How To Make gingerbread pie crust

  • Step 1
    In a food processor, add all dry ingredients and diced butter. Pulse until crumbly.
  • Step 2
    While processing, add vanilla, molasses, and water.
  • Step 3
    When creamy, stop.
  • Step 4
    On a piece of wax paper, floured, dump out your mixture and form into a rectangle. Sprinkle more flour and fold paper over. Freeze for an hour or more.
  • Step 5
    When ready to use, take a little over half of dough and roll into pie shape.
  • Step 6
    Take rest and make lattices or use a cookie cutter and cut nice shapes like pumpkins or leaves.
  • Step 7
    Place back in freezer while you make filling.
  • Step 8
    Fill and bake as usual. You may care to use a pie ring or tin foil to keep top from browning. Try this with my other recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/pie/rum-pumpkin-pie-and-molasses-cheesecake-swirl.html Enjoy!
