Atop each of Jules Shepard’s free weekly recipe newsletters is her mantra: “Perfecting Gluten-Free Baking, Together.” From her easy-to-read cookbook (“Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten Free Eating”) to her highly rated reference for making the transition to living gluten free easier (“The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten Free”), Jules is tireless in the kitchen, at the keyboard and in person in helping people eating gluten free do it with ease, with style and with no compromises.
In the kitchen, she creates recipes for beautiful, tasty gluten-free foods that most people could never tell are gluten free. As a writer, she produces a steady stream of baking tips, living advice, encouragement and insights through magazine articles, her web site (JulesGlutenFree.com), newsletter, e-books and on sites like http://celiac.com and others. Jules also maintains a busy schedule of speaking at celiac and gluten-free gatherings, appearing on TV and radio shows, baking industry conventions, as well as teaching classes on the ease and freedom of baking at home.
Her patent-pending all-purpose flour literally has changed lives for families who thought going gluten free meant going without. Thousands read her weekly newsletter, follow her on Twitter and interact with her on FaceBook. Her third book, "Free for All Cooking," will be available November, 2010.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cup Jules Gluten FreeTM all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp gluten-free vanilla extract
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbs milk, dairy or non-dairy (vanilla coconut, soy, almond or rice milk)
Directions:
Whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle of the mixture, and pour in the vanilla, oil and milk. Using a fork, stir the liquids into the dry ingredients, forming a crumbly mixture that is wet enough to stick together if you squeeze in your hand. If the mixture is too dry, add milk one teaspoon at a time.
Pour crust mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, working from the center out.
Pie Filling recipe
Ingredients:3 eggs
¼ cup Jules Gluten FreeTM All Purpose Flour
¼ tsp sea salt
1 cup corn syrup (dark is pictured here, but may use light) or brown rice syrup
¼ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup brown sugar
1/3 cup melted butter or Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks (non-dairy)
1 ¼ cup pecan halves
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F.
If using a traditional pie crust or the press-in crust, prepare in the pie pan and begin making the filling as follows. If not using a pie crust, oil the pie plate well and continue with filling instructions below.
Beat the eggs, syrups and melted butter until well-mixed. Add in the flour and salt, mixing until thoroughly incorporated and quite thick.
Lay the pecan halves on the bottom of the pie plate (on top of crust, if using) so that they cover the entire bottom of the plate. Gently pour the syrup mixture on top, which causes the pecans to rise through the syrup and be spread throughout the pie.
Bake at 400F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 F and bake a further 35 minutes. The pie should be set and not very jiggly at this point. Remove to cool before cutting and serving.
Serve with ice cream or non-dairy topping, or plain.
Serves 8.

Loved the pie... thought I'd never be able to have pecan pie again after my diagnosis...now I know differently!

I attempted this pie last night and saw that the brown sugar was left out of the directions (I added it to the step with the syrups, eggs, and butter) and the filling never became "quite thick" as it states. Also, I followed the recipe exactly and the center of the pie was not even close to being done by the time was up. I left it in there a little longer but it never quite solidified :( When I went to go cut it today, I was very disappointed as the pie was not done! Needless to say it's back in the oven, and I'm trying to salvage it. I'll have to think of another way to make it successful for next time!
