Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 1 cup almond flour provides a nutty flavor and tender texture
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour adds fiber and absorbs moisture
  • 3 tablespoons low-carb sweetener for sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum helps bind the crust
  • 7 tablespoons salted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 egg acts as a binder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract adds flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pastry Cutter or Fork
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pie Dish
  • Plastic Wrap

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dough - In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, low-carb sweetener, and xanthan gum. Whisk together until blended.
  2. Step 2: Cut in the Butter - Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients - In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix in the vanilla extract. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together.
  4. Step 4: Form the Dough - Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead gently until it forms a ball. Add cold water if too crumbly.
  5. Step 5: Chill the Dough - Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Roll Out the Dough - Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick and transfer it to your pie dish.
  7. Step 7: Pre-Bake the Crust (if necessary) - Prick the bottom with a fork and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is cold for a flaky texture.
  • Keep dough chilled to prevent sticking.
  • Store any leftover crust wrapped in plastic for up to 3 days.
