So, is pie crust puff pastry? No. Absolutely not. They are distant cousins who share a last name but have very different hobbies.
Pie crust is for cozy dinners and easy quiches. Puff pastry is for showing off at brunch or making napoleons that impress your mother-in-law.
Use pie crust when you want a tender bite. Use puff pastry when you want a standing ovation. Or, you know, just a really good, messy, buttery snack.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve convinced myself to make both. For science. And for my stomach. Pass the butter, please.
