Gluten Free Pecan Pie Filling Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE PECAN PIE

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse together 1/4 cup of the pecans, the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Add the 1/2 cup chilled butter pieces and pulse until coarse crumbs form, about 5 seconds. Drizzle in the ice water and pulse to combine. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and cut the excess dough to leave a 1/2-inch overhang. Using your fingers, roll the dough edge under and crimp. Prick the bottom of the pie shell with a fork; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line the shell with foil and pie weights or dried beans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights, reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake for another 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, whisk together the remaining 5 tablespoons butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt with the coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla over medium heat until melted and smooth. Cool the mixture slightly, about 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisking constantly, add the sugar mixture into the beaten eggs. Stir in the remaining 2 1/2 cups pecans. Pour the filling into the crust and bake until set, about 25 minutes.
• Cool the pie completely before slicing.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.
