A delicious and flaky gluten-free crust that can easily be made casein free with a butter substitute that I used in the recipe! It's delicious and not too sweet.
Yield: 8-9 servings
I used a box of
The Gluten Free Pantry's Perfect Pie Crust Mix
16 oz bag of frozen blueberries
oz vegan shortening (I prefer Earth Balance)
stick of butter (can be substituted with vegan shortening/butter)
For the filling, I simply mixed all the ingredients in a large bowl. I used frozen blueberries in this pie; to defrost them I put them in a bowl and soaked them in warm water for about a minute. I left about ⅛–¼ cup water in the bowl of defrosted blueberries, then I used it as a base to make a jelly type sauce for the blueberry filling (adding a few tbsps of rice flour to thicken it).
As far as the mix goes, I didn't add the 10 oz of butter and shortening. Instead, I added 8 oz of butter, 8 oz of vegan shortening and 1 TBSP canola oil . I even added a bit more sugar and a few sprinkles of cinnamon in the dough for flavor, I think next time I might add some grated lemon peel…this mix is nice because you can be creative with it!
