The BEST Flaky Grain-Free Pie Crust

I feel like it’s been over a decade that my girls and I have been searching for the best flaky grain-free pie crust. We kept trying recipes and adapting recipes and well, plenty of trial and error. Still, it had eluded us…

Then two weeks ago, Hannah tried her hand at making Chicken Pot Pie and just threw together a grain-free pie crust, not hopeful at all, that her attempts this time would be any better than before but what she created was sublime! We are thrilled to share this long-awaited recipe with you!

 

 

The BEST Flaky Grain-Free Pie Crust

Makes 1 double pie crust or 2 single pie crusts

 

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour

1 cup Tapioca Starch

1 cup Potato Starch

1 cup cold, salted, grass-fed, butter or palm shortening

6 – 10 TBS of cold milk or dairy substitute

1 egg for the egg wash

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Lightly whisk the flours together.
2. Cut the cold butter into half-inch slices and using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture. It should resemble crumbled oatmeal when you are done.
3. Mix in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the pie crust dough is incorporated.
4. Pat the dough and form into two rounds. Cover and chill for an hour.
5. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
6. Crack the egg in a small bowl and whisk together, set aside for the egg wash.
7. Roll out chilled dough and form into a pie dish. Fill with pie filling and cover with the pie crust top if so desired.
8. Bake time will vary depending on the type of pie you are making.

 

ENJOY!
