Savoury Pie Crust
One of the more popular savoury recipes, Anna Olson’s savoury pie crust is a versatile recipe that only takes 15 minutes to prep! It has a lower ratio of butter than a traditional fruit pie crust but because it uses more delicate cake and pastry flour, it comes out tender yet sturdy enough to support any savoury filling.
