“Tastes just like a traditional pie crust without the gluten. Celiac friendly! Use in recipes that call for a graham cracker crust or shortbread crust. Perfect for any tropical pies.” - by XCVIII

Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch pie crust

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place the macadamia nuts into the container of a food processor, and blend until they reach a peanut butter like consistency. Scrape out into a bowl, and stir in the eggs and soy flour until well blended.
Place the dough between two pieces of waxed paper, and roll out into about a 12 inch circle. Remove the top piece of waxed paper, and invert the dough into a 9 inch pie plate. Press into the bottom and up the sides. Remove any overhanging dough.
Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light golden brown. Use in any recipe calling for a prebaked pie crust.

"Thank you Crystal!! This recipe is amazing! It's easy and quick to prepare and it tastes great. On top of that, the texture is light and the pie crust holds it's form beautifully - so no crumblin..." See moreg and falling apart. I used it for a pumpkin pie I made last night and fed to my friends for a thanksgiving feast and they LOVED it! (None of them are gluten intolerant or coeliac, by the way). Thanks Again :)"

"Soy flour gives this recipe a horrible aftertaste. The texture was great, but it tasted very strongly of soy...." See more"

"Thank you Crystal for this wonderful gluten free pie crust. I made a pumpkin pie with this recipe for Thanksgiving and my boyfriend who is gluten intolerant was very impressed... he doesn't get to eat..." See more pie very often. Even those that aren't gluten intolerant enjoyed this nutty pie crust and it was so easy to make!"
