Homemade Pie Crust recipe:
3c Gluten-free mix
6T sweet rice flour or plain rice flour
3T powdered sugar (non-GMO)
1 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
3/4 tsp. sea salt
1 1/4 c organic shortening ( I like the Spectrum brand)
2T flax mixed with 6T rice milk or water
2T lemon juice
2T each- rice milk and raw sugar for brushing over top
Filling:
approx. 1c organic jam (we use strawberry from Costco)
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Make the dough and split into 2 pieces. Roll out 1 piece of the dough into a large rectangle leaving the dough about 1/4" thick. Make sure the work surface in which you are rolling the dough out on is floured or the dough will stick to the counter top. Spread the Jam over 1/2 of the rectangle. Fold the side that does not have jam on it over the top of the jam side and pinch the edges with a fork to close them. Move to lightly greased baking sheet and brush with 1T rice milk and 1T raw sugar. Cut a few "V" vents over the top. Repeat with second piece of dough. Bake for 15-20 minutes, making sure they top is golden brown. These are so yummy that I love to snack on them! Enjoy!
** side note- this pie crust also works wonderfully for pies**
Looks good, thank you for sharing. Have you ever tried coconut oil in place of the organic shortening? I wonder if it would work as well.
ReplyDeleteI have and it was a little more runny. You could also try raw or regular butter in place of the shortening. :)
