Making a crust can be one of the more frustrating parts of baking. Especially when you're experimenting with different fillings or are pressed for time, it's often just less time-consuming to use a store-bought crust. But when you want a good homemade crust, any of these recipes would fit the bill.
Cheesy Quiche Crust
This is a yummy, simple crust for quiche. If the crust still doesn't seem fully baked at the end of the quiche baking time, turn up the oven to 425°F for about 10 minutes. Quiche freezes well, so you can always pop slices back in the oven at 425°F and the crust will continue to get crispier and flakier.
Perfect Pie Crust
This was the crust recipe I linked to for the pumpkin pie (well, butternut squash pie) in the last post. I thought it deserved another link here.
Shortbread Crust
This is included in a lemon tart recipe--it is a very good recipe too!--but it could work with any tart filling, or possibly even with just fruit and whipped cream if baked on its own.
Apple Pie Crust
Although I loved the Perfect Pie Crust above for pumpkin pie, this one from The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook is my go-to for apple pie. The filling recipe is excellent as well; I usually add a little brown sugar to it when simmering.
