Paleo Egg-free Nut-free Pie Crust
It's difficult enough coming up with a gluten-free pie crust. Finding one that is acceptable to those with other dietary restrictions such as allergies to nuts, since flour made from nuts is the typical gluten-free substitute for flour from grains. But here's a recipe that does a respectable job utilizing ground flax seed.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup golden flax seed
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup coconut flakes unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp honey raw
- 1/4 cup lard (subs coconut oil)
- 2 tbsp lard for greasing the pan (subs coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup water plus up to 4 tbsp more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300F (150C).
- In a spice grinder or food processor, grind the golden flax seeds to a powder.
- Add the ⅓ cup water to a small bowl and whisk in the ground flax seeds with a fork. Set aside.
- Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to a food chopper or food processor and process for a minute or so. When it is ready, the coconut flakes will look almost like breadcrumbs. Stop processing when you see coconut butter start to form on the sides of the bowl.
- Add the coconut flour and pulse until combined.
- Lastly, add the raw honey and lard. Pulse until combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and add the flax seed & water gel (the flax egg) to the bowl.
- Run with the paddle attachment on 2, drizzling in the coconut oil and 6 tablespoons of water. As needed, continue to add up to another 4 tablespoons of water, until you can squeeze the dough together in your fist and it holds its shape without crumbling.
- Grease your pie pan with lard (or coconut oil) and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Pat the pie crust dough into the dish, pressing out from the middle evenly with your hands. Gently push the crust up the sides of the pie dish with your fingers. (This dough will not roll. You must use this procedure.)
- Use a fork to prick holes all over the pie crust dough.
- Bake until the edges are beginning to turn golden brown and beginning to pull away from the sides of the pie dish, about 25 minutes.
- Allow to cool before filling.
