Therefore I’m rather surprised that it is served with whipped...

Light, flaky, and even the correct shape in the pie pan (a personal problem I have with pie crust making). Whenever she made the crusts, she would put the leftover scraps of dough in an extra tin, sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar, and bake them too. We loved them.
