HEALTHY PIE CRUST
Learn how to make an easy and healthy pie crust that uses no oil or butter. This naturally vegan and oil-free pie crust is really easy to handle. It won't melt when you're working with it and won't shrink when you bake it. Use it to make sweet or savoury pies with cooked or no-cook fillings, tarts, quiches and galettes.

Steps:
- To a bowl, add the almond flour, all purpose flour and salt. Whisk them together to combine.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring as you go. You might not need it all. You might need a tiny bit more. It varies a little everytime. Once it starts looking clumpy, get a clean hand in there and feel it. You need to use just enough milk so the dough holds its shape when you squeeze it together in your hand, feels supple and will be easily rollable. Bring the dough together into a ball.
- At this stage you can either roll out the pastry with a rolling pin or just press it into your dish or pan with your hands. Unlike regular pastry dough, because there is no solid fat in this recipe, it doesn't matter if you handle it a lot.
- If rolling it out, transfer to a clean, well-floured surface. If you have a silicone baking mat they work really well for rolling pastry dough out on.
- Roll it out to 2 or 3 inches larger than your pie/quiche/tart dish. Sprinkle with flour as needed to stop any sticking.
- Lift carefully by partially rolling the rolled out pastry around the rolling pin, and gently lower into the dish. Press into the dish gently then trim around the edges with a sharp knife or crimp if you are lining a pie dish.
- Prick all over the bottom of the crust with a fork
