The Perfect Gluten Free Pecan Pie Crust

Ingredients:

• 1-2/3 cups ground pecans
• 2/3 cup Carla's Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon* (optional)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt**
• 8 tablespoons cold butter

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, pecans, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 350?F.
5. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and press it into just the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish, not up the sides. If you own a Pastry Roller, use it to even out the dough.
6. Bake for 15 minutes on the center shelf of the preheated oven. Ovens vary greatly and this crust must be watched carefully as nuts can taste burnt long before they darken.
7. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool prior to filling.
8. Fill with your desired no-bake filling or custard filling that requires baking.
