While just the thought of making a pie crust can make some people go cold with fear, there are some simple dos and don’ts that can make all the difference. Once you’ve gotten the hang of making your own quiche crust from scratch, I’ll wager you won’t be going back to the store-bought variety any time soon, not unless you’re seriously pressed for time anyway.
Quiche crusts are most often made from shortcrust pastry, though you can also use flaky pastry, puff pastry, or an enriched shortcrust pastry―for those who are health conscious, substitute oil in place of the shortening for a reduced fat version of the standard quiche recipe. Making pie crust isn’t all that difficult, and the results are well and truly worth the effort.
If you’re new to pies and baking, it might help to keep a few points in mind to ensure that your quiche crust is up to the mark. As with all things learned, you will become more proficient as you practice, but to keep disasters to a minimum, the following are some simple tips to getting a perfect pastry.

You can use the same amounts for mini quiche crusts, and line a mini tart pan with the rolled out dough―it should serve for 24 miniature quiches. Once you get the hang of these recipes, you’ll find baking them a breeze. With experience, you’ll also know when to incorporate a little more or less flour or butter, to ensure your crust is melt-in-the-mouth crumbly. Make your own signature style quiche crust, by adding cheese, cracked pepper or paprika into the base, and store-bought versions will soon be a thing of the past.
