With the holidays nearing, this is a perfect, easy recipe for a delicious pie crust to be used with your favorite filling of choice. For this blog I picked a pumpkin pie, but any gluten free filling will work beautifully.

CRUST



1 cup of white rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons butter, cut into 14 slices
1 large egg
1 tablespoon apple cider
3 tablespoons cold water



Mix the first four ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add butter and with a for or hands blend mixture until it is flaky. Add egg and vinegar, stirring a fork until just blended. Sprinkle with water; blend together with a fork and clean hands until mixture just holds together and forms a ball. Separate in half. Cover one half with plastic wrap; set aside. Place half on a lightly floured (use potato or tapioca flour) piece of wax paper. Top with additional piece of wax paper. Roll out dough with a rolling pin to 1/8 inch thickness. Do away with the top sheet of wax paper and upturn dough into a 9 inch pie plate. Cut overhanging dough. Gather or pinch the edges. Repeat to make another crust or use as the top of the pie crust.

Pumpkin Filing:1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
1 1/2 teas salt
3 teas ground sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 ginger
1/2 cinnamon
4 large eggs
1 can of canned pumpkin
2 cans of evaporated milk

Blend sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and gloves in a bowl. Beat eggs in a larger bowl. Stir in pumpkin and add contents from small bowl. Slowly fold in evaporated mil. Transfer into pie shells. This will make enough for 2 pies.

Bake in a preheated oven at 425 for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Serve cooled or refrigerate.

The Best Gluten Free Brownies


These brownies always get kudos! Enjoy



2/3 cup gluten-free baking mix (can be found now in any grocery story)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup butter, melted


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F , and grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish.
Stir together the gluten-free baking mix, cornstarch, white sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl, sifting with a fork to remove lumps. Pour in the eggs and melted butter, and mix with a large spoon or electric mixer on low until the mixture forms a smooth batter, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
