Healthy pie crust

Pie crust dough is a fundamental base in Latin American baking and cuisine, with roots dating back to European influence, especially from Spain and France, who brought the tradition of pies and quiches to the New World. In different countries of the region, this preparation goes by various names and variants; for example, in Mexico it is simply known as "pie dough," while in Argentina it is common to hear "tart dough" or "shortcrust pastry." In Colombia and Venezuela, it is often called dough for tartlets or sweet empanadas, depending on the filling and desired texture. Over the years, this recipe has evolved by adapting to local ingredients and health preferences, giving rise to healthier versions like the one we present today.
