Ingredients Equipment Method Nutrition

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups (240g/8.4oz) almond flour
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • 3 tbsp of melted butter or ghee, coconut oil or vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp honey leave out if making a savory pie or quiche
  • 1 egg see tips on the blog for eggless option

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Baking pan with removable bottom

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F
  2. In a large bowl, add 2 ½ cups (240g/8.4oz) almond flour and ¼ tsp of salt. Mix until incorporated.
  3. Add 3 tbsp of melted butter and 2 tbsp honey (if using). Work with your fingers until you get a smooth and sandy texture and all the butter is incorporated.
  4. Add 1 egg and mix until you get a soft dough that can be pressed into a ball.
  5. Transfer the dough to the baking pan and use your hands to press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan. Try to keep the edges square.
  6. Prick a few holes in the bottom to keep the dough from puffing as it bakes.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes. (If par-baking the dough, bake for only 10 minutes.)
