Best Pie Crust Recipe


#1

It’s Pi Day y’all

My SO has requested a pie to celebrate pie day. I’m heading to the grocery store today anyway so I think I’ll deliver.

The internet has a lot of pie crust recipe ideas but I want to know if anyone has one they swear by?

Thinking about making a blueberry pie.

I love Wes! He’s really thorough about his recipes and his showdowns. He hasn’t led me wrong yet.

I really appreciate that he’s not afraid to share his honest opinion. It’s rather humorous when he doesn’t like something. :slight_smile:

The video above has two crust recipes, both similar, made with coconut flour. Neither seem difficult but I haven’t tried them yet.

Kids are coming in a few weeks and I’ve been thinking of making one of these pies.

I made his cornbread stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving and now I just make the cornbread for whenever! I trust his stuff and was one of his earliest subbers.

eta: I order my Sukrin Gold from Netrition. It’s worth it and really tastes like brown sugar without any after taste or cooling effect that I’ve noticed.

I’ve tried no-corn “cornbread” a couple of times now. I tried it with the little baby corn. I’ve tried it with the corn extract. And for some reason, I never really end up with anything that tastes very “corny”. Oh, the muffins were good. But ain’t no way they’d pass for cornbread. I was never a cornbread-with-every-meal kinda guy but I have a pretty good idea of what cornbread tastes like.

Something I haven’t tried is subbing something like a tablespoon or two of real corn flour into one of the recipes just to see if it would add some flavor. The extract gives it a nice cornbread smell, that’s nice. But I want the flavor. Texture works quite well with almond flour since it tends to be a tad more course anyway.

It looks really good, but I can’t digest erythritol it goes straight through me within minutes. i usually use liquid Splenda, so maybe that would work. OliveNation has a brown sugar extract that might be worth a try.

Also, I looked at the recipe on sugar-free mom and it only has 4 carbs per slice, but that’s for 1/12th of a pie. Who eats 1/12 as a serving? Although cut into 6ths or 8ths it still wouldn’t be a bad number of carbs.

Thanks for posting about this I was JUST on the hunt for a good crust! I want to try a keto apple pie using Jicama for Thanksgiving in a few more weeks!
