Pie pastry is a versatile dough used as a base or covering in both sweet and savory pies. Created from a simple combination of flour, butter or shortening, water, and sometimes a pinch of salt or sugar, it has origins in European cuisine, particularly British and French baking traditions. The butter or shortening gives it a rich, flaky texture, while the flour provides structure. Although a good source of energy due to its carbohydrate and fat content, pie pastry is generally high in calories and saturated fats, depending on the type of fat used. It offers little in terms of protein, fiber, or essential vitamins. Opting for whole-grain flour or using less butter can make it slightly healthier. Its versatility makes it popular worldwide, appearing in everything from fruit-filled desserts to hearty meat pies. As with any indulgent food, moderation is key.
