In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
- Sift together:
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cup white rice flour
¼ cup garfava bean flour - Add:
¾ cup +2 tablespoons gluten-free margarine - Cut margarine into flour mixture with a pastry blender until well blended.
- Add:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar - Gradually add while mixing enough cold water to form a ball.
- Flour (rice) a board or wax paper well.
- Divide dough in half, form two balls Flour top of one ball and roll out dough (Keep dusting top with flour as you roll out).
- For Pop Tarts use rectangular cookie cutter approx. size of pop tart (We have a gingerbread house roof cutter thats just the right size). Cut two pieces.
- Apply 2 tablespoons gluten-free pie filling or 100% fruit spread to one piece.
- Place 2nd piece on top and seal the edges by running a moistened finger around edge and lightly crimping.
- Prick the top with a fork.
- Bake at 350F on Cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes or until done.
- When cool drizzle with 10x sugar or GFCF icing.
- Same dough can be used for pie crust and top in normal fashion. Top dough should roll up on rolling pin fairly easily without cracking! Bake them and freeze with wax paper between then toast in toaster to serve.

20 Nov 2007 4:50:31 PM PDT Excellent gluten-free pie crust recipe. this is the only recipe that I have found that doesn't crumble after baking. I did have a little trouble rolling it, but I'm not too good at that anyway.
