butter crust
Rich pie shell
A butter crust is a pastry crust made with a high proportion of butter, yielding a rich, flaky texture.
The term distinguishes it from crusts made with shortening, lard, or oil: The pie had a golden butter crust that shattered at the touch of a fork.
Butter crusts are prized in French pastry traditions for their flavor and delicate layers.
