What's the difference between pie crust and puff pastry?


  • Puff pastry comes from many layers of stacked dough and butter and bakes light and airy. Whereas pie crust usually has a single layer of dough and bakes more solid with a slight crunch.
  • Puff pastry is made with flour, water and butter and no leavening agents. Butter is dolloped in between layers to create steam during baking and allows the layers to rise and puff.
  • Pie crust contains the same ingredients but usually contains egg and salt, too. Butter is cut in and mixed into the dough for pie crust
Should you put egg wash on puff pastry?


You can put egg wash on if you'd like! Egg wash can be used to help seal puff pastry and gives it a golden-brown shine when baked.

Where Do Pot Pies Come from?


According to an English documentary I recently watched and wikipedia, In the 16th century, the English gentry revived the custom of serving pies and the tradition soon swept the country.

A British food commenter once described them as, "which they bake in pasties, and this venison pasty is a dainty rarely found in any other kingdom."

The meat pies made by the English of that era (called pot pies in North America) would include various meats such as pork, lamb, birds and game. During the reign of Elizabeth I, English cooks made pies using “chicken peepers,” which consisted of chicks stuffed with gooseberries.

The obsession with pies spread to the New World soon after it spread across Europe when the first European American settlers took their pie recipes with them when they moved westward.
