No Cholesterol Low Fat Pie Crust Printed From Cookscom Recipes

NO SUGAR, NO FAT, NO CHOLESTEROL PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the first four ingredients in a small bowl.
• Stir pumpkin into skillet & heat slowly.
• Add the egg whites and cheese, stirring until cheese starts to melt. (If the eggs start to cook, remove from heat for a bit.).
• Mix in the Splenda and spice.
• Mix egg replacer well with the water, add.
• Stir whole mixture, pour into crust.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Reduce temperature to 350, bake 15-20 more minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• The cheese is what "binds." Blended with the egg whites, the two substitute beautifully for the not-healthy evaporated milk. (Fat free, nice, but as much sugar as a candy bar.) And you needn't bake at such high temps for so long, because you're not waiting for sugar to melt, egg yolks to cook - and you've already heated your ingredients.

NO CHOLESTEROL - LOW FAT - PIE CRUST PRINTED FROM COOKS.COM

Steps:

• The key to flaky pie crust is to use cold butter and make sure the crust is cold when it goes into the oven. The cold butter creates steam when it hits the hot oven, which creates the flaky texture. Gluten-free crusts get gummy when they get a little warm so be patient and put it back in refrigerator for 10 minutes or so. Don't overmix or overknead your dough. It can get tough. I roll my dough out between two sheets of waxed paper. It works just as well as parchment and, honestly, it's much more price effective. As you roll the dough out, the paper gets wrinkles in it. No big deal - just lift the paper off, put it back down, and start rolling again. To keep the waxed paper from moving all over the counter, I cut it extra long and leave some hanging over the edge of the counter and then lean up against the waxed paper. I might look silly but it works like a charm every time. Don't add too much water to the dough. You want it to stick together just enough. It will look "shaggy." That's the perfect consistency. Preheat the oven well in advance. I let my oven hang out at the desired temperature for 15 or 20 minutes before putting anything in it. There are 3 types of pie crust makers: the 'make it by hand' type, the 'food processor' type, and the 'stand-mixer' type. I fall into the latter category and my recipe is written accordingly. You'll have to figure out what works best for you, however making a gluten-free pie crust by hand just seems torturous to me
