It was a hit November 19, 2008
I bought this to make a pie for my niece who has celiac sprue. She said it didn't bother her anymore that she couldn't have pie crusts. She just didn't know how good a gluten-free crust could be. I used Fleishmann's Unsalted Margarine, because it is one that doesn't contain dairy (which I can't have). It is a lot flakier and seems to fall apart easier than regular pie crusts I've made, but I just assume that's because I used margarine instead of butter. (Calls for unsalted butter and butter-flavored vegetable shortening)
The only complaint I have is that it makes four 8" crusts. I usually make 10" pies, so I have to alter how I divide the dough.
 Great gf pie crust July 17, 2008

We're long-time pie-lovers around here, and I thought we'd have to give up pies forever since we can no longer have gluten. WRONG-O! This mix makes wonderful flaky pie crust. We use Spectrum Organic Shortening in place of the butter, so it's casein-free. The dough has a different consistency than wheat flour crust and so requires slightly different handling when rolling it out and getting it into the pie plate, but not a big deal. It smells wonderful when baking, it browns nicely, and it's flaky and delicious. Even gluten-eaters (both children and adults) gobble it up and ask for more. A winner!

This makes an excellent, flaky crust for a deep dish pie. Good flavor. Even my fussy "civilian" husband enjoys pies made with this crust.

I'm not thrilled with the recipe for making this crust -- I think of a "mix" as something I need to add only a few ingredients to, but this requires as many extra ingredients as making crust from scratch, and demands a lot of fat. I could have done that using gf flour and saved myself a lot of money.
Flaky pie crust January 9, 2007

Learning to bake without gluten is a new process for me. I thought that working with the dough seemed more like making a cookie dough than rolling out a pie crust. Without gluten it lacks the elasticity that I am used to. Once I got the knack of working with the dough and doing some patching I was very pleased with the results. The flavor and appearance of the pie were not distinguishable from a crust made with wheat flour. In fact, the crust was flaky and even better than many pie crusts that I have eaten.
