what makes pie?

Answer 1

a pie is usually a dessert, but not necessarily, that has a flaky crust made from flour, salt, shortening and cold water. very simple, but if done right, very flaky and what makes the pie.

the filling is usually fruit, but can include nuts (pecan pie), or meat and vegetables (shepherd's pie). for most pies, there is a top crust, although some pies, like pecan or lemon merangue, do not have one.

you may have heard the term 'pizza pie'. people refer to pizza as pie, because it too has a crust.

usually, you can refer to anything with a crust or a shell of some type as a pie.

Answer 2

A pie is a baked food, with a baked shell usually made of pastry that covers or completely contains a filling of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards, nuts, or other sweet or savoury ingredients. Pies can be either "one-crust," where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry/potato mash top before baking, or "two-crust," with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Some pies have only a bottom crust, generally if they have a sweet filling that does not require cooking. These bottom-crust-only pies may be known as tarts or tartlets. An example of a bottom-crust-only pie that is savoury rather than sweet is a quiche. Tarte Tatin is a one-crust fruit pie that is served upside-down, with the crust underneath. Blind-baking is used to develop a crust's crispiness, and keep it from becoming soggy under the burden of a very liquid filling. If the crust of the pie requires much more cooking than the chosen filling, it may also be blind-baked before the filling is added and then only briefly cooked or refrigerated.

Pie fillings range in size from tiny bite-size party pies or small tartlets, to single-serve pies (e.g. a pasty) and larger pies baked in a dish and eaten by the slice. The type of pastry used depends on the filling. It may be either a butter-rich flaky or puff pastry, a sturdy shortcrust pastry, or, in the case of savoury pies, a hot water crust pastry.

Occasionally the term pie is used to refer to otherwise unrelated confections containing a sweet or savoury filling, such as Eskimo pie or moon pie.

Answer 3

Depends on what kind of pie... The crust is made from "cutting" crisco or lard into a bowl of flour and salt... Then, depending on what kind of pie you want, say chocolate cream pie, you get some puddiong and some whipped cream and, well, Make Pie!
