Description

9-inch pre-baked pie crusts are ready-to-use preparations consisting of a pre-cooked pastry shell, specially designed for creating standard-sized sweet or savory pies (approximately 23 cm in diameter). These crusts provide a practical and quick solution for those who want to assemble pies without the need to prepare and bake the dough from scratch.

The origin of these crusts is linked to the European pastry tradition, where pies are a classic element in French and English cuisine. Currently, they are mass-produced in different countries, offering a convenient option for home cooks and kitchen professionals.

Regarding their properties, these crusts are usually made from flour, butter or vegetable fats, and in some cases include sugar or salt depending on whether they are intended for sweet or savory pies. They are versatile, easy to handle, and provide a crispy, golden texture to the final dish.

In different Latin American countries, pre-baked pie crusts may have various names, such as "pre-baked pastry for pie," "pie crust," "empanada base" or simply "pie base". These names reflect their function in the preparation of desserts and main dishes that require a firm, ready-to-fill base.
