GLUTEN FREE PIE CRUST RECIPE

This is a gluten free pie crust recipe, if anyone has a gluten problem when eating, this recipe is safe. Gluten a component in wheat is harmful to some, so without wheat in this recipe it is safe for anyone. Gluten has been known to give others allergies as well, so if you find that staying off of wheat products makes you feel better, then try these as we continue to learn about good eating and good health. As I move on through life, and my journey to keep from getting to level 4 kidney failure, I want to dedicate the rest of my life in helping others find solutions to their problems, gone from my blogs will be anything that has zero value. I hope you can turn others on to my blog posts, and share information.


GLUTEN FREE PIE CRUST

1/2 cup of Earth Balance Original Natural Buttery Spread chilled
1 1/2 cups of rice flour
4 tbsp. of iced water (key needs to be ice cold)

Directions:

In a bowl, add in the rice flour, and spoon the Earth Balance spread inside, make sure that it is chilled and not at room temperature, you want the crust to be flaky. Work the spread and flour together until just mixed, then add in the very iced cold water, using your fingers, work the dough and form a ball.

Place the dough in the center of an 8" pie pan with a nonstick spray lining the bottom and sides to prevent it from sticking. Work the dough up to the sides, and using a fork, poke some holes on the bottom of crust to prevent it from bubbling.

Preheat oven to 400 deg. f., place pie pan in for about 12-15 minutes until brown. Remove and cool, and now you have a vegan, gluten free pie crust to bake a pie in.

You can make a simple pumpkin pie buy purchasing a vegan/gluten free can of pumpkin filling, you're set, simple and hassle free. If you do want to make your own from scratch fillings since you've made your crust from scratch, stay tuned for future blogs posts and filling recipes from scratch.
