Vegan butter caution: Just made the dough according to the instructions but with plant based butter but have to make again with real butter. . Measured everything carefully but even with the second cup of flour there was no crumbliness and water and vinegar pretty much just sloshed around. Will try baking the result as a test in a couple of hours but am not optimistic. I’m sure it will be delicious made with dairy butter.

No. It’s a food processor recipe. There are lots of recipes for making pie dough by hand but this is not one of them.

I couldn’t find any instructions for making it without the food processor. Did I miss something?

In reply to Carolyn. Hi Carolyn, We haven't tried using a gluten-free blend for this crust, so we can't say for sure. I'd recommend looking for a pie crust recipe that specifically calls for gluten-free flour. If you're open to a nontraditional crust, we love the pecan crust from this pumpkin pie recipe!

In reply to Carolyn. Jeanine, my niece isn't able to consume any gluten. Could King Arthur's glute-free all-purpose flour successfully be used to make this crust?

In reply to Carolyn. I made this last night and it’s chilling in the fridge. Looks and feels like it’s super tough/stiff, is it normal?

In reply to Traci Daley. Hi Traci, I blind baked this crust for a pumpkin pie last weekend, and it worked nicely! Because most pumpkin pies bake at a relatively low temperature, 350F or so, the crust shouldn't brown too much. I would recommend baking the pumpkin pie with a pie rim or foil over the edges if you really want to manage browning - it will help! Have a great Thanksgiving.

I like the idea of blind baking for my pumpkin pie, but won’t my edges risk getting overdone with the time required to bake the pie filling? I know I can use a pie rim to cover the edges but I’m not sure that will be enough to prevent over- browning.
