Instructions
- Mix all the dry ingredients - the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium powder, glucomannan powder and salt (Recipe 1).
- Add the butter cut in pieces.
- Using your hands, combine the dry ingredients with the butter.
- Add water and mix until well combined.
- Place the dough in a plastic wrap and flatten using your hands.
- Place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F.
- Method 1: rolling.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out (I used a nonstick silicone rolling pin) till the dough is about the size of a pie pan - I used a non-stick pan with a removable bottom.
- Because there are no eggs in this recipe, the dough will be very fragile so you'll have to be careful not to tear it apart.
- Method 2: press down.
- Alternatively, place the dough directly into a non-stick pan with a removable bottom and press up the sides using your fingers to create a "bowl" shape.
- Use a dough roller or wet your hands if needed.
- Ideally, use a baking sheet as lining for the bottom to ensure that the crust doesn't get stuck to it.
- Place baking paper on top and use ceramic baking beans to weight the dough down.
- You will need them to prevent the dough from rising and creating air bubbles, especially if you are making a large pie.
- Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- When done, remove from the oven.
- Remove the baking paper with the ceramic beans.
- If the center of the pie seems too moist, place back in the preheated oven (switched off) just to dry out.
- Fill with your favourite filling (keto lemon curd, whipped cream, or any savoury filling like pork and eggs or chicken).
- If not using straight away, let the pie crust cool down.
- Once chilled, store in an airtight container and keep at room temperature.
