How do I make a pie crust that is not soggy?
assistant
To make a pie crust that is not soggy, be sure to use a recipe that includes ingredients such as butter, shortening, or lard for added flakiness. Pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes before filling it to help ensure it does not become soggy. Additionally, use a pastry brush to spread an egg wash over the crust before baking it to help create a barrier between the filling and the crust, preventing it from becoming soggy.
