If you love to bake and want to make your own pies this year, here’s the recipe you need!
there are so many recipes out there. Most have amazing pictures and the recipes just don’t measure up.
I know I’ve been sucked into a pretty picture or 2 just to have a total recipe fail on my hands.
It’s because we trust that bloggers will only share a 100% vetted recipe. But they don’t. They want to get your attention and clicks and SEO rating (notice that you have to scroll for MINUTES to actually GET to a recipe???)
Well I hate that and I won’t make you do it.
here’s my pumpkin pie recipe. It’s based on my grandma Lucy’s recipe. Which is probably based on the Libby’s pumpkin can recipe. lol. All I know is, it means childhood to me.
And pies aren’t complete without whipped cream. Here’s my method and super easy recipe. Be sure to chill that can of coconut cream as long as you can. Seriously a week is best!
Celine's Perfect Pie Crust
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Karma Baker Organic Gluten Free Flour (or your own GF flour blend) -results will definitely vary tho
- 6 TBL Organic Palm Shortening
- 1 1/2 TBL Organic Vegan Butter
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
- 3-5 TBL Ice Water
Instructions
- Ice Water
- Chop the vegan butter into small cubes and freeze about 20 minutes.Measure out palm shortening and also store in the freezer until ready to use. Measure out your dry ingredients. And prepare a glass of ice water to measure out of as needed.
- Using a food processor, pulse the dry ingredients with the fats for 10 seconds at a time, until it resembles wet sand. Add the ice water 1 TBL at a time and pulse until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix. You may not need all of the water. It depends on the weather. Dryer days need more water. Humid days... less.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Roll out as you like. A little tapioca starch on the rolling pin is always helpful. Enjoy! Please leave feedback and comments with your results! In Good Karma, Celine
