This recipe is the first in a series of gluten-free, wheat-free pie crusts for a gluten-free diet.<\/p>\n

I call it Gluten-free Pie Crust with Quinoa #1<\/em>. it is not the first Quinoa-based wheat-free crust I have made, but the first successful one.<\/p>\n

Making a pie crust without wheat<\/a> is difficult, but I am finding, possible.<\/p>\n

This gluten-free<\/a> crust is for a nine-inch pie plate.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 1\/4 Cup Butter<\/li>\n
  • 3\/4 Cup Quinoa flour<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 Tsp Salt<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 Tsp Baking Powder<\/li>\n
  • 2 Tbs Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Pie Crust Instructions<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Pre-heat the oven to 350F<\/li>\n
    2. Put the butter into a pot, and put the heat on low.<\/li>\n
    3. When the butter is melted, add the quinoa flour, salt and baking powder. You can pre-mix it if you like, but it will get pretty well mixed during the following two steps.<\/li>\n
    4. Using a large spoon, mix the butter into the gluten-free flour mixture. Keep mixing and pressing in the unmelted butter until the wheat-free flour is evenly mixed with the butter.<\/li>\n
    5. Add the water. Mix until the water is evenly mixed with the gluten-free flour mixture.<\/li>\n
    6. Dump the gluten-free pie crust mixture into the pie pan.<\/li>\n
    7. Using your fingers, press the wheat-free pie crust into an even covering along the bottom of the pan and up the sides.<\/li>\n
    8. Using a fork, poke holes into the base of the crust. They do not have to penetrate the crust, but it is OK if they do. Place fork-holes about every inch or so around the outer edge of the bottom of the pie pan, and round the middle too.<\/li>\n
    9. Place the pie crust in the oven. Bake until brown (approximately 20 minutes). Check it every so often to make sure it does not burn!<\/li>\n
    10. Remove from the oven and add gluten-free pie filling.<\/li>\n
    11. Bake according to pie filling instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
