Gluten Free Pie Crust
GLUTEN FREE
Corn, rice, quinoa, amaranth, millet and buckwheat are gluten free grains. Some additionally avoid corn products. Gluten is a protein found in barley, rye, spelt, wheat and countless other foods such as processed meats, soy sauce, ice cream, cheese, cookies, ketchup, salad dressings, even commercially prepared almond cheese contains casein from cows; this is not vegan. Careful when buying grains, sometimes cross-contamination can occur if gluten grains are stored in the same area as the gluten free grains.
