Almond Crust
4 cups almond flour
1 cup walnut flour
1.2 teaspoon salt
½ cup Ghee measured solid
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons ice water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F when it is time to bake
Spray a 9 inch pie plate with non stick spray
Line 18 x 13 baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake the pie on the baking sheet.
Combine almond flour, walnut flour, salt, ghee, almond extract, in a food processor or bowl to combine. Pulse the ingredients in the food processor adding iced water slowly until the ingredients form desired consistency. If you are using a mixing bowl, turn the beater on low speed. Add one tablespoon of ice water to the ingredients at a time until the dough resembles desired consistency.
Divide the dough into 2 rounds then wrap the dough in plastic wrap to refrigerate for one hour until thoroughly chilled.
Roll out one of the dough rounds to 10 inches in diameter to ⅛ inch thick on a floured surface using a floured rolling pin on a non-stick silicone baking mat to help prevent the dough from sticking to the roller.
Line the pie shell with the almond walnut crust crimping the edges of the pie using the handle of a wooden spoon to form a decorative edge. Embellish the edge of any pie using small cookie cutters for a festive flare. R&M International Mini Autumn Leaf cookie cutters makes any dessert festive perfect for any occasion including a set of 6 themed tin plated miniatures shaped cookie cutters including acorn, oak leaf, pumpkin, maple leaf, maple leaf, Aspen leaf, apple in approximately 1.5’ to 1.75” in size.
In a small bowl combine 1 egg white with a splash of chilled milk
Brush the rim of the pie crust with the egg white mixture. Brushing egg white on the surface of the dough serves a few culinary purposes giving the pie crust a beautiful glossy finish making it look more appealing. The egg white helps the pie crust brown more eventually resulting in a golden brown color. It can create a seal on the pie crust preventing sogginess from the filling keeping the edges crisp.
