Sweet Dough (for open faced pies and tarts)

Source: Still Going Against the Grain/Potts (adapted)

 

1/2 cup rice flour

1/2 cup bean flour

pinch of salt

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. Xanthan gum

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cup applesauce

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

 

Combine dry ingredients. Add shortening and blend until crumbly.

Dissolve soda in applesauce and add to dry ingredients. Add more

applesauce if dough is too stiff. Roll out on floured board and cut

into strips. Place on top of an open-faced pie. This is a cookie-

like crust and is best on a slightly tart pie.

 

If you have any dough left, try cutting it into doughnut shapes and

twisting the doughnut before baking briefly in a medium oven.
