Whip it up easily, roll it out, and make yourself some pie... Sweet or savory pie!! If making a dessert pie, add tablespoon or two of erythritol or sugar substitute of choice. If making a savory chicken pot pie, forget the sugar but maybe add garlic powder or Italian seasoning. The possibilities are endless and guilt-free! When rolling out crust, use parchment or wax paper. Given the lack of gluten, the crust is more fragile and may break if not handled carefully. Roll it out between two sheets of parchment / wax paper.
