Gluten Free Macadamia Pie Crust Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oven to 400 F. Have an 8-inch pie pan at the ready.
• In a medium bowl, cut the shortening or butter into the gluten-free flour until crumbly.
• Add the cold water and use your hands to work the dough until soft. The mixture will be crumbly at first but will slowly come together. Do not overmix.
• Form the dough into a single ball.
• Place the dough in an 8-inch pie pan and press it into the bottom and sides. You can use the back of a spoon, a fork, or even your fingers. Alternatively, you can roll out the dough , line the pan with the rolled-out dough and crimp the edges.
• Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust a few times. This allows steam to escape as needed and helps to ensure that your pie will bake evenly and smoothly.
• Place your prepared pie crust in the heated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the pie crust are golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before adding pie filling.

MACADAMIA NUT CRUST

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the nuts, panko, sugar, flour, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir to combine.
• Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 or 10-inch cake, pie, or springform pan as a crust for a cheesecake or cream pie. Bake according to instructions for cheesecake or pie. If baking for a precooked pie filling, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place on the center rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
