GLUTEN-FREE PIE CRUST
I have tried a lot of recipes trying to find one that compared with the traditional wheat crust that I have been missing. After throwing away many batches, I finally came up with this one and my family loves it. They said they couldn't tell the difference (I am not sure I believe that) but it sure did satisfy my cravings. Hope you like it too.

Tips:
- Using a food processor or high-powered blender is the easiest way to make amaranth flour. Just add the amaranth seeds and blend until they are a fine powder.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also grind the amaranth seeds in a coffee grinder. Just be sure to grind them in small batches, otherwise the coffee grinder may overheat.
- Amaranth flour can be stored in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 3 months.
- When making the pie crust, be sure to use cold butter. Cold butter will help to keep the crust flaky.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of water. If the dough is too wet, add a little bit more amaranth flour.
- The pie crust can be baked immediately, or it can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To blind bake the pie crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Once the pie crust is baked, it can be filled with your favorite pie filling. Some popular fillings include apple, cherry, pumpkin, and pecan.
Conclusion:
Amaranth pie crust is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pie crust. It is gluten-free, grain-free, and low in carbohydrates.
