flaky crust
Tender pie shell
A flaky crust is a pastry shell that separates into thin, crisp layers when baked.
The texture comes from fat distributed through flour in distinct pieces rather than fully blended, creating steam pockets during baking: The pie had a perfectly flaky crust.
Flaky crusts are prized for pies, croissants, and puff pastry.
