Make your Own Almond Flour Pie Crust 2 - Pastry Crust Substitute

This is another recipe for a gluten-free pastry pie crust.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
  • 2-3 tablespoons ice water

LET'S MAKE THE CRUST:

  1. Preheat oven at 425 degrees F.
  2. Combine salt and flour in a mixing bowl.
  3. Thoroughly add shortening to salt and flour.
  4. Add in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the almond flour is moistened and dough almost cleans the sides of the bowl. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of ice water as necessary.
  5. Roll out dough and fit in pie pan. For a baked shell, either prick the bottom and sides with a fork, or use pie weights so the shell doesn't bubble up.
  6. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
