About a decade ago, a member of the Pamela’s team reached out to tell me that their easy gluten-free dairy-free pie crust recipe would work perfectly with my beloved dairy-free soy-free pumpkin pie recipe. It’s received rave reviews, so who am I to argue? Plus, it’s a quick recipe that uses just 4 ingredients – and you know how I love simple recipes!

Author: Pamela's Products
Serves: 1 9-inch pie crusts
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix (do not use the yeast packet)
- ¼ cup dairy-free buttery sticks (like Melt Organic or Earth Balance Soy-Free)
- ¼ cup shortening (can use a non-hydrogenated, RSPO-certified, organic palm shortening like Spectrum or Nutiva)*
- ¼ cup ice water, plus additional if needed
Instructions
- Pour the bread mix into a bowl or food processor. Cut the buttery sticks and shortening into flour mixture using two knives, a pastry blender, or by pulsing your food processor until pea-sized pieces form.
- Slowly add the ice water until the dough comes together, and is not sticky. Add 1 teaspoon additional water if too dry.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment or wax paper. Peel the top paper off the dough and invert into a pie dish. Peel off the second sheet of paper. Gently press the dough into the pie dish and crimp the edges.
- Bake as indicated in your pie recipe, or bake unfilled in a 350°F oven on bottom rack for 28 to 30 minutes if you need a pre-baked crust.
Notes
*If preferred, you can swap more buttery sticks for the shortening or use ¼ cup more buttery sticks and ¼ cup oil in place of the shortening.
