Tricks for making this pie crust:įirst, make sure you use really cold, firm buttery spread if you want a flaky crust. All I used was gluten-free baking flour (can use all-purpose or cassava flour for Paleo), vegan buttery spread (can use regular unsalted butter or ghee for Paleo), one whole egg, cold water, and a little salt (optional). The best part is, it doesn’t use a ton of butter so it’s lower in fat than most pie crust recipes. The pie crust is gluten-free recipe and seriously so perfect! Flaky, thick, buttery… I’m drooling just thinking about it. There is just the right amount of flaky goodness, and makes it perfect for meal prep (no soggy crusts here!)ĭid you know? If you use a cast iron pan, a small amount of iron is imparted to the cooked food! About 20% of women of child-bearing age are severely deficient in iron, with many more getting suboptimal levels.
