There is Celiac and withing celiac you have people who can not have even the tiniest bit of gluten even from cross contamination. Then you have those like my husband and his father but do not get physically sick (so if they cheat nothing happens right away) but they have bad damage to their intestines and they both have general gastric problems. Then you have Gluten intolerance/sensitivity and that too ranges for how much it effects that person. These are the things that natural contain gluten Wheat Barley Rye Oats do not contain gluten BUT! they are grown in the same fields growing wheat and and processed on the same equipment so cross contamination is heavy. Also Oats have a protein in it similar to gluten. If you are a severe celiac then you may never be able to eat oats Hope that helps. I have been playing around with gluten free stuff for 7 years now as that is when everyone started getting Dx. But my husband was stubborn and it wasn't until he pretty much had no choice before he went on the diet compleatly |

Don't discount the effect of the pan --- I think I saw Wilton stamped on it, so its probably a heavier metal, which conducts heat better, which may have cause the boil-over of the filling. You didn't see that on the first pie because it looks to be one of those tin foil disposable pie pans. Just a thought.
Yes I did use 2 different pans I had just bought the Wilton ones and I didnt want to cross contaminate them so I used tin pans for the flour pies. Now I know that for next time. I did use a milk wash, now I am thinking for the gluten free i should have use an egg wash Thank you about the pans though |
And the problem is...

BTW, your pie looks wonderful. We celiacs know things may look a little different and appreciate your efforts. I did put xanthan gum in it. I used rice, tapioca and corn starch. The crust itself I think is alright I was just so disappointed that it bubbled over like that. I kept watching it and kept watching it. I checked it one last time and said it needs maybe 5 mins went back in 3 and it looked like that lol. If the crust had browned like the regular pie I might have been able to catch it but it didnt. Ohh well I am sure it is still good. And thanks I am trying. I have made the best cookies my husband has ever had (so he says lol) and I found some pretty good doughnuts and he likes the bisquick pancakes |
You are so funny!!! but if you need help, call me - I think I could help get rid of that ugly pie!!! :)

I see your pie question on the quilting blog and mentioned it to my friend whose family is very involved in gluten free diet and cooking due to gluten intolerance in their family. In fact, they have started a gluten free grain business: www.bigrivergrains.com which you can order all the "wierd" grains from: Amaranth, Buckwheat, Flax, Millet, Quinoa, sorghum and teff.
She used to use recipes that were all rice flour based, but says she has found tremendous luck using sorghum flour in her basic "baking" mix for a better consistency in baked goods. Her new "bible" is the cookbook "1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes" by Carol Fenster. There is a basic mix in the first few pages of that book that is the base of all the recipes. Though she hasn't tried a pie crust with it yet, she says she makes the best buttermilk biscuits around and a mean chocolate cake, yum. If you want to talk to her directly, you can email her thru the website. And, of course, I am supposed to give Big River Grains a plug and let you know their individual bags of flour will be available on line in the new few weeks. Good luck with the pie crust. |
I too have Celiac and I would LOVE to have that pie----I know what you mean abt learning to cook all over again.
I have mastered cornbread that everyone in my family will eat---- :)) |
