INGREDIENTS
SINGLE LAYER
ALMOND CRUST
Almond Flour = 240 g / 2 cups
Unsalted Cold Butter (Cubed) = 80 g 1/3 cup
Whole egg = 1 large
Salt = 1/2 to 1 tsp
Note:
For vegan options, use vegan butter and flax eggs to replace the eggs. 1 flax egg = 1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water. Mix together and let it rest for 15 mins to thicken up.
ALMOND & COCONUT CRUST
Almond Flour = 120 g / 1 cup
Coconut Flour = 30 g / 1/4 cup
Unsalted Cold Butter (Cubed) = 80 g 1/3 cup
Whole egg = 1 large
Salt = 1/2 to 1 tsp
ALMOND & FLAXSEED CRUST
Almond Flour = 120 g / 1 cup
Ground Golden Flaxseed = 120 g / 1 cup
Unsalted Cold Butter (Cubed) = 80 g 1/3 cup
Salt = 1/2 to 1 tsp
Cold Water = 80 ml / 5 1/2 tbsp
COCONUT & FLAXSEED CRUST
Coconut Flour = 60 g / 1/2 cup
Ground Golden Flaxseed = 40 g / 5.7 tbsp
Unsalted Cold Butter (Cubed) = 40 g / 2.8 tbsp
Whole eggs = 2 large
Salt = 1/2 to 1 tsp
Cold Water = 60 ml / 4 tbsp
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C.
2. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients until well combined.
3. Add the cold cubed butter and use your hands to mash them into small pieces. Then switch to flatten the dough between your hands. The thin sheets of butter created will melt as the crust bakes and it produces steam which pushes the flour around them and that is how we get the flaky layers.
4. Add the eggs (and/or cold water for certain recipes) and mix until it becomes a dough.
5. Place dough on a greased 9" or 23 cm non-stick pie pan with a removable bottom. Spread the dough evenly. Then prick some holes with a fork and freeze dough for 15 mins.
6. After the dough has been chilled, place a parchment paper on the dough and fill with any suitable weights. Blind bake for 15 mins, then remove the paper and weights. Cover the pan with foil to prevent over browning of the edges. Bake for another 15 mins.
7. Fill with any of your preferred fillings and bake according to your recipe. See this link for my keto lemon tart recipe - • HOW TO MAKE KETO LEMON...
INGREDIENTS
DOUBLE LAYERS
ALMOND CRUST
Almond Flour = 480 g / 4 cups
Unsalted Cold Butter (Cubed) = 160 g / 2/3 cup
Salt = 1 to 2 tsp
Xanthan Gum = 32 g / 8 tsp
Cold Water = 160 ml / 11 tbsp
ALMOND & FLAXSEED CRUST
Almond Flour = 240 g / 2 cups
Ground Golden Flaxseed = 240 g / 2 cups
Unsalted Cold Butter (Cubed) = 160 g / 2/3 cup
Salt = 1 to 2 tsp
Xanthan Gum = 32 g / 8 tsp
Cold Water = 160 ml / 11 tbsp
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C.
2. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients until well combined.
3. Add the cold cubed butter and use your hands to mash them into small pieces. Then switch to flatten the dough with butter between your hands to create flaky layers.
4. Add the cold water and mix until it becomes a dough. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Wrap with cling wrap and freeze for 1 hour.
5. Roll the dough between 2 parchment papers until a diameter of 11 to 12" or 30 cm. Gently transfer the dough using the rolling pin onto the pan. Press dough into the edges of pan and trim off any excess so the dough is only slightly higher than the pan. Spoon fillings onto the crust then cover with the second layer of dough. In the video, I used the fillings from my Keto Chicken Pot Pie so you can check out the video by clicking this link - • HOW TO MAKE KETO CHICK...
6. Pinch both layers of dough together to seal. Then pinch the edges to create a pattern.
7. Brush with egg yolks (omit for vegan option) and bake according to your recipe.

Oh Elsie,this video is simply fantastic. I was actually going to suggest you this idea🤣 By the way , yesterday I made the chicken pot pie with your coconut crust the way u told me,it was pretty good. I didn't double the recipe since my pot was small & I didn't want to have too mch dough. Loved it & will send a picture so that u can see how it looked😉 Thank you❣️

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Thanks Niki ! I was actually planning to do this for some time but had to try out on recipes first then more ideas came so the list of crusts kept increasing hehe.. Think I finally got it all then only decided to proceed. Glad the coconut flaxseed crust turned out well for your chicken pot pie. Thanks for your feedback ❤

Hello from France and thank you for all these beautiful recipes. I just bought your 2 ebooks and the recipes are great. A question about this recipe: I tried the almond flour (1 layer) and I really really loved it. However, when I made the quiche with xanthan gum instead of egg, I didn't like the taste and the texture. You replaced the egg with xanthan gum for the 2 layers for what reason? if I substitute xanthan gum for egg on my own, would it be successful with 2 layers? according to your involvement I'm sure you tried ... A big thank you for your answer and thank you in advance for all future recipes 🙏

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Xanthan gum is more effective for binding so the dough is easier to roll and transfer to the pan. And usually it has a neutral taste so I am surprised that you did not like the taste. The addition of egg may not be as effective but you can certainly try it 🙏 Thanks so much for your support 🙏❤️

Can I use a glass or ceramic pie plate rather than one with the removable bottom?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Yes you u can

[@michele7944]

Which crust is your favourite for a quiche?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

I like the almond crust as it is the crispiest. You can check out the video for my quiche recipes kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZfVhZSEqLSdfck kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6XaoaFja7h8i5Y

[@aimeejoyaustria3150]

Can I use 1 tbsp Psyllium hunks?? Because I have no flaxed seeds yet.

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

Unfortunately, they have different functions. Psyllium husk provides the elasticity to shape or roll the dough

[@loverself6360]

Which ones the best?? About taste~

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

If you're looking for a flaky and crispy crust, it would have to be the almond crust

[@ummihanaomar7498]

Which one should I make to have the crispy crust ?

[@lowcarbrecipeideas]

The pure almond crust is the crispiest

Can the cooked crusts be frozen?
