Paleo Pie Crust
(from greenfood’s recipe box)
Source: The Paleo Mom
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves 1 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups Otto’s cassava flour
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup cold lard or unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 5 to 6 tablespoons ice cold water
Directions
-
Mix the cassava flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the lard, then use a whisk or two knives to cut the lard into the cassava flour until the mixture resembles dry oatmeal; the largest pieces of lard should be no bigger than peas. (You can also use a food processor to do this job quickly, pulsing until the mixture resembles rolled oats.)
-
Add the apple cider vinegar and then the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and work it into the dough. Stop as soon as the dough easily holds together. (In some climates, you may need an extra 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.)
-
Roll out immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge until needed (will keep for at least a week).
-
Use as you would for any recipe that calls for pie crust!
