into the flour, creating delicate layers during baking. While rich in flavor, pastry crust is typically high in calories and saturated fats, especially when made with butter or lard. It is a source of carbohydrates and contains minimal protein or fiber. Whole-grain flour or plant-based fats can be used to create healthier variations, offering more nutrients and reducing unhealthy fats. Pastry crust’s versatility and indulgent nature make it a favorite treat, though moderation is key to balancing its enjoyment with a healthy diet.
