Basic Pie Crust

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons freshly ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup filtered water
  • 1/2 cup pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, or pumpkin seeds
  • 6 dates, chopped in half (a few more dates can be used successfully if your blood sugar can tolerate it)
  • 1/2 cup teff flour
  • tiny pinch salt

Makes a thin 9-inch pie crust

  1. Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate with coconut oil.  Alternatively, cut a circular piece of parchment paper to place on the bottom of the pie plate, while still ensuring to grease the sides of the plate with coconut oil.
  2. Mix the ground flax seeds with the filtered water and set aside.
  3. Place nuts or seeds in a food processor with the dates, teff flour, and salt.
  4. Blend mixture well.
  5. Add the flax and water to the food processor.
  6. Blend until the mixture starts to ball into a dough, making sure ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  7. Transfer dough into prepped 9-inch pie plate.  Using your fingers, press the dough into the plate, making sure to evenly distribute throughout the plate.
  8. Add desired pie filling.
  9. Bake according to pie filling directions.
