Pie Crust Ingredients |
With all this trekking around, I’m getting really hungry! The holiday season brings delicious desserts, but if you remove the wheat flour, sugar, milk, and nuts from traditional pies, you don’t have much left! Happily, there is an alternative. Here is a wheat-free, no-sugar pie crust that can be whipped up in minutes.
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 c. sifted rice/oat flour, 1/2 t. salt, and 1 T. canola oil. Stir in 2-4 T. water til the dough is wet and spreadable, but not runny.

Where do you get rice/oat flour?
We actually order 25# bulk bags of rice and oat groats from our local food co-op. Then we mix the grains half-and-half and grind them in a hand grinder.
What kind of grinder is it? Any pictures? :)
You should open up your own restaurant.
We use a hand-turned grinder with grindstones, to which we've attached an electric motor. I'll try to post some pictures later on.:)
That's amazing, you don't even have to use any butter or margerine?
Actually, I used to always use butter in the crust, but then found that oil helps bind the flour into a better pastry dough. The other real key to the crust is sifting the flour so it's almost as fine as white flour.
