Tart Crust (Graham Crust Substitute)


My biggest gluten free demands was to have a great pie crust. This is a fabulous substitute for a Grahm cracker pie crust. It is like a crisp cookie shell.  If you want the graham cracker taste, you can add some graham extract to give it that extra oomph.

Tart Crust


1/4 c sugar
1 t xanthan gum
5 T butter
1 t vanilla

Lightly spray a pie pan and dust with brown rice flour mixture. Mix flour, sugar and xanthan gum in a electric mixer. Add butter and vanilla and mix thoroughly. The mixture will be very crumbly. 

Bake in Crust
Bake for 12 minutes. Fill with cheesecake, key lime pie, etc. Bake according to directions for your pie.

Filled Crust
Bake for 18 minutes. Fill with mousse, ice cream, etc. and follow remaining directions.
