This is a list of pies, tarts, and flans. A pie is a baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough. Pies can be made from two pieces of pastry dough, known as a base and a top; or just a top, or just a base, and can contain fillings of various sweet or savory ingredients.
A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry. The pastry is usually shortcrust pastry; the filling may be sweet or savory, though modern tarts are usually fruit-based, sometimes with custard.
Flan, in Britain, is an open pastry or sponge case containing a sweet or savory filling. A typical flan of this sort is round, with shortcrust pastry.
The croustade, crostata, galette, and tarte tatin are various types of pies and tarts.
