A slightly dressed-up version of charlotte. And one of the most successful examples of lean dough - it is fluffy, light and easily absorbs the filling. It is also important that it is much easier and faster to bake a jellied pie than any other: such dough does not require either rest or proofing. Eggs are also not required, and vegetable oil copes with the role of fat.
