pie crust
Buttery pastry layer
Pie crust is the pastry shell that forms the base and often the top of a pie.
It's typically made from flour, fat, and water, baked until golden and flaky.
A good pie crust should be tender but hold its shape.
The lattice pie crust let the cherry filling bubble through.
The idiom pie-crust promise describes a pledge easily broken—like the crust itself.
