Great Pie Crust Recipe (and Pie Crust Cinnamon Rolls Too!)

I thought I would share my pie crust recipe with everyone. Dealing with this new diagnosis has not been easy, but realizing that I could still bake a cherry pie (or any pie for that matter) was really exciting. Though it was not as easy as working with wheat flour, I embraced the new challenge.

Four Flour Pastry

"The Gluten Free Gourmet"

By Bette Hagman

Ingredients

2 cups Four Flour Bean Mix (listed below)

1/4 cup sweet rice flour

1 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp baking powder (gluten free)

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp sugar

1/3 cup margarine or butter

1/3 cup Butter Flavor Crisco

1 small egg or 3 tbsp liquid egg substitute

1 tbsp vinegar

3 tbsp ice water

Sweet rice flour for rolling

Four Flour Bean Mix (exchanges cup for cup with wheat flour)

FOR 9 CUPS:

2 cups Garfava bean flour (I used Garbonzo)

1 cup sorghum flour

3 cups cornstarch

3 cups tapioca flour

FORMULA: (If you want to make a different amount)

2/3 Part Garfava bean flour

1/3 part sorghum flour

1 part cornstarch

1 part tapioca flour

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in the margarine and Crisco in small pieces until you have shortening the size of lima beans (not cornmeal).

Beat the egg with a fork and add the vinegar and ice water. Stir into the dry ingredients, forming a ball. You may refrigerate to chill, but it is not necessary.

Divide dough into two halves and roll the first half out onto plastic wrap dusted with sweet rice flour. Transfer to a pie tin by inverting the plastic wrap. Add the pie filling and roll out the second half of the dough. Place the second crust over the filling, seal the edges, and bake as directed for the filling used.

For a baked pie shell, prick the pastry with a fork on the sides and bottom. Bake in a preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes. Cool before filling. Makes on 2-crust pie or 2 pie shells.

MY NOTES:

  • I used Garbonzo flour for the Garfava flour (it's a mix of Garbonzo and Fava bean flours anyway) and it worked out great. I mixed up 9 cups of the flour and put it in the (well cleaned out) container that I used to keep my flour in. I feel "whole again." ;)
  • I also used a dairy free margarine.
  • I used wax paper instead of plastic wrap since I could only imagine that going horribly wrong.
  • It took a long time for me to find the sweet rice flour, but I did some searching through these forums and someone suggested Mochiko Sweet Rice Flour and said it could be found at any asian or global foods store. I found it in the first one I went to!
  • When I was rolling out the pastry, I made sure to put sweet rice flour on my rolling pin sock and on the wax paper.
  • If the dough does not form nicely into a ball, add more ice water sprinkling tsp by tsp until it forms a ball.
  • Minimize handling of the dough since you want to keep it cool.
  • I used 1 can of Comstock Cherry Pie filling.
  • I used a non-stick gray pie pan since I was told those do better then the typical glass ones for gluten free crusts.
  • I put tin foil loosely around the edges to cover the crust for the entire time the pie was baking and the crust turned out perfect.
  • PIE CRUST CINNAMON ROLLS! There will most likely be leftover dough. I ate some of it, just to see what it tasted like. Then ate some more to be sure I liked it of course! Then I rolled out the rest in a rectangle about an 1/8" thick, spread some of the dairy free margarine over the dough and generously sprinkled a sugar and cinnamon mix over the entire rectangle. Starting at the long end, I rolled the dough up into a short roll (It may be crumbly, but it's okay) and rolled the outside in cinnamon and sugar too. Then I cut the roll into 6 cinnamon rolls and placed them in an oven safe container to cook along with the pie. These may finish cooking earlier so keep an eye on them.

I hope everyone enjoys this recipe! I'd love to hear how it turns out for you and your own modifications!

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time

      Do you believe your swallowing is a manifestation of your neuropathy? I'm thinking if you are having trouble getting food down you need to focus on consuming things that have a high nutritional density so that whatever you are able to get down counts for something. Have you looked at Boost and other high protein/high calorie shake products?  They are fortified with vitamins and minerals as well. Do you have any trouble with aspiration of liquids? For celiac testing purposes, the guidelines are calling for daily consumption of about 10gm of gluten - the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread - in order to ensure valid testing. That sounds like it would be a challenger for you.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.
