  1. Gluten Free Pie Crust

    My son and I run a catering business and we were asked to come up with a gluten free pie crust. After plenty of research and trials, I think everyone would agree, this is good enough to replace their normal pie crust.

    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups soy flour
    1/2 cup arrowroot powder
    1/4 – 1/2 cup quinoa powder
    1 stick butter
    1/2 cup lard or Crisco
    1 egg
    1/4 cup ice water

    Work into small crumbs, adding quinoa slowly to avoid adding too much.

    Add one egg to 1/4 cup of ice water, mix and toss onto pie crust until just mixed.

    Roll out as usual and fill with desired filling* and place on top crust.

    This is a little “tangy” so I sprinkled the crust bottom and tops with cinnamon and sugar.

    * pre cook your toppings because the soy browns too quickly so you can’t bake it as long or as hot as normal.

    Keep the oven at around 330-340 degrees and watch for the doming of the crust to signal it is done.

  2. Thank you for sharing your gluten free pie crust recipe! It’s great to have alternatives for those with dietary restrictions. I appreciate the detailed instructions and tips on how to handle the crust. The addition of cinnamon and sugar sounds like a delicious touch. I’ll definitely give this recipe a try next time I’m making pumpkin pie.
