When the unordinary turns extraordinary things get real guuud!

Starring Pamela’s Gluten-Free Bread Mix!!  I was amazed at how the texture turned out using a bread mix for this pie crust. It produced a super tender, flaky, and easy to roll pie crust that even grandmamma would be proud of 😉

Take The Reins!

Here are some no-nonsense tips to get you started!

• Try baking your pie in these disposable pie pans. They keep things simple and make shaping the crust SO much easier.
• It’s not a wise tale; make sure that butter is cold!!
• Make this pie dairy-free by subbing whipping cream for coconut cream, and regular sour cream for dairy-free sour cream. Bittersweet Ghirardelli Bars say they may contain dairy. If you want dairy-free assurance, then opt for dairy-free chocolate chips in place of the bittersweet bars.
• Don’t forget to dock your pie crust.
