Notes
Hi,
Can I use coconut oil as a substitute for the non dairy butter? And if so, is it the same measurement?
Shyanne yes you can, make sure your coconut oil is thick and not runny, if it is runny then you can place it in the refrigerator for about 25 minutes. Start with about 6 tablespoons.
Have you tried freezing this crust? I am making meals ahead of time to bake later, after my next baby is born, so wondering if this is even an option. Thanks!
Debbie, I haven’t tried freezing it but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. All the best, praying for a mommy and baby!
I don’t have gluten free flour, will this recipe work with regular unbleached flour?
Yes it will work with regular flour.
Can I wrap this dough and refrigerate it over night?
Yes you can, wrap it in a doubles layer plastic wrap or freezer bag. Allow it to sit out a bit to loosen up after removing it from the refrigerator.
How long would I bake for if it does not need to go back into the oven? Making this for a French silk pie instead of a baked pie.
Kelly then you would bake the crust for extra 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
what kind of non-dairy butter do you use
Teri, I use Earth Balance.
I see you said you used earth balance butter. Are you referring to the sticks or the tub? My store only has the tubs, not sure it’s the same. In sticks, they have Country Crock plant butter (olive oil, almond, or avacado). So it’s between those 3 or the tub of Earth balance. If so, is it the yellow “original” earth balance?
I love the yellow original one in the tub.
Earth balance spread in the tub or sticks?
I only buy the tub but I’m sure the stick will work.
Hi Michelle, I want to make your pie dough recipe, but I need it for a savory recipe. What would you suggest I replace the sugar with to keep it savory? Thank you!
Lauren, the recipe is fine with savory, but you can omit it. I have used it for my pot pie as is.
I am trying your recipe for this pie crust- baking now. The 1/2 cup water amount is too much! I made it too sloppy, even with a scant 1/4 cup. I had to scoop it up and add more flour. Hope it turns out!
Tish, more than likely you used a different flour than the one I used, unfortunately, no two gluten-free all-purpose flours are the same. You did the right thing and that is to add extra flour if it is too wet and if it was too dry add extra liquid. I have made this recipe ton of times and it has never failed me.
Thanks for posting this recipe! Is there a GF flour brand that you recommend?
You are welcome, I used Krusteaz all-purpose gluten-free flour.
Can this be used as tart dough?
Yes it can be used.
Do you have to bake the crust before filling? My pie recipe does not call for using a precooked crust.
It depends on what you are making. Well, it should be fine to add your filling then bake as in the case of a sweet potato pie.
Have you tried using this for hand pies?
I haven’t had the chance but it should be great.
Hey, I am in the mood for baking…looking at your desserts. I have a few I am going to try…As I mentioned in your pizza recipe I am making my own flour mix… something like this
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1/3 cup tapioca flour/starch
2/3 cup potato starch
However I notice the flour you use has Xanthan Gum in it. Will it matter if I don’t add that in my mix?
Hello Phylicea, your blend looks great, I find that if I use 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds (preferably the golden type) plus 1/4 cup water It works perfectly. I only use these storebought blends because of convenience. Hope you enjoy!
Hi! This may seem silly, but can I use regular butter? I’m having trouble finding gluten free crust recipes that aren’t also vegan or dairy-free!
There are no ingredients or instructions for this recipe.
Thanks for catching that,
My power is out and I am working from my phone so I must have accidentally published it.
Can you sub Maple Syrup for cane sugar?
Karen, yes you can.
