Hi, Cara. I have one in the cookbook, but that won’t help you for this Thanksgiving, now will it? ;) Try the Galette Pastry Crust in the Plum Galette/Plum Crumble recipe right here on the blog. It will work well. Enjoy!
Warmly,
Nicole

Question – have you found an easy pie crust recipe? I was hoping to make a GF pumpkin pie, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

Hi, Amy,
I actually have been using mostly Better Batter all purpose gluten-free flour these days. It’s a finer grain than Bob’s, and a little lighter weight, which I like. I order it from their site (www.betterbatter.org). But really any all purpose gf will do.
Warmly,
Nicole

I’m curious, what flour did you use for this? Is it still Bob’s All Purpose, or are you using something else these days? I’ve been making my own “all purpose” gf flour…Thanks!

Hi, Nicol,
Absolutely yes! Did I never get back to you in response to this? I’m so sorry! Definitely sub in whole milk. It’ll be fine.
Warmly,

I have all the ingredients on hand except for the cream. Can I substitute it with whole milk?

Hi, Theresa,
Definitely, any dairy substitute will work, as long as it’s not fat free. Almond milk should work well. I don’t think you need it to be thicker than usual. Let us know how it turns out! Thanks for posting your question. I’m sure others were wondering the same thing.
Warmly,
Nicole

Just a quick question for the dairy-sensitive… is the cream necessary or could I use almond milk? Perhaps make a thicker batch of almond milk so it’s almost cream-like? These look AMAZING and I can’t wait to make them!

Thank you for posting this Nicole–I’ve been looking for just this kind of recipe–that photo is amazing. I’ve planned something else for dessert with friends tonight but now I wish I could make this!
