Perfect Paleo Pie Crust

It can be done! All your favorite desserts in paleo-friendly format. With recipes that are all gluten-free but full of flavor, paleo blogger Lea Valle takes the cake when it comes to sweet treats. Or in this case, the greatest paleo pie crust ever created.

Grain-free pie-crust dough can be harder to work with than standard dough because it lacks the gluten that provides the elasticity needed to roll out and transfer to a pie dish. I find the combination of flours in this recipe, along with very cold fat and one egg, will yield a dough that is fairly easy to roll out and assemble into a delicious and flaky pie crust.
