💭 Substitutions

• Arrowroot substitution. If you are not cassava intolerant, you can substitute it with tapioca starch (also called tapioca flour). Both tapioca and arrowroot are AIP elimination phase compliant.
• Unfortunately there are no possible substitution for the tigernut flour.

🥣Step by step instructions

• In a large bowl mix together the tigernut flour, arrowroot, cinnamon and salt.

• Add the olive oil, water and maple syrup.

• Mix with a spoon until you get a ball of dough.

• Transfer the dough to a work surface covered with parchment paper. Press the dough ball with the palm of your hand.

• Cover the dough with a second parchment paper.

• Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough between the 2 parchment papers and shape into a disk.

• Roll the dough into a circle big enough that it covers a 27 cm / 10.6 inch pie pan. Remove the top parchment paper.

• Transfer the dough to your pie pan on the other parchment paper.

• Cut excess parchment paper.

• Use your fingers to fit the dough against the sides of the pie pan.

• And voilà!

👩🏻‍🍳Top tips

• The dough is supposed to be slightly moist. If, you find it to be too moist, do not hesitate to add a little bit more arrowroot. On the other hand, if it's too dry, add a little bit of water, one teaspoon at a time.
• I recommend using a metal pan to cook this AIP pie crust as it conducts heat better.
