GF Pie Crust!!


With Canadian Thanksgiving just over, I thought I'd share some of the recipes that I used to make our holiday meal complete!!  And of course you need pie!  Not only is this gf crust delicious, you can roll it out!!  Roll it out!!  Here I made a raspberry pie but I will just share the crust recipe and you can fill it as you wish!  Enjoy!

1 lbs lard
4 1/2 c of gf flour (this time I used Jules GF flour from her!! but you can also use the previous recipe that I give for a flour mix, it works well too)
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

Sift the dry ingredients over the lard and then using a pastry cutter (or a knife) cut into the lard.

Break 1 egg into a measuring cup and add 1 tbs of vinegar, then fill with water until the 3/4c mark is reached.  Add to the flour/lard mixture.  Kneed together.  Roll out, using some gf flour to dust counter and rolling pin.  This recipe should make 4 shells, or two pies with toppers.  Bake according to pie direction or for empty shell bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
