Good Gluten Free Pie Crusts?

My grammy is having a birthday party and I know my daughter won't be able to have any of the desserts that my cousin is baking. So, I want to make something that she can eat. My daughter loves pies - is there a pie crust recipe or a store bought one that anyone would recommend? It needs to be soy/dairy/gluten free. I was at Whole Foods this morning and saw two frozen ones - one from Gillian's Foods and the other was the Whole Foods brand. Does anyone have any recommendations? While I'm at it...if you have any good pie recipes that are gluten/soy/dairy free, I'll take those, too! Thanks so much!

The Gluten Free Pantry Pie Crust Mix is very good--as good if not better than regular pie crust. The mix contains no soy or dairy, you add your own eggs, shortening or oil and I think sugar.

There is a pie crust receipe in The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods and one in The Gluten Free Kitchen--both work fine. I use lard in place of shortening because Crisco has Soy & Corn and the Palm alternative bothers me. It adds no flavor and is incredibly flaky.

Pies: apple, pumpkin, pecan. You can also make a cobbler or apple crisp.

I guess I'll be buying the Gluten Free Pantry pie crust mix - now she just has to make a decision about what kind of pie she wants - she's leaning towards banana cream - I've already checked the ingredients and can make it gluten free. It'll be our first venture into gluten free baking and we're very excited! She and I did a lot of baking pre-gluten free and we miss it (she's been on the diet for less than a week so far). Do I need to order it online? I do have a Trader Joes and a Whole Foods fairly nearby - do they carry it? Thanks!

I find mine at the local grocery store - no special trip needed. It is SOOOOOO good. My mom and I were saying we could just eat the crust, forget the filler. If you make Lemon Meringue save me a piece :P

I've had the Gluten Free Pantry truffle brownies too -- yummmmmy!

I'm going to throw in my vote for gluten free pantry pie crust mix. I love that stuff. Don't expect it to behave exactly like flour crust, it's kinda difficult to roll out and make look beautiful, but it tastes SO yummy. My favorite pies are butterscotch and lemon (not made with pudding please, homemade ONLY)

I'm sure that one of those stores would have the mix. Or I would think they would. You can also order it online, we order it in bulk and store in the freezer. If you like it, I would suggest doing that, it saves you some money :) Enjoy your pie!! ' Open Original Shared Link free.com/

Well, if I wasn't convinced before to go with Gluten Free Pantry, I certainly am now! I didn't know you could store it in the freezer - what a good idea! We did so much baking pre-Celiac - I'd like to think that we can continue doing so. I'll let you all know how it turned out. Thank you so much!

Chicken Pot Pie Crust

This is a nice and easy recipe for a pie crust that you can use to top your own favourite chicken pot pie recipe. It rolls out very nicely.

Preheat oven to 435 degrees F.

Flour Mixture: 1 cup white rice flour, 1 cup tapioca flour, 1 cup cornstarch, and 1 Tblsp. potato flour.

2 1/4 cup gluten-free flour mixture (from above)

2 sticks of very cold butter

1/2 cup very cold water

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine flour mixture, baking powder and salt. Sift to combine. Add 1 stick of butter cut into small pieces to a food processor and mix on low until crumbly (it should look like small peas).

Add 1 stick of butter (cubed) to the ice water; add to dry mixture and blend with a food processor until blended until it begins to form a ball. Roll into ball or divide into two parts if you are making two crusts.

On a gluten-free floured surface roll out each ball into the desired size and/or shape. You can also roll it onto a piece of parchment paper which makes it easier to transfer onto the already prepared pot pie. Roll this very thin to approximately 1/4" thickness.

Bake until the filling is hot and the crust is golden brown.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug?

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
