These crusts are the base for most pastry and pie recipes. The crust is first baked and then the filling is added, to make various pies.

While making crusts, take care not to knead the dough too much as the crumbly texture will be lost and you will end-up with a bread-like texture.

We have used this crust to make Vegetable Stew On A Shortcrust Pastry and Mixed Vegetable Pie .

This Recipe is a perfect basic recipe, it can be used to put any type of filling inside. I make this little in advance and keep it, cool it completely and then store in an air-tight container for a few hours.
