Milk Free Pie Crust

Don't know if you have tested this but most (around 70%) of people with milk allergy are also allergic to soy, so you might consider almond milk instead. good luck!

Here you go:

flour, salt, shortening, ice water

Pie crust = flour, shortening, salt, water. No dairy, no milk. Some people use butter, but shortening would replace that and it's a meat product, not a dairy.

Butter flavored shortening

I've never made a pie crust with milk in it (and I bake a lot). The only liquids in mine are a few tablespoons of ice water and a tsp of apple cider vinegar.

I am going to be using the above recipe for my pie crust this year. Also, we have used coconut milk (from the can) in place of dairy when making pumpkin pie. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Don't even go there with the soy. I am gluten and dairy free and yes....I am sad that I cannot enjoy my Stovetop stuffing anymore but the pumpkin pie has to be perfect!! ;)

I posted this recipe yesterday and highly recommend it. It's the only crust recipe I'll use and makes a really light flaky crust. (also good with butter and cinnamon sugar sprinkled on it.:D The reason I like this recipe is that if you mess up and need to re-roll the dough, you can do so without it getting tough. Any other recipe I've used it's a one shot deal.

Never Fail Pie Crust for a 2 crust pie:

2 ¼ C. flour
2/3 C. Canola oil
1 tsp. salt
5 Tablespoons ICE water (Here in Colorado I use about 1 tsp. more as the climate is SO dry)

Stir oil into flour and salt: stir in water. Roll out between 2 sheets of parchment or waxed paper.

For fruit pies, I always add 1 tsp. of sugar to the above ingredients. That small amount of sugar just enhances the flavor for fruit pies.

For a more buttery taste without the dairy, use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks (at a local co-op or Whole Foods). They are 100% vegan (no milk protein whatsoever). Crusts made with just shortening are not as good as when you use this and mix with shortening or no shortening at all.

I'm not sure what kind of crust you're making. But if you're talking about regular, flour & shortening pie crust, it does not require milk. Use ice water a little at a time.

hope this helps

My mom just said she has never used milk. Just flour, shortening and cold water. She makes great pie crust.

I agree with "B"

Do you mean no dairy? Milk is not an ingredient in most pie crusts..

It is Butter or Shortening.

I've never made pie crust WITH milk.

I agree with the other moms....
