Gluten Free, Pie crust
Jan 22
One of the hard things about having to be gluten free is the deserts that you miss out on.
I like to bake pies, and have always liked to bake pies but I had to quit with the addition of gluten free in my family (not by choice).
With gluten free fours more readily available (and here is a recipe for gluten free flour), here is a way to make the pie crust that you may want to use to keep some "normaility" in your life.
Note that this will make 2 crusts. If you nly need 1 crust for a custard based pie then only use half the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of gluten free flour
- 1/2 cup of butter (or some type of shortning)
- 1 egg (this helps bind the crust)
- 2/3 cups or so of ice cold water
- 1/4 tsp of Xantham gum (if your gluten free flour has it, then omit this)
