MIL made us a gluten-free pie today from the pie crust recipe in The Gluten-Free Gourmet (Comfort Foods) by Bette Hagman and it was amazing!!! The crust is flaky and SO yummy!!! Even picky DS liked it and said it was better than "normal" apple pie! He wants a pumpkin pie next! LOL!

So, if you are looking for a good pie crust, this one rocks!! I was very impressed. :)

Sounds yummy, perfect for fall apples. I roll the dough out with mine and let my daughter make shapes out of cookie cutters on the top of the upper pie crust.

Which recipe was it? I have the book and I'd be glad to post it.

Im assuming this is the one :)

Bette hagman's pie crust recipe (featherlight vinegar pastry)

2 1/2 cups featherlight mix

1 rounded teaspoon xantham gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 cup shortening

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/4 cup liquid egg substitue or 1 egg beaten

4 tablespoons ice water

Sweet rice flour for rolling

Blend flour mix, xantham gum, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening until coarse crumbs form. In a small nowl beat the vinegar and egg together.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a fork and keep blending until the dough forms a ball. Work a little with your hands to obtain a smooth texture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more before rolling out.

Divide teh dough in half and roll out on waxed paper dusted with sweet rice flour. Place in a 9 inch pie tin. For a baked single crust, prick the pastry with a fork on sides and bottom. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes enough pastry for a 9 inch 2-crust pie or 2 pastry shells.

Optional- Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg to dry ingredients. Substitute orange juice for the ice water.

Featherlight mix recipe-

rice flour 3 cups

tapioca flour 3 cups

cornstarch 3 cups

potato flour 3 tbsps

Kim- I hope you dont mind I posted it :)

Thanks!!! I don't mind at all! I have been very busy this week, so am just now checking in. That does look like the recipe (MIL still has my book), but I thought it said apple cider vinegar instead of rice, I could be wrong. I know that Bette has this recipe in several of her books, though, so she may have switched it up.

I still am amazed with how awesome this crust is. Even 3 days later it is still awesome!!

Hmm, you know I looked to see if there was a variation for this recipe and couldnt find one in this book (2004 published) but I do remember a pastry recipe that had apple cider vinegar in it. I do have another one of her books and annalise roberts so it could be either one also. The only other one I noticed in here was a cereal recipe, a nut recipe, and a graham cracker recipe. Either way I cant wait to try it :)

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
