    Source of Recipe


    Tom Van Deman

    Recipe Introduction


    One of my readers, Nancy Hynes, sent me this recipe from Texas.

    makes two crusts


    List of Ingredients




    3 cups brown rice flour

    1/2 to 1 tsp salt

    1 1/4 cups melted butter or any cold-pressed oil

    1 lrg egg, beaten

    1 Tbs. vinegar

    4 Tbs. water

    Recipe



    1. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.

    2. Make a well in center of the dry ingredients and place egg and liquid ingredients into that well.

    3. Blend ingredients briskly with fork.

    4. When the ingredients are well moistened, knead well with hands.

    5. Divide in half.

    6. Place one half into pie pan and press evenly into place with hands, pressing up a bit higher than edge of pan.

    7. Pinch dough along edge of pan into a decorative edge.

    8. Bake crust at 425 degrees F for 10 - 12 minutes, if preferred

    9. If baking pie crust before pouring in filling, pierce crust with fork about 10 times in various areas to prevent
    splitting or shrinking while baking.

    10. Second half of the dough can be used for another open-face pie or quiche crust or for lattice or traditional pie
    top.

    11. Otherwise, fill pie and bake according to filling directions.



    NOTE:

    Experiment with alternative flours such as millet, oat, white rice, tapioca, and others, using the same ratio of ingredients. Oat flour takes a bit more liquid to create pliable dough. Feel free to remove vinegar and use 5 tablespoons water. The vinegar is thought to make the crust more tender. Add a bit of preferred sweeter if desired if water is used for all liquid.
    Almond or other nut meal can be added in place of up to cup of flour, and is a delicious touch.
