Vegan Pie Crust
(From Vegan Fusion Cuisine 10 day Chef course taught & written by Chef Mark Reinfeld)
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups spelt flour or rice flour
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/2 cup Earth Balance, or vegan shortening
- 4-7 Tbsp cold water, or unsweetened soy milk
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and whisk well. Add Earth Balance and mix well. Slowly add water and mix well. Form into a ball. Dough should be moist but not wet, and flaky but not dry. Roll out with a baking pin on a clean dry surface or place between two sheets of parchment paper to roll out. Press into the bottom of a 10” spring form pan or pie pan. Prick the bottom several times with a fork to allow air to come through and prevent the crust from buckling. Bake for 10 minutes.
